Dental Implants
in Vancouver
Replace missing teeth with confidence. Aarm Dental Group's dental implants offer a durable, natural-looking solution that lets you bite, chew, and smile
without worry.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants replace missing or extracted teeth, or damaged tooth roots, with titanium posts inserted directly into the jawbone. Over time, the jawbone heals around the post, anchoring it securely and creating a strong, stable foundation for a replacement tooth.
What the treatment involves
Treatment often begins with extracting a failing tooth, followed by placing the titanium post into the jawbone. In some cases, additional procedures, such as bone grafting to build up the tooth socket, may be needed first to support a better long-term outcome.
Depending on your situation, an "immediate crown" may be placed on the implant right away, or the implant may be left to heal for three to six months, allowing it to fully fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. During healing, a protective cap is placed over the implant. Once it's stable and strong, the healing cap is removed and replaced with the permanent tooth structure and crown.
What to expect
The result is a tooth, or denture, that looks natural, fits securely, and functions like your own. Patients can bite and chew without pain, and many find their smile, and their confidence, fully restored. For denture wearers, implants offer significantly improved stability and comfort in everyday use.
Who’s a good candidate?
Implants are ideal for patients who've lost a tooth and want to restore the gap without altering the surrounding teeth, unlike a bridge, which requires preparing the teeth on either side of the gap. Implants are also a great option for denture wearers whose dentures no longer fit well, allowing for a stronger bite and a more secure, comfortable fit that won't shift or float in the mouth.
