Dental Implants Edmonton

At Dental Design Concepts in Edmonton, we transform smiles with state-of-the-art dental implants that provide a permanent, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Our experienced dental team uses advanced 3D imaging technology to precisely place a biocompatible titanium implant into your jawbone, creating a strong foundation that mimics your natural tooth root.

With our remarkable success rate and decades of combined expertise, we craft custom restorations that not only look indistinguishable from your natural teeth but also function perfectly for eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence.

Natural-looking tooth replacement option

Dental implants are a well-established and proven solution for replacing missing teeth. Made of biocompatible titanium, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone where they fuse with the bone over time. This integrated screw then serves as the foundation for an individual porcelain crown or multiple-tooth bridge. Implants look, feel and function just like natural teeth once the permanent restoration is attached.

INDICATIONS

Dental implants are a good solution for replacing missing teeth

An all-ceramic crown is attached to one dental implant to replace the missing tooth.

Two to four implants are used to secure an all-ceramic bridge. It is not necessary to have one implant for each missing tooth.

Dental implants can be used to retain a removable denture or to secure a fixed full-arch bridge.

Benefits Of Dental Implants At Our Edmonton Clinic

NATURAL LOOK & FEEL

Implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. They allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

PREVENT FURTHER BONE LOSS

Implants prevent the jawbone from deteriorating, preserving the bone for the future.

LONG-LASTING SOLUTION

When properly cared for, dental implants can last 20 years or more.

IMPROVED ORAL HEALTH

Implants don’t require modifications to the neighboring teeth. This preserves healthy teeth and decreases complications.

Our Treatment Process

Consultation

Your experience begins with a dental examination and radiographs at our Edmonton clinic. This initial appointment is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, answer your questions. A fee proposal for the treatment will also be presented.

Surgery

In some cases where bone has resorbed over time, additional bone volume may be required. A graft using donor bone or synthetic bone substitute is completed to augment the site and make it more suitable to place a dental implant. Specialized tools are used to gently insert the implant into the bone. The implants is allowed to heal independently for three to six months to allow the bone to integrate and bond directly to the implant surface through a process known as osseointegration.

Prosthetic Reconstruction

Once integrated, the healing screw is removed and an abutment placed. The final crown, bridge or denture is fabricated and secured to the abutment to complete the tooth replacement process.

Our Treatment Process

The process of getting a dental implant typically involves the following steps:

Consultation

Your experience begins with a dental examination and radiographs. This initial appointment is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, answer your questions. A fee proposal for the treatment will also be presented.

Implant Placement Surgery

The implant placement surgery, performed under local anesthesia, involves creating precise openings in the jawbone to carefully place titanium implant post(s). A healing period is required for the implants to integrate with the surrounding bone.

Abutment Attachment

Once the implants have successfully fused with the jawbone (typically 3-6 months), you'll return for a second minor procedure to attach the abutments - small connector posts that protrude through the gum line and serve as the foundation for your final restoration.

Final Restoration Placement

After the abutments are in place, we'll take impressions and precise measurements to create your custom-made restoration(s) - crowns, bridges, or dentures, meticulously crafted to match your natural teeth for an aesthetic and functional result, depending on your specific needs.

Experience the difference at Dental Design Concepts

All treatment will be completed by a Prosthodontist. As a specialist in dental prosthetics we do not do fillings, surgery, root canal treatment or orthodontics. Our mindset, clinical practice and time spent on continuing education is dedicated exclusively to prosthodontics. Prosthodontics is our passion.

All restorations are manufactured in our in-house dental laboratory. We limit the number of units completed in our laboratory to ensure that our dental technicians have the time and attention required to fabricate your implant restorations to the highest quality. It is our belief that detailed execution and customization can only be achieved in an environment with such intimate collaboration.

Frequently asked questions

HOW LONG DO DENTAL IMPLANTS LAST?

When cared for properly, dental implants can function for 10-20+ years on average. Proper hygiene and
regular maintenance visits help ensure longevity.

WHAT MAINTENANCE IS INVOLVED?

Meticulous home care is required including brushing and flossing. Electric tooth brushes and water flossers are good aids in keeping the implants and surrounding gum tissue healthy. Routine check-ups are recommended to monitor for infections and bone levels around the implants.

WILL I LOOK LIKE I HAVE IMPLANTS?

The most difficult component cosmetically is to have the gum tissue look the same around the implant as
it does on the adjacent teeth. This will vary depending on the amount of bone and soft tissue available
and the position of the dental implant. A key factor on how natural an implant looks is related to treatment
planning and execution skills of the Prosthodontist.

CAN I EAT ANYTHING WITH IMPLANTS?

Once fully healed, implant allow enjoyment of all foods. Implants are strong and rigid. However, biting
too hard on hard objects or heavy clenching or grinding can cause the porcelain on the restoration to
fracture, the restoration to come loose or even the dental implant to fail. These are not common events
but are possibilities.
