Unfortunately, with most restorative solutions, that\u2019s not possible. But it is with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s because <strong>dental implants<\/strong> come with a prosthetic root that anchors the new restoration to the jaw and stimulates the growth of new bone tissue in the jaw. The jaw needs this kind of stimulation to stay healthy and only <strong>dental implants<\/strong> are structured in such a way as to mimic the natural structure of teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process of restoring a smile with <strong>dental implants<\/strong> is a two-stage process. In the first, our <strong>Bellingham<\/strong> team will insert one or more <strong>implants<\/strong> in your jaw. How many <strong>implants<\/strong> you\u2019ll get will depend on how many teeth you\u2019ll be replacing. <strong>Dental implants<\/strong> are an incredibly versatile service. You can replace a single or an entire row of upper or lower teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When your <strong>implants<\/strong> have been put in place, they\u2019ll be given some time to bond with your jaw. Then, once a strong bond has formed between them, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/about-the-doctors.html\">dentists<\/a> will attach your new crown, bridge, or denture, completing your restoration procedure. With your new smile in place, you can enjoy the kind of functionality you once had with your natural smile. That means you can speak and eat easily, without having to worry about loose dentures that don\u2019t fit right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dental implants<\/strong> aren\u2019t right for everyone, though. To find out if <strong>dental implants<\/strong> can help you, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/contact-us.html\">call<\/a> <strong>Young Dental Advanced Dental Arts<\/strong> today. Our <strong>Bellingham<\/strong> office serves patients from <strong>Ferndale<\/strong>, <strong>Lynden<\/strong>, <strong>Everson<\/strong>, and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When a patient who\u2019s missing one or more teeth comes to their dentist for restorative help, what they want is a solution that will get them what they once had.
