High-Quality Natural-Looking Dental Implants in South Surrey / White Rock, BC

DENTAL IMPLANTS

When replacing missing teeth, give your smile a more natural look and feel with dental implants. My Dentist at Morgan Creek team offers dental implants to replace one or more missing teeth. They act as support for crownsbridges, and dentures.

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the roots of a missing tooth. It is placed in the jawbone where teeth are missing and then allowed to heal. As the area heals, the bone grows up and around the implant to create a strong anchor for a replacement tooth.

Dental implants are not exactly a new technology, but their popularity has increased in recent years because of their ability to restore oral health while simultaneously providing a beautiful, natural-looking smile that is also permanent. This page will explain what they do and how they work.

Get in touch with My Dentist at Morgan Creek in South Surrey to discuss if implants are right for you. Good candidates for dental implants need healthy gums and adequate bone support in order to hold the implant. Schedule an appointment for a thorough evaluation today.

More information on dental implants can be found at the Canadian Dental Association’s website.

THE ANATOMY OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

My Dentist at Morgan Creek - Dental Implants Post

Dental Implants 101: The Post

The post is a medical-grade titanium screw that serves as a root for your new teeth. The advantages of medical-grade titanium are that it doesn’t corrode and it has properties that help it fuse permanently with human bones. As an added bonus, modern dental implants now only require four posts to restore an entire arch.

My Dentist at Morgan Creek - Dental Implant Crown

Dental Implants 101: The Crown

The crown is the part of the tooth that you can see. It’s usually made of porcelain and is also fully customizable so you can design your perfect new smile. It’s also strong enough to allow you to bite into an apple or an ear of corn.

My Dentist at Morgan Creek - Dental Implant Abutment

Dental Implants 101: The Abutment

The abutment is what holds the post and crown together. The connection created by the abutment reinforces the post and crown, making them even stronger and permanent (but removable by a doctor). The best part is that these begin supporting your new teeth the same day as your surgery.

TRANSFORMING SMILES WITH DENTAL IMPLANTS

Patients consider dental implants a boon as it helps to get rid of loose ill-fitting dentures, that hinder chewing, talking or smiling. The missing teeth lost from gum disease, decay, and injury can be replaced by dental implants. This enhances facial aesthetics and confidence too.

The advancements in dental technology have led to more senior citizens leading active and productive lives, for a few decades. Dental implants are proving to be cost-effective, efficient and safe alternatives to removable, complete or partial dentures.

FINDING A SOLUTION BEGINS WITH INFORMATION

The most important thing you can do for your failing or missing teeth is to understand your condition. When you know your condition, you will know exactly what’s available for you to solve the problem.

At your consultation, you’ll meet with a patient education consultant (PEC), imaging technology expert, and a team of doctors. Our doctor will play a key role in

  1. helping you understand your current dental condition;
  2. developing a personalized treatment plan, and
  3. delivering a fixed cost.

Generally, dental implants are not covered by dental insurance. However, more companies are covering dental implants today than they did ten years ago. In many cases, your insurance can help pay for the teeth that are placed on the dental implants, if not the implants themselves. You can call your dental insurance provider and ask if dental implants are a covered procedure.

Most dental implant procedures involve less discomfort than a tooth extraction. When we see patients for follow up visits, most of them tell us how surprised they were with how little discomfort they had! (TRUE!) Our office is equipped with doctors and a staff trained to safely provide conventional methods of anesthesia as well as a variety of intravenous sedation anesthesia options. Operative procedures will seem both pleasant and brief when effective local and IV anesthesia is chosen.

During the initial healing period, dentures or partials can be worn over the implants while they mature. The temporary teeth will be made prior to the removal of the existing teeth in cases where tooth removal and implant replacement is required.

Yes. In many cases, implants are actually considered stronger than natural teeth and provide full functionality. After treatment, patients will be able to enjoy all of their favorite foods while benefiting from healthy, aesthetically-pleasing prosthetic replacement teeth.

  • Enhanced ability to chew your food.
  • Replace removable full and partial dentures with fixed bridgework.
  • Improved appearance.
  • Increase in self-confidence.
  • Prevent further bone loss.

Implants have been successfully placed since the 1950’s. With ongoing technological advancements and more durable implant materials, ten-year success rates have been reported at 93 percent or better.

Although implant failure is considered rare, it can occur. In these cases, the failed implant can be replaced with another.

Anyone who is healthy enough to undergo a tooth extraction is likely a suitable candidate for dental implants. However, there are certain contraindications that may complicate or prohibit implant treatment. Patients with certain conditions, such as chronic diseases, heavy smoking or alcohol abuse may not be candidates for implants. Your doctor will determine whether or not this treatment is right for you after a complete physical exam and evaluation of your medical history.

No, there are no age restrictions for dental implants.
