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.
Implants are titanium posts that screw into your jawbone to replace the root of your missing tooth. 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
BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
Implants vs Bridges – Who Wins?
You always have options for different kinds of treatment. First, we will, of course, present you with the most ideal option. However, we will also do our best to find other more economical ways to help you achieve your goals.
Next, let’s compare how tooth implants compare with dental bridges:
Bridges
- A bridge is difficult to keep clean
- A bridge requires aggressive tooth reduction of healthy teeth that are supporting the bridge
- An implant saves the adjacent teeth
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%
The dental hygienist, dentist, and office staff were really friendly and efficient. They are all knowledgeable and explained what was happening with my teeth. So grateful they were able to fit me in with a next-day urgent appointment for an exam to determine if a cavity filling will be necessary.
Good folks, very friendly, and apparently very popular!
Place is great - friendly and accommodating staff.

Both the dentist and assistant were very thorough and professional explaining each step of the process. Even the front office was helpful. Highly recommend!
I started going to Ballard Dental Arts based on a friend's referral, and I'm so glad I did. It is clean, bright and airy, the front desk staff are kind and extremely helpful, and I love my hygienist. Even after I moved out of Ballard I kept going because of how great they are. Can't say enough good things.
Very knowledgeable and informative staff.
I've never had a bad experience at Ballard Dental Arts! Excellent cleaning and consulting! Plus everyone is so friendly and makes going to the dentist easy and painless!
Everyone is very gentle and thorough. All of my questions were answered without judgement and with kindness.
Sam was pleasant efficient and so competent. The doctor was clear friendly and excellent. Travis was very polite.
had delta dental as most do in WA state, and found Ballard Dental Arts through a family member who was a patient here for the last few decades.
Needless to say I did not need the referral because the reviews speak for themselves.
