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. Soundview Dental Arts is Tacoma’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
BENEFITS OF IMPLANTS
Implants vs Bridges – Who Wins?
You always have options for different kinds of treatment. We will, of course, present you with an ideal option, but we will do our best to find other more economical ways to help you achieve your goals. Here is how dental 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%
I was referred here by a friend several years ago. The dental work is a 10 out of 10. The best part is that they make you feel like family.

I actually enjoy going to the dentist here. Dr Whalen is engaging and always stops in to say hi. My hygeniest is top notch and is always concerned for my dental health. Thank you to the front desk for the appointment reminders and curteous care.

Raise your hand if you're afraid of going to the dentist?Yeah, me too.But the minute I walked into Soundview Dental Arts, all of my fears subsided with the amazing and compassionate care from Dr. Winskill and the rest of the Soundview crew.Oh, and let's not forget the stunning views of Puget Sound that are panoramically placed front of you.

He’s the best in the Northwest! I hated going to the dentist because of childhood trauma associated with dental visits. I was referred by a friend that he was great and I can testify that he is great. He’s entire crew is! No judgement all remarks or unnecessary treatments, just what you need. If you don’t want to take out your wisdom teeth and they are healthy, you don’t have to be pressured to take them out unless you have to. Love love love you Dr Winskill 🤗

Years ago I used a dentist that basically did horrible work and as a result most of what he did has been redone. I've been going to Dr Winskill for the last 11 years. His work is second to none. As a result, I have sent him several referrals and they continue to be his patients. One of his hygienists, Elaine, is very skilled and does a great job cleaning my teeth. I highly recommend Dr Winskill and his staff.
