Coquitlam Dental Implant Specialists
Dental Implant Procedure
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth. When completed, a dental implant will look and feel like a natural tooth. The benefit of using dental teeth implants is that they don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support and they are permanent and stable. Cosmetic dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.
With a dental implant you can:
- Replace a Single Tooth
If you are missing a single tooth, one implant and a crown can replace it. - Replace Several Teeth
If you are missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them. - Replace All of Your Teeth
If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported full bridge or full denture can replace them.
There are commonly three parts to what is described as an implant
- The implant device itself (which is inserted directly into the bone)
- The abutment – the piece that connects the implant device to the final restoration.
- The final restoration – the overlying crown, bridge or denture
Why a dental implant?
Dental implants provide:
- Support for your jaw: When teeth are missing the jaw bone in that area decreases. A dental implant bridge helps maintain and support that bone.
- Enhance function: Missing teeth prevent the jaw from making proper chewing motions. Over time, improper jaw function can lead to further complications of the jaw, such as TMJ.
- Re-establish a natural look to your smile.
How long will it take to finish my implant?
The length of treatment time varies according to your specific needs and your oral health. There are different phases of implant treatment and each one is reliant upon your ability to heal, how much bone you have in the mouth, the health of your surrounding teeth and gums, your finances and the extent of treatment that you desire. Dr. Vaida will create a treatment plan tailored to meet your specific dental needs.
How much does a tooth implant cost?
We treat each implant case individually and therefore the cost depends on what is needed after Dr. Vaida has evaluated your oral health and the area needing the dental implant.
