Welcome to Berg Dental Group, your premier destination for dental implants in Tacoma. Whether you are considering individual dental implants, implant-retained dentures, or partials, Dr. Brian Berg and our skilled team are here to restore both the functionality and aesthetics of your smile with the most advanced dental implant solutions available.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a state-of-the-art solution for replacing missing or severely damaged teeth. They serve as a sturdy foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth. Composed of titanium, a material that integrates with bone over time, implants fuse with your jawbone, providing stable support for artificial teeth.

Benefits of Implants

Dental implants offer numerous benefits over traditional dentures or bridges, including:

• Improved Appearance: Implants look and feel like your natural teeth and are designed to fuse with bone, becoming permanent.
• Enhanced Comfort: As part of your jawbone, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
• Easier Eating: Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.
• Easy Cleaning: You take care of dental implants the same way as a normal tooth, with brushing, flossing, and regular cleaning appointments.
• Improved Oral Health: Unlike a tooth-supported bridge, implants don't require reducing other teeth. More of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health.
• Durability: Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
• Convenience: Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.

Our Dental Implant Services

At Berg Dental Group in Tacoma, we offer a comprehensive range of dental implant services to meet different needs and preferences.

• Individual Dental Implants: For those missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, individual dental implants are an excellent solution. Each implant is placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth and topped with a crown. This option not only restores the tooth but also preserves the health of the jawbone and maintains the alignment of surrounding teeth.
• Implant-Retained Dentures: For patients missing many or all of their teeth, implant-retained dentures provide a more secure and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. Unlike conventional dentures that rest on the gums, implant-retained dentures snap onto strategically placed implants. This design minimizes shifting and slipping, offering you freedom from the worries of loose dentures.
• Implant-Supported Partials: Similar to implant-retained dentures, implant-supported partials are anchored on implants rather than resting on the gums. This type of restoration is used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw. They are an excellent choice for patients who seek a more natural feeling and functioning solution than traditional partial dentures.

The Process of Getting Dental Implants

There are three main steps to the process of replacing a tooth with a dental implant:

1. Consultation and Planning: Your journey towards a renewed smile begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Brian Berg. During this session, we assess your oral health, discuss your dental history, and use advanced imaging technologies to plan the precise placement of your dental implants.
2. Implant Placement: The implant placement is a surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Berg places the titanium implant post into the jawbone, where it will heal and integrate with the bone, a process that can take several months.
3. Restoration: Once the implant has bonded with the jawbone, you'll return for the placement of the artificial tooth (or teeth). For individual implants, a custom-made crown will be attached to the implant. For implant-retained dentures or partials, corresponding fixtures are added to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
