Missing teeth can significantly impact your daily life and overall well-being. Adhering to a soft food diet becomes necessary as chewing tougher foods causes discomfort, limiting your nutritional choices and enjoyment of meals. Speaking clearly and confidently can also become a struggle, making social interactions hard. Smiling, once a natural expression of joy, may cause self-consciousness and embarrassment, especially if the gaps are visible. Tooth loss can even lead to bone recession, resulting in a sunken, aged appearance that can diminish your self-esteem.
Fortunately, effective solutions like dental implants can restore the functionality and aesthetics of natural teeth, protect your jaw, and offer unmatched longevity. These options provide the functionality and aesthetics of natural teeth, protect your jaw, and offer unmatched longevity. You might be amazed at how quickly you can eat, speak, laugh, and smile again once our team at Advanced Dental Implant Center replaces your teeth. We will help you find the right tooth replacement solution for a complete, confident, and healthy smile!
When treatments like root canals, gum disease therapy, and restorative dentistry are ineffective, removing damaged, infected, or failing teeth becomes essential to protect your dental and overall health. Except for wisdom teeth or extra teeth causing overcrowding, most teeth should be replaced after removal. Tooth loss can significantly decrease your quality of life and trigger a “domino effect” on your health.
Without natural tooth roots stimulating healthy bone growth, bone deterioration can occur beneath the empty tooth socket, potentially leading to further tooth loss in adjacent teeth. Replacing your tooth promptly can prevent extensive bone loss and eliminate the need for bone grafting procedures. If your bone is stable or has been reconstructed, you can choose between dental bridges, dentures, and dental implants to achieve a new, complete smile.
Dental bridges are frequently the first solution many patients think of for one missing tooth or a series of missing teeth. Dental bridges are made of crowns that span the gap left behind by tooth loss.
When placing your dental bridge in Tacoma, WA, the enamel of one or more adjacent teeth (abutment teeth) at the bridge’s foundation must be removed. Once placed, this solution is esthetic and prevents adjacent teeth from shifting.
Dentures are a time-tested, economical solution to tooth loss. They fit over your gums and stay in place through suction or adhesive creams but can also be removed.
You can have full or partial dentures; complete dentures cover entire arches of teeth, essentially replacing all your teeth, while partial dentures take the place of a few missing teeth in a row or throughout an arch.
For additional stability, dental implants can anchor dentures in your jawbone. Implant-supported dentures won’t slip out of place or irritate your gums and offer healthy bone stimulation. They also enable you to eat more foods than standard dentures.
Dental implants are the best overall tooth replacement option available today. They are the most natural-looking solution and can last decades with proper care. Dental implants can replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch of teeth.
Comprised partly of artificial tooth roots, they protect your jawbone from deterioration and thus your facial shape from changing. They allow you to eat anything you want—hard foods, sticky foods, chewy foods, and whatever your favorites might be.

Advanced Dental Implant Center are part of a professional affiliation of dental implant practices operated by oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, and restorative dentists. With the specialized techniques used by Advanced Dental Implant Center, such as zygomatic and pterygoid implants, nearly all patients qualify for same day dental implants from a dental perspective. Prospective patients require an initial workup that includes an oral examination, 3D radiographic evaluation, and medical history consultation. Some patients with certain medical histories may not qualify for surgical treatment. “Teeth-in-a-day”, “one day implant teeth”, “same day implant teeth”, etc. refers to the fact that on the day of surgery, patients will have teeth removed (unless all teeth are already missing, dental implants placed, and a screw retained prosthesis secured to these implants on the same day as the surgery. While this first set of teeth are permanent in the fact that they are secured to the dental implants by screws, these teeth are typically not the final set of teeth as the patient will be allowed to heal prior to the delivery of the final set of teeth. Furthermore, the patient will be allowed to suggest desired changes to the initial set of teeth prior to the fabrication of the final set of teeth. The initial set of screw retained implant teeth are permanent in the fact that they are not removable by the patient and can only be removed by personnel in a dental office. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime depending on the age of the patient when the implants were originally placed. Studies show that dental implants can last over 25 years with proper home care and regular professional maintenance.
