Dental Implants

Dr. Andrew Biggs, who is known for his skill in the field of implant dentistry, frequently places and restores dental implants for our patients in Spokane. Dental implants serve as artificial tooth roots, and are a durable and permanent solution for patients who are missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which are removed for sleeping and cleaning, dental implants are actually integrated into the surrounding jaw bone. With proper maintenance, dental implants placed by Dr. Biggs at his Spokane office can provide patients with beautiful and functional smiles for life.

Once Dr. Biggs has determined that you are a suitable candidate for implant dentistry, you will visit his Spokane office to have your gums prepared to receive the anchor portion of your implants. Once your gums have healed, you will return to the office to have the titanium dental implants placed in your jawbone. These implants will actually fuse to the bones of your jaw in a process known as osseointegration, providing unmatched support for the custom-crafted replacement teeth that Dr. Biggs will attach once your mouth has healed. For patients who are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the most aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, and permanent solution available. There are many situations in which these steps can be performed in one visit. If you would like to repair gaps in your smile through advanced implant dentistry, contact the Spokane office of Dr. Andrew Biggs today.

Dental Crowns

Commonly referred to as dental caps, dental crowns are a natural-looking way to restore the appearance and functionality of teeth that are chipped, cracked, broken, or discolored. Better yet, Andrew Biggs, D.M.D. can furnish his patients with beautiful and comfortable dental crowns in as few as two visits to his Spokane office. At your first appointment, Dr. Biggs will prepare your tooth for the crown by filing it down to make room for the restoration; if necessary, he may also perform a root canal to rid the tooth of any infected tissues. He will then take an impression of the damaged tooth and fit you with a temporary crown while your restoration is custom crafted in a laboratory. When you return to see Dr. Biggs, he will fit the crown over your prepared tooth and affix it permanently into place.

Dental crowns from our Spokane office not only restore the appearance of damaged teeth, but also minimize sensitivity and discomfort while providing structural support. Unlike porcelain veneers, dental crowns cover the entire surface of the tooth, so they effectively prevent future breakage and pain. Furthermore, the dental crowns Dr. Biggs uses at his Spokane office are so durable that they can last for up to 40 years with proper maintenance. If you are suffering from broken or damaged teeth and feel that dental crowns may be the solution you need, schedule a restorative dentistry appointment at our Spokane office.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is used to “bridge the gap” when a patient is missing one or more teeth. A bridge is an artificial tooth that is cemented permanently into a patient’s mouth. Not only do bridges provide aesthetic benefits for people who have gaps in their smiles, but they also lend support to surrounding teeth and keep them from shifting out of place. Dr. Andrew Biggs can attach bridges to dental implants or to natural teeth that have been fitted with dental crowns. For more information about dental bridges and other restorative dentistry solutions, contact the Spokane practice of Andrew Biggs, D.M.D.

Dentures

Removable dentures are an excellent restorative dentistry option for our Spokane patients who are missing teeth. With recent advances in technology, modern dentures have far surpassed their predecessors in comfort, appearance, and durability. The first step for our patients who wish to repair their smiles with dentures is a consultation with Dr. Andrew Biggs, after which he will measure and prepare the patient’s mouth for dentures. During this session, Dr. Biggs will prepare the patient’s gums, remove any remaining damaged teeth, and create a mold of the patient’s mouth. The mold will be sent to a dental laboratory, where dentures will be custom created for a close, comfortable, and natural-looking fit. Once the patient’s dentures are ready, he or she will return to our office to have them fitted. With proper cleaning and maintenance, these dentures can provide the patient with improved speaking and chewing function, as well as a magnificent smile, for years to come.
