Replace one tooth or a full arch with a permanent, natural-looking solution.
★★★★★ 5.0 (200+ Google Reviews)Missing or failing teeth can change how you eat, speak, and smile. For Kirkland patients, dental implants are one of the most durable ways to replace them, and they are a treatment where the planning behind the procedure matters as much as the procedure itself.
At Lifetime Smiles Bellevue, Dr. Michael Beke, DMD, helps patients from Kirkland and across the Eastside replace missing teeth with dental implants. Our office is at 2800 156th Ave SE in Bellevue’s Eastgate area, and our Kirkland page has more about our practice and how to reach us.
Dr. Beke offers single-tooth implants, implant-supported dentures, All-on-X full-arch treatment, and bone grafting to Kirkland patients. The right approach depends on how many teeth you are missing, your bone density, and your long-term goals.
When one tooth is missing or cannot be saved, a single-tooth implant replaces it without involving the neighboring teeth. It can be a good fit for patients with an isolated problem area and otherwise healthy teeth.
If a damaged tooth needs to come out first, Dr. Beke also performs simple and surgical extractions as part of the plan.
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, or whose remaining teeth are failing, All-on-X full-arch treatment can restore one arch using a small number of strategically placed implants. It can support a full set of replacement teeth without needing an implant for every missing tooth.
Dr. Beke reviews your bone structure, bite, and goals before recommending a plan, and he discusses the benefits and limits of the treatment openly so you know what to expect.
For patients who want more stability than traditional dentures offer, implant-supported dentures attach to implants placed in the jaw, which can reduce the slipping and shifting that often comes with removable dentures.
Dr. Beke will explain how an implant-supported denture would work for you and what the research says about long-term outcomes, so you can make an informed decision.
Some patients considering implants have lost bone in the jaw, often from wearing dentures for a long time or from losing a tooth years ago. In these cases, bone grafting can help rebuild the foundation needed to support an implant.
Dr. Beke evaluates your jaw with imaging before deciding whether grafting is part of the right plan.
When a damaged or failing tooth cannot be saved, extraction is often the first step toward an implant. Dr. Beke performs tooth extractions with care to preserve as much of the surrounding bone as possible. In select cases, an implant can be placed at the same appointment as the extraction, which can shorten overall treatment time.
Implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia. Patients who feel anxious about dental treatment, or who are having more extensive work, can ask about oral conscious sedation, which keeps you relaxed and responsive throughout the appointment. It can be especially helpful if concerns about the procedure have kept you from moving forward.
Lifetime Smiles Bellevue has served Eastside families for more than 35 years, and many patients have trusted the practice across generations. Dr. Beke is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry and brings the discipline of his military background with the 82nd Airborne Division to his care. You can see every community we serve on our Areas We Serve page.
Dr. Beke uses diagnostic imaging to evaluate your bone structure, nerve locations, and sinus positions before placing implants. This planning supports accurate implant positioning for both function and appearance while reducing surgical risk, and every case follows an evidence-based protocol.
Dr. Beke combines his Academy of General Dentistry Fellowship and ongoing continuing education with hands-on experience placing implants. He treats cases that range from a single missing tooth to full-arch restorations and bone grafting.
The final restoration matters as much as the implant itself. Dr. Beke works with skilled dental laboratory technicians who create custom crowns, bridges, and dentures designed to look natural and fit precisely.
We also want implant treatment to feel manageable from a planning standpoint. Here is what our patients can count on when it comes to payment options.
Our goal is to make sure cost questions do not stand in the way of getting the care you need.
Dr. Beke is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, a distinction that requires extensive continuing education and a comprehensive examination. Combined with our practice’s 35-year history in Bellevue, our doctor’s background reflects a steady, measured approach to implant care.

With proper care, dental implants are designed to last for many years, and many last a lifetime. Long-term success depends on factors such as oral hygiene, regular dental visits, gum health, and habits like smoking. Dr. Beke will review the factors that apply to you during your consultation.
Gum disease and bone loss do not automatically rule out implants. Gum disease generally needs to be treated first, and bone loss can often be addressed with bone grafting to rebuild the site. Dr. Beke evaluates your gums and jawbone with imaging to determine whether you are a candidate and what preparation is needed.
Implant treatment happens in stages, with appointments at our Bellevue office for your consultation, implant placement, and final restoration. Healing takes several months, and Dr. Beke will outline the schedule at your consultation so you can plan around work and travel from Kirkland.
In select cases where conditions are right, Dr. Beke can place an implant at the same appointment as a tooth extraction, which reduces the number of appointments. Full-arch treatment is planned carefully and evaluated case by case during your consultation.
The cost depends on how many implants you need, whether extractions or bone grafting are required, and the type of restoration. We review your treatment plan and costs with you at your consultation. We accept Delta Dental PPO, Premera, and Regence, which may help cover part of treatment, and we offer CareCredit financing for qualifying patients.
