Dental Implants in Vancouver
Single Dental Implants
If you’ve lost a single tooth due to decay, trauma, or gum disease, a single dental implant can restore both aesthetics and function. The titanium implant integrates with your jawbone and is topped with a custom-made crown that blends perfectly with your natural teeth.
Multiple Implants & Implant-Supported Bridges
Dr. Entezarion can address multiple missing teeth with individual implants or by using two implants to anchor a bridge for a series of adjacent gaps. The crowns attached to these implants will both look and feel natural, enhancing your ability to chew, smile, and speak with renewed confidence, effectively concealing any previous dental gaps.
01
Comfortable and Durable
Dental implants are integrated into your jawbone, acting as the root of your tooth, which makes them comfortable and secure. With proper care, they can last a lifetime.
03
Enhanced Appearance
Implants help maintain your jawbone and prevent bone loss, supporting your facial structure and reducing sagging, thus preserving your youthful appearance.
02
Restored Function
Implants provide a stable base for replacement teeth, which look, feel, and function almost like your natural teeth, enhancing strength and reliability.
Advantage of Dental Implants
Our Advanced Dental Implants Process
01. Consultation
We start with a thorough oral exam and digital imaging to evaluate your jawbone density and overall oral health. We’ll answer your questions and determine if you need a bone graft before the implant.
02. Digital Planning & 3D Modeling
Using cutting-edge 3D software, we create a custom treatment plan. This model ensures accurate implant positioning, reducing risks and improving outcomes.
03. Implant Placement
Dr. Entezarion uses a precision surgical guide to place the implant into your jawbone. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation dentistry to ensure comfort.
04. Healing & Osseointegration
A healing period of about 4 months is typically required for the implant to fuse with your jawbone, ensuring long-term stability. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and support a smooth recovery.
05. Abutment & Restoration
Once healing is complete, a custom-made crown is fitted on top of the implant to match your natural teeth seamlessly, restoring both function and aesthetics.
06. Final Fitting & Follow-Up Care
Our team ensures your crown fits comfortably and provides aftercare instructions for lasting success. Regular check-ups help maintain your smile’s health and appearance.
FAQ
The dental implant journey usually lasts four to eight months. It begins with the removal of any damaged or diseased teeth, and potentially a bone graft if the jawbone lacks adequate support. Once healed, the implant placement procedure is performed, often under sedation for comfort. A titanium screw is precisely placed in the jawbone, guided by 3D treatment planning. After a healing period for osseointegration, a permanent crown is crafted from digital impressions and attached to the implant, completing the restoration.
The idea of dental implant surgery might seem daunting, but it is actually quite painless. You won’t feel any discomfort during the procedure due to the local anesthesia, and sedation options are available if needed. After the procedure, any slight soreness that occurs is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter medications. Dr. Reza Entezarion provides detailed instructions for post-operative care to ease any discomfort and swelling, enabling most patients to resume work within just a day or two
If a permanent tooth isn’t replaced, several problems can occur:
-
Remaining teeth can shift, leading to misalignment and bite issues.
-
Your smile’s appearance may suffer, affecting your confidence.
-
Biting and chewing become more difficult.
-
Speech may be impacted.
-
Other teeth endure more pressure, leading to uneven wear and potential further tooth loss.
-
The jawbone where the tooth was can deteriorate, affecting nearby teeth and altering facial structure, potentially making you look older. This bone loss can occur even with dentures or bridges.
-
Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including a high success rate and the ability to function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat freely and smile confidently. They blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, requiring no special care.
Additional advantages include:
-
Stability without slipping or noise, unlike dentures.
-
No need to modify adjacent healthy teeth as with bridges.
-
Comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.
-
Long-lasting, durable, and strong.
-
Maintain tooth alignment and jawbone health, preventing bone loss and facial sagging, contributing to overall oral health.
-
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into your jawbone. Over time, they fuse with the bone, creating a stable base for a crown or bridge that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more. Many patients enjoy their implants for life with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
