Implant Dentists in Alberta
Missing teeth can jeopardize your oral health, comfort, and your self-esteem. But who wants to deal with bulky, uncomfortable replacement teeth? At Tooth Works, we offer implant dentistry Edmonton, a natural-looking, comfortable alternative to traditional bridges, partials, and dentures.
What are dental implants?
Alberta Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that an oral surgeon places into the jawbone. They’re made from biocompatible titanium, to which the jawbone fuses. This creates a stable, permanent foundation for a custom crown, bridge, partial, or denture.
What if I’m missing more than one tooth?
Implant dentistry is a service to replace single tooth, a few teeth, or all of the teeth. For one tooth, the dentist will secure a custom crown on top of the implant post. If you’re missing a few or all of your teeth, the surgeon will strategically place a few dental implants to anchor your bridge, partial, or denture. The Edmonton dentist and surgeon will determine the number of dental implants that you receive based on your bone density, soft tissues, medical status, and other factors.
How long do dental implants last?
Unlike bridges, partials, and dentures, which need to be replaced every 7 to 10 years, dental implants will last most people for a lifetime. Over the past 25 years, dental implants have been successful in 95% of patients. Care for your implants with thorough brushing and flossing and regular dental exams.
Call Tooth Works today to reserve your dental implant consultation with Dr. Withanachchi, Dr. Wallington, or Dr. Shewchuk. We are conveniently located in downtown Edmonton one block away from the Corona and Grandin LRT stops.
