Rebuild Your Smile with Reliable and Predictable Dental Implants
If you are missing one or multiple teeth, you are all too familiar with the diminished ability to chew food. You may also avoid smiling or talking because of insecurity with your mouth gaps. Don’t spend another day struggling with missing teeth. Dental implants in Surrey, British Columbia, offer a permanent solution for missing teeth. No matter the number of teeth you have lost, Surrey Place Dental Group can bring back your smile and confidence with our dental implant options.
How many teeth can dental implants replace?
Dental implants are a versatile solution for missing teeth. We can pair dental implants with crowns, bridges, and dentures to provide a solution for every smile.
The available dental implant solutions include:
- A single implant: We can replace an individual tooth by combining a dental implant and a crown. The dentist places a titanium post at the ridge that once supported your tooth. Then, we top off your implant with a customized, natural-looking crown.
- Implant-supported bridge: Are you missing a few teeth in one area? We can restore your smile with an implant bridge. Unlike traditional dental bridges, an implant-supported bridge is anchored directly into the jawbone, eliminating the need to modify healthy neighbouring teeth. Â
- Implant-supported dentures: We can provide full mouth restoration with only four dental implants per arch. Unlike old-fashioned dentures, implant dentures offer unparalleled stability and prevent bone loss to some extent.
How are dental implants placed?
At Surrey Place Dental Group, communication is the pillar of our excellent dental care. During your implant consultation, we’ll discuss your struggles and your realistic expectations with dental implants. Then, we’ll use digital X-rays, scans, and photos to examine your oral health, including your jawbone quality. We’ll let you know if dental implants are a good option and if you need adjunct procedures like extractions or bone grafting to ensure an ideal outcome.
The rest of your procedure involves:
- Implant surgery: On the day of surgery, we’ll provide the right anesthetics and sedation to maximize your comfort. Then, our dentist will place the titanium post in the jawbone with utmost precision. We will position the implant optimally while avoiding damage to nearby nerves and sinuses. After your treatment, we will provide detailed instructions to ensure seamless recovery.
- Healing: Your implant will integrate with the jawbone over the next 4-6 months. During that time, the dentist may restore your implant with a temporary prosthesis to ensure you live your life with minimal disruptions.
- Restoration: Once your implant fully heals, you will return to our office, where we will attach a small metal connector (abutment). This minor surgery needs about two weeks to heal. Finally, we’ll restore your implant with a beautiful restoration crafted from high-quality materials. That’s it! You can now enjoy your dream smile for a lifetime!
Although dental implants have a higher initial cost, they are worth their value. Dental implants last several decades and look like natural teeth. Implants also preserve the jawbone and provide incredible stability when eating and smiling.
