WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Restoring function back to your smile
Dental implants have become the preferred standard of care for replacing missing, damaged, or deformed teeth. Furthermore, Laurel Dental Clinic is recognized as Port Angeles’s top choice for dental implants. In fact, we utilize the latest in guided implant technology, including a Cone Beam CT scanner, to ensure precision and effectiveness.
Essentially, implants are titanium posts that are surgically inserted into your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Additionally, they can be used in various 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

- 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%
