What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a replacement for a missing tooth root, crafted from titanium and made to be compatible with the jaw bone. After implant placement and a short healing period, a new dental crown restoration can be attached to seal the implant and offer a permanent, durable, natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
Implants are known for their ultra-secure fit, allowing for unrestricted eating and complete function for your smile. For our patients missing one tooth, several teeth, or an entire set, dental implants are the top choice among tooth loss patients. Implants also stimulate jawbone growth, making them the healthiest tooth replacement solution available.
What Type of Dental Implant Do I Need?
Our dental implant systems in South Edmonton include:
Dental Implants
Single dental implants replace the entire affected tooth, including its root. Each single implant is completed and sealed with a custom-shaded dental crown designed to fit seamlessly with the rest of your natural teeth.
Implant Supported Bridges
Implant-supported bridges offer an exceptional solution for replacing multiple teeth in a row. By anchoring dental implants on both sides of the gap, they efficiently restore full chewing function, maintain the natural look of your smile, and contribute to the oral health of your dental structure.
Implant-Retained Dentures
Suitable for complete arch replacement or improving the fit of existing dentures, these dentures attach securely to implants, promoting stability and bone retention. Implant-retained dentures offer a healthier alternative to traditional dentures, as their snug fit supports healthy bone retention. Similar to traditional dentures, they are removable and require daily care.
Do I Have Enough Bone?
A certain level of jaw bone structure is needed when placing implants to ensure proper integration of your dental implant. We will take a CBCT scan and assess the quality and quantity of your bone to determine whether an implant placement is possible. If our team finds there is an inadequate amount of bone, we may recommend a bone graft surgery prior to implant placement.
