WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Restoring function back to your smile.
Dental implants have become the preferred standard of care when replacing missing, damaged, or deformed teeth. Safe Harbor Smiles is Bremerton’s top choice for dental implants. 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. 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
