WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Restoring function back to your smile.
Implants have become the preferred standard of care when replacing missing, damaged, or deformed teeth. In fact, Ballard Dental Arts is Ballard’s top choice for dental implants. Moreover, we utilize the latest in guided implant technology by using a Cone Beam CT scanner.
To explain further, implants are titanium posts that screw into your jawbone to replace the root of your missing tooth. This advanced technology ensures precision and effectiveness in the placement of implants. As a result, implants can be used in the following ways:
- Replacement of one or more missing teeth
- Support of a bridge to replace multiple teeth
- Support of a non-removable full or partial denture

Implants
- Implants preserve the bone level
- Implants allow you to floss and clean the area just like a natural tooth
- Implants have a success rate of 98%
