Mukilteo Dental Implants
Replace missing teeth and revive your smile.
Got Missing Teeth?
A dental implant is the closest you can get to a natural, healthy tooth!
Mukilteo dental implants are a great long-term, permanent solution to your missing teeth that allows you to live life confidently and worry-free.
How do dental implants work?
Think of a dental implant as the root of an artificial tooth.
An implant is surgically placed into your jawbone, where over time, it bonds with your natural bone. This implant is then covered with a shiny new crown, which looks and feels like a natural tooth.

Why Should You Get a Dental Implant?
Missing teeth is more than just bad for your looks... it's bad for your health!
Supports Healthy Jawbone
Missing teeth quickly leads to jawbone deterioration, which can result in shifting teeth, a sunken look to the face, and other health problems. Dental implants infuse with the bone, providing the proper stimulation to maintain a healthy jawbone.
Built to Last
Dental implants are a long-term investment in your health, lasting many decades. Compared to bridges and dentures, implants can't be beaten.
Beautiful, Healthy Smiles
Dental implants allow you to eat, talk, smile, and live confidently again. Don’t let missing teeth hold you back from feeling great!

Dental implants are a robust and long-term solution. Unlike natural teeth, they aren't susceptible to diseases like tooth decay.
However, the health of the gums is critical to ensure the longevity of your implant. With proper dental hygiene and regular professional cleanings and check-ups, Mukilteo dental implants can last for decades.
No, dental implants are not removable. They act just like a natural tooth, fixed solidly in the bone permanently.
The cost of your dental implants will vary by your needs, bone quantity, and region.
Dental implant treatment may qualify for some insurance coverage, but situations vary.
To find out exactly how much a dental implant will cost you and to verify your insurance coverage, schedule a consultation with Dr. Johnson today.
Our goal is to always make your experience as stressless and pain-free as possible. There may be some discomfort during and after the procedure, though most patients agree that the pain is minimal and not as bad as it might seem.
Usually, a local anesthetic is used, which means you are awake during the surgery. Many patients simply take aspirin, ibuprofen, or Tylenol to relieve discomfort. If desired, there are additional pain-relief options we can provide.
The procedure steps can vary based on your needs, but generally, here's what you can expect:
- Consultation: You'll come in for a consultation at our Mukilteo office. We'll determine your individualized treatment plan, associated costs, insurance coverage, and a timeline.
- Dental implant placement: A small titanium post is implanted in your jawbone. Most people find this procedure relatively painless and can return to work the next day.
- Healing process: During osseointegration, your natural jawbone will heal around the implant, creating a strong and permanent foundation. This process can usually take a few months.
- Abutment placement: Once healed, a small connector is placed on the dental implant, just above the gum line, to hold your new tooth securely.
- Crown attachment: The crown is essentially an artificial tooth that looks and feels just like a natural one. The crown is attached to the abutment.
