Our office takes a patient-centered approach to care, with a focus on comfort and compassion. We want to know you on a personal level, and that includes knowing what your dental needs are. You should feel like more than a patient when we see you; you should feel like a part of our large, extended family.
When you come to our Seattle office, Dr. Taba will listen to your goals and help you create a plan that meets them. For some patients, that will mean receiving care with cosmetic dentistry. For others, it will mean more advanced care, with dental implants, for instance. Regardless of the service, Dr. Taba's goal is to create natural-looking results that improve health, well-being, and confidence.
Why is replacing missing teeth important? Because of the radical changes that they can bring about in your life. There's more than just your appearance at stake. Missing teeth can interfere with your ability to talk, smile, and laugh, and it can limit your ability to enjoy a healthy diet.
With dental implants, Dr. Taba can help you restore what you've lost. That includes the tooth roots that anchored your teeth to your jaw. Dental implants have a structure similar to nature's own, with a crown on top and a prosthetic root underneath made of titanium. This root will form a bond with your jaw over time, preserving its structural integrity and creating a strong, stable foundation for your new crown, bridge, partial, or full denture.
We also offer care for sleep apnea. This common but underdiagnosed condition disrupts your ability to sleep well at night and can lead to a host of other problems. It can even cause snoring. But with care, it's possible for sleep apnea patients to once again enjoy a night of uninterrupted sleep.
At Dr. Taba's office, we provide the same experienced, friendly, and gentle dentistry for every member of your family, including the kids. In fact, Dr. Taba is well-known for helping children of all ages, even as young as three years old. Dr. T. loves kids, and weve found that they love him, too! That may be because he's been known to act like a kid, horsing around and keeping the kids laughing. Or it could be all the video games we let kids play during their dental visits.
If youre missing teeth, theres more at stake than your appearance. The inability to eat a normal diet can put your health at risk. Some people also shy away from social situations and retreat from an active lifestyle. But with dental implants, Dr. Taba can give you a natural-looking smile that fits, feels, and functions like real teeth. That way, you can eat right, feel comfortable in social settings, and smile with confidence.
Whether you need full dentures, partials, or just repairs or maintenance, we use only high-quality products and materials. So you know youre getting the great care you deserve, and dentures and partials that fit comfortably.
