DENTAL IMPLANTS

At Bay Dental, there are a number of reasons why you may need to think about dental implants. They can be used as a solution for replacing single or multiple missing teeth, as well as for replacing dentures. Anybody who is missing one or more teeth due to injury, illness, age, or cavities may be a candidate for dental implants.

Without the root structure of a natural tooth present, the jawbone can shrink. This shrinking may make your face appear sunken in and older than it is. Also, where there is a missing tooth, the surrounding teeth may shift into the empty space, causing issues with your bite and alignment. The addition of a dental implant will make all the difference for your overall oral health. Typically, it will serve its owner for life.

Our Vancouver dental practice has been supplying dental implants to our downtown community to those who want to improve their smile. When dental implants are used in combination with modern restorative dentistry, their appearance, comfort, and function are very likely to surpass your expectations. You probably won’t even be able to tell them apart from your natural, existing teeth.

We are seriously dedicated to providing our dental implant clients with everything needed to get the gorgeous smile you’ve always wanted. Our team of professionals will work with you to develop a smile that suits you and looks great. After one or two initial appointments to prepare your new teeth, your surgery will happen in just one visit.

Today’s dental implants are made of a surgical-grade titanium, similar to the metal composite used in artificial joint replacement. The procedure starts by surgically placing titanium posts into the jawbone underneath your gums to replace missing or badly damaged teeth. Dental implants function as a substitute for both the tooth and the tooth’s root, which is perfect for allowing you to resume your life with ease. You will be able to eat, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence! A dental implant procedure will certainly have you enjoying your new teeth instantly!

After your procedure is complete, it is typical to have some slight bruising and swelling in the gum and soft tissues. But normally the pain, if any, is treated with a regular pain reliever. You can expect to resume your daily activities and be back able to work the next day.

When discovering if you’re a candidate for dental implants at Bay Dental, some determining factors include the amount of available bone, your health status, and much more. Your downtown Vancouver dentist is the best person to examine whether dental implants are a practical option for you or not.

Your new teeth must be looked after and examined regularly, similar to your natural teeth. Brush and floss as advised by your Vancouver dentist or dental hygienist. And don’t forget to schedule your checkup every six months, or as advised.
