Affordable Dental Implants in Edmonton

Your Solution to Missing Teeth

Whether you are suffering from tooth loss, tooth decay, gum disease or an injury, dental implants are a comfortable and permanent way to regain your smile. Implant based dental restorations look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. They can support an active lifestyle and can give you back the quality of life you deserve.

What are the benefits of Dental Implants?

Durability

Dental implants are either made from titanium or zirconium, which are both known for being durable. Thus, with proper and regular care, dental implants will last many years, perhaps even a lifetime.

Improved Ability to Chew and Speak

Removable dentures can slide off when you’re eating and, sometimes, when you’re speaking. But with dental implants surgically placed into your jaw, you gain more tooth stability. In turn, you can chew, eat, and speak better and more comfortably.

Convenience and Natural Look & Feel

Since dental implants are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent. In turn, they eliminate the inconvenience of removing dentures every night, as well as the need for putting messy adhesives to keep them in place.

Adjacent Teeth Are Not Affected

Other tooth replacement options such as dental bridges require grinding down the adjacent teeth so that the bridge can be cemented on them. By contrast, dental implants don’t compromise any adjacent teeth as they are directly placed into the missing tooth’s space.

What exactly is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is essentially a replacement tooth root. Most often, dental implants replace missing teeth that have been lost to decay or injury. The most common treatment is the root form implant. There are three components of a root form dental implant: the titanium implant, an abutment, and a crown.

1. Implant screw – This part of the implant is made of titanium and is surgically placed in the bone. Titanium is accepted by the body extremely well and fuses with the bone (called osseointegration) during the healing process.
2. Abutment – This is a metal collar that attaches to the top of the implant screw and is the base for a crown, bridge, or denture.
3. Crown - The crown is the manufactured tooth that fits on top of the abutment. Bridges and dentures can also be secured to the abutment. The placement of the crown, bridge, or denture is the final step of the implant process.
