Steps in Your Dental Implant Procedure in Des Moines, WA
1
Complimentary Dental Implant Consultation
Your smile transformation begins with a free consultation, comprehensive exam, and advanced digital imaging to evaluate your oral health and carefully plan every detail of treatment.
Customized Implant Planning
Here at Slievemore we believe more is better. we are one of the only clinics in Ireland using osseodensification. This allows us to preserve your bone during implant placement by compacting it instead of cutting it away. This modern concept and advanced technique means we can keep all those valuable cells alive in order to give you implants that can last a lifetime.

Precise Implant Placement

Temporary Teeth & Immediate Smile Restoration
For many full-mouth implant patients, temporary implant-supported teeth can often be placed the same day as surgery to restore a functional, natural-looking smile during healing.

Healing & Bone Integration
Over 3–6 months, the implant naturally integrates with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a structure that provides strength and function similar to a natural tooth root.
This means better-fitting teeth, fewer adjustments, and a more comfortable experience — all while delivering long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures Tailored to You
Dental crowns and bridges are durable, natural-looking restorations designed to rebuild damaged or missing teeth or correct imperfect-looking teeth. Crowns are used to strengthen and protect a weakened tooth, while bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to surrounding teeth or implants.
At Des Moines Dental Center, restorations are carefully crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless appearance. The result is a restored smile that looks great and functions comfortably for everyday chewing and speaking.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front of teeth to enhance their appearance. They’re an excellent solution for improving the look of otherwise healthy teeth that are chipped, stained, slightly misaligned, or unevenly shaped.
Each veneer is carefully designed to create a natural, balanced smile while maintaining long-lasting durability. With veneers, Dr. Kristin can help you achieve a dramatic yet natural-looking smile transformation with minimal intervention.
Professional teeth whitening is a fast, safe, and effective way to brighten your smile and remove years of staining. In-office whitening treatments deliver more noticeable and longer-lasting results without the downsides of over-the-counter products, which are typically ineffective and can cause sensitivity.
This treatment can significantly lighten discoloration caused by coffee, tea, wine, smoking, and everyday wear. In just one visit, you can enjoy a noticeably whiter, more youthful-looking smile!
SureSmile clear aligners offer a discreet and comfortable way to straighten teeth without traditional braces. These custom-made, removable aligners gradually shift teeth into proper alignment using a series of clear trays.
Because they’re nearly invisible and removable, they allow you to maintain a natural appearance and proper oral hygiene throughout treatment. SureSmile at Des Moines Dental Center is an excellent option for many teens and adults with mild to moderate misalignment issues who are seeking a convenient and effective orthodontic solution.
