What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a state-of-the-art solution designed to replace missing teeth effectively. These innovative implants replicate the natural structure of tooth roots with precision. Doing so, they establish a secure and dependable foundation for various dental restoration options, including single-tooth replacements, multiple teeth restorations, dentures, and even bone grafting procedures. Dental implants provide a permanent and lifelike answer to tooth loss, restoring not only the aesthetics of your smile but also the functionality and comfort you deserve.

The Dental Implant Procedure: Step by Step

The dental implant procedure is a well-coordinated process that guarantees a seamless transition to your new smile. Here's a breakdown of the journey:

01
Initial Assessment

The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health, including examining your jawbone's density and structure. This assessment helps determine the suitability of dental implants for your specific needs.

02
Implant Placement

During the surgery, a biocompatible titanium post is meticulously placed into the jawbone. This post serves as the foundation for your future tooth replacement. Local anesthesia ensures your comfort throughout the procedure.

03
Osseointegration

Over the following weeks or months, the magic of osseointegration occurs. The titanium post integrates with your jawbone, creating a secure and stable anchor for the replacement tooth.

04
Abutment Attachment

Once osseointegration is complete, a connector piece known as an abutment is attached to the implant. This abutment acts as a bridge between the implant and the final restoration.

05
Custom Crown Placement

A custom-made crown is crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. This crown is then securely affixed to the abutment, delivering a natural-looking, fully functional replacement tooth.

06
Recovery and Follow-Up

After the procedure, a period of healing is allowed for your gums to adjust and the implant to fully integrate. Our attentive team will provide guidance for a smooth recovery and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure everything is progressing as planned.

Finding the Right Dental Implant Provider in Edmonton

A dental implant is an intricate procedure that only a trained and experienced dentist can deliver. While a general dentist can get the job done, it's always better to get treated by a dentist specializing in dental implants. Once the procedure is done, aftercare is also something that the dental clinic must deliver. You can't just visit any regular clinic for your implant procedure, but rather consider some crucial points to find the best clinic for your dental worries.

  • Your go-to dentist can recommend and refer you to the best dental implant provider in Edmonton for professional service.
  • When you've narrowed down the dental clinics for your treatment, look for validation and reviews from past clients to get a sense of their overall experience and patient feedback.
  • Another important aspect is to compare the cost of the treatment offered by the dental provider. Compare the cost and service quality and select the best match for you.
  • Ensure that your dental clinic is conscious about hygiene and using the latest dental implant technologies and tools.
  • Your dental team and the aftercare services they provide are equally important. Choose the provider you feel comfortable with, and also make sure that they provide aftercare, like regular checkups and maintenance.
