Tacoma Dentures and Implants

Tacoma Dentures and Implants is a highly specialized dental clinic located at 1530 S Union Ave #7, Tacoma, WA 98405. Unlike general dentistry practices, this clinic focuses exclusively on dental implants, extractions, and various denture solutions, allowing for deep expertise and optimized procedures in these specific areas. A key differentiator for Tacoma Dentures and Implants is their on-site dental lab. This in-house facility plays a crucial role in providing prompt and customized services, significantly reducing the waiting time often associated with external labs. This integrated approach not only enhances efficiency but also allows for more personalized adjustments and fittings, contributing to better patient outcomes and potentially lower costs. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of denture options, from economical to premium, including full and partial dentures. Their standout service is the "Teeth in a Day" or All-on-4 dental implant procedure. This advanced technique allows patients to have any remaining teeth extracted, implants placed, and a temporary fixed bridge delivered in a single day. The clinic meticulously analyzes each case, often placing between four and six implants per arch, utilizing a combination of straight and angled implants to avoid sinus augmentation bone grafts. For permanent teeth, they frequently use zirconia, a material known for its strength, which is a notable upgrade from conventional acrylic dentures used by many other practices. The team at Tacoma Dentures and Implants is driven by a passion for restoring smiles and improving patients' quality of life. Dr. Paige Moorhead, an oral implantologist with extensive experience and continuous advanced education in implantology, leads the clinical team. Her background includes a surgical internship and a faculty role at the University of Washington Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery program, demonstrating a strong foundation in oral surgery before specializing in implants. The clinic aims to make high-quality tooth replacement solutions accessible, offering competitive pricing and various financing options like CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and ONEderful. They also claim a "Best Price Guarantee," vowing to beat competitor pricing for comparable services. Patient testimonials often highlight the compassionate and professional nature of the staff, the efficiency of the service, and the life-changing results of their dental work.
