Dental Implants in Monroe, WA: Start to Finish

Implants in One Office. Dr. Cho Places Them and Puts the Tooth On

You do not get sent to a surgeon, then back here, then to a lab. Consultation, 3D scan, placement, and the crown happen at 1221 W Main. Dr. Cho is a Fellow and Diplomate of the ICOI and trained at the Misch Implant Institute.

That is the difference in Monroe. Most sites say “we offer implants.” One office says they “quarterback” a specialist. We do the work.

The Timeline, in Order

  1. Consult (That First 90-Minute Visit Can Start This): Exam, digital scan, and CBCT when we need to see bone in 3D. You find out if you are a candidate, if a tooth has to come out, and if the bone needs a graft. You leave with a plan and a cost.
  2. Extract, if the Tooth Is Still There: Sometimes the implant can go in the same visit. Sometimes the site has to heal first. We will say which, before you are numb.
  3. Graft, if the Bone Is Thin: Extra months, not extra offices.
  4. Place the Implant: Numb, a small opening, the titanium root goes into bone. Nitrous or oral sedation if you want it. You go home the same day.
  5. Heal (Osseointegration): The bone locks to the implant. This is the waiting. Often a few months. You are not in a flipper forever if we can give you something better in the meantime.
  6. The Tooth: We scan, design, and restore here. Many implant crowns are done in-office with CEREC instead of a second impression and a two-week temp.

One tooth, several teeth, or implant-supported dentures. Same office.

How Long Does the Whole Thing Take?3d graphic art design of a dental implant

Simple case: Consult, place, heal, crown, often a few months, not a year of referrals. If you need an extraction and a graft, we add that time on purpose so the implant lasts.

What It Feels Like

Local anesthetic. Most people say the idea is worse than the visit. Sedation is available. You will be sore. You will get written after-care, not a printout from 2014.

What We Will Tell You if Implants Are Not Right

Heavy smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, or not enough bone even with a graft can make this the wrong tool. We will say so and talk about a bridge or a partial. We do not sell an implant to everyone who asks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tooth loss has a devastating impact on your self-esteem and also influences your oral health. The good news is we offer tooth replacement options to restore your confidence and preserve the well-being of your teeth and gums. This includes quality dental implants in Monroe, WA.

man giving his wife a piggy back rideDental implants are most dentists' first choice because of their similarity to natural teeth. In fact, they are the only choice for full anatomy replacement—root and crown. With this method, you can stimulate your jawbone to prevent bone loss, and dental implants prevent your other teeth from shifting and migrating.

Dental Implant Consultation in Monroe

Your first step is to learn whether you’re a candidate for dental implants. This starts with a consultation with your Monroe implant dentist. This initial exam may include x-rays, a health history, and a thorough oral health checkup.

One consideration for dental implants is jawbone health. For example, if your jawbone has deteriorated substantially, you may require bone grafting to make dental implants a reality. Some patients opt for professional teeth whitening before implant placement. This allows them to choose a lighter replacement tooth.  

We recommend you talk to your dentist about implant options, including implant-supported dentures in Monroe, WA.
