If you want a permanent, natural-looking replacement for your missing tooth, consider dental implants. Dr. Schwam is a skilled restorative dentist with advanced training in implant dentistry. He'll perform all facets of your dental implant placement and restoration at our Redmond dental office.
An implant has two parts - a post that acts as an artificial tooth root and a replacement tooth or multiple-teeth prosthetic that attaches to the post. Many patients prefer dental implants because they look natural and feel fantastic. Dental implants are permanent and can last a lifetime. You won't need dental adhesive, and you'll never experience embarrassing slippage.
If your case qualifies for dental implants, Dr. Schwam will place tiny titanium posts in your jaw, one for each replacement tooth or a few to secure a denture or partial. You'll wear temporary replacement teeth until the surgical site heals. Then Dr. Schwam will mount your custom crown or prosthetic atop the post(s) to complete your smile. Implant dentistry can give you the strong, healthy smile you deserve.
Mini Dental Implants
Not every patient is a candidate for full-size implants, whether because of a lack of bone density or because of what a traditional implant procedure entails. That’s why our Redmond office also offers mini dental implants. With mini dental implants, Dr. Schwam can help patients enjoy improved functionality and appearance with a smile that looks and feels more natural.
Like traditional implants, mini implants mimic a prosthetic tooth root. When combined with a retaining fixture and a denture, they can provide comfortable, long-term stabilization that’s more affordable for patients and lets you enjoy all your favorite foods.
As an added benefit, mini dental implant placement and restoration can be completed in just a single visit with a simple, minimally invasive procedure that Dr. Schwam conducts right in our office. Absolutely no sutures are necessary, and your recovery time is significantly reduced. You may even be able to enjoy a meal with friends or family later that same day.
Call our dental office today to schedule your implant dentistry consultation with Dr. Schwam. We serve residents of Redmond, Terrebonne, Deschutes, and surrounding areas with personalized care and clinical excellence.
