Do you have one or more missing teeth? Do you feel embarrassed to socialize, have pain, or experience difficulty eating? No matter how many teeth you’re missing, or how much of the jaw bone has resorbed, our Lawrence, KS dentist…Learn more about our dentist… is here to help.
If you’re tired of living with an incomplete smile or wearing ill-fitting dentures, you may benefit from dental implants. They function like natural teeth and are a permanent teeth replacement solution. Dental implants have the power to change your quality of life in more ways than one!
Dental implants replace vital tooth function with a three-part structure: the post (this replaces the natural tooth root), the dental crown (this is the tooth replacement prosthesis), and the abutment (this connects the two). A tooth that has been placed and restored with a dental implant looks, feels, and functions virtually the same as a natural, healthy tooth.
Dr. Ward has a very personal and professional interest in dental implants and all of the procedures associated with them. Having undergone a dental implant treatment himself related to his cleft lip, Dr. Ward is extremely understanding and compassionate about the dental implant process.
His personal experience and interest drove him to pursue additional education and training in implant dentistry in order to offer this life-changing solution at our Lawrence, KS office. He has received implant training from the UMKC AEGD residency program, as well as the Pikos Institute in Florida. Dr. Ward has also completed the necessary requirements to become a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
Using the latest dental technology and equipment (including Cone Beam Computed Tomography, iTero Intraoral Scanning, DTX Implant Software, Osseodensification protocols, and use of surgical guides), we help our patients achieve long-term functional and aesthetic outcomes with permanent dental implants.
Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. Using our systematic approach, we consistently provide patients dental implants that last for many years. The dental implants process is detailed and complex, but through our careful planning and technology-backed treatments, we help patients receive many benefits through permanent tooth replacement.
Benefits of dental implants include:
- Beautiful, attractive, natural-looking artificial teeth
- Strong, durable teeth that function like natural ones
- Restoration of proper biting and chewing power
- Long-term health of teeth, gums, and bone
- Significant increase in confidence and well-being
If you’re concerned about the cost of dental implants or your comfort level during the procedure, please schedule a consultation, and we’ll answer all of your questions.

Implant Services - Single or Multi-Tooth
Dr. Ward offers a complete approach to dental implants in Lawrence, KS.
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that mimics the look, feel, and function of your natural teeth. Implants can restore 98 percent of function, allowing you to eat anything you want while looking completely natural and beautiful.
Using 3D technology, we first take detailed images of your mouth which tells us exactly where the nerves are located and where the best possible location to place your implant(s) is. With this information we then precisely place your implant(s) in the jaw bone using X-Nav guided technology for the best results.
Our team treats each implant case uniquely, guaranteeing your experience is customized and that you feel comfortable throughout.
Full arch dental implants are a life-changing tooth restoration that greatly enhances quality of life by completing your smile. You’ll never have to worry about slipping dentures again with our implant-supported dentures.
Dental implants fuse with the jawbone just like natural teeth, creating a stable foundation for your full arch tooth restoration. The permanent restoration reestablishes a proper bite, helps keep the jawbone healthy, and completes your smile. A full smile with dental implants also enhances a person’s appearance and makes them look more youthful.
Our dentist, Dr. Ward has received advanced training in implant dentistry, tooth extractions, and bone grafting to bring you more convenience under one roof. At Legends Dental, we’ve helped many patients transition to optimal oral health and a lifetime of confidence with the minimally invasive and predictable procedure.
