If you are considering dental implants near you, our experienced dentists will ensure your implant experience is personalized, comfortable, and successful.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small metal post that is inserted into your jawbone. It acts as a new root of a tooth. Once the implant has healed in your jaw, we will put a crown (artificial tooth) on top of the implant, giving you a tooth that will stay in place for many years.
Because implants are not removable, they are much better than dentures, as they will not slip. You can eat your favourite foods without worry. Implants also help to preserve your jawbone health and density.
When Does a Dentist Recommend Dental Implants?
Our dentist may recommend dental implants in Downtown Edmonton if you meet these conditions:
You have one or more missing teeth.
You have healthy gums with sufficient jawbone for an implant.
You have difficulty wearing dentures, or you are dissatisfied with them.
You are seeking long-term, natural-looking tooth replacement.
Advantages of Getting Dental Implants
Implants are long-lasting and may last 20+ years.
Implants blend seamlessly with natural teeth and have a discreet appearance.
Implants are easy to care for: brush and floss as usual.
Implants strengthen the jawbone, preventing bone loss.
Implants are strong; they allow you to eat most foods confidently.
Implants do not need any modification of healthy teeth.
The Implant Process
Our dentist in Downtown Edmonton takes X-rays and examines your jawbone to make sure it is ready for an implant.
We will numb your mouth so that you feel comfortable. Our dentist will place the metal post inside your jaw. Most patients describe the experience as similar to receiving a regular filling.
Your jawbone will grow around the implant. This normally takes 3–6 months. The implant will become a part of the jawbone.
After it has healed, we will attach a connector (the metal post connected to the tooth) and then place the new crown on the tooth. We will match the shade to your existing teeth.
We will follow up to check how the implant looks and works, and to check in with you to see if you are happy with your new tooth.

FAQs
Does it hurt to get an implant?
We will use numbing medicine so you won’t feel any pain when we place the implant during the implant appointment. After it is placed, you may experience some tenderness, similar to when you have a tooth extracted, and we provide pain medication to take afterward if you have any discomfort.
How long do dental implants last?
If you care for the implant properly, it could last 20 years or longer. Many people will have the implant for their lifetime. Just brush twice a day, and come to see us periodically to check the implant.
Can anyone get dental implants?
The one criterion is that you are an adult. The second criterion is that you need adequate jawbone and healthy gums. We will check for those criteria during your first visit to determine whether dental implants are a good treatment option for you.
How much do dental implants cost?
Cost depends on how many teeth you are trying to replace. The number of implants will vary depending on whether the tooth can be replaced with an implant in the upper or lower jaw. We would provide a clear price when we consult with you at your first visit. Most insurance plans will provide some coverage for dental implants.
What if I don't have adequate bone?
Sometimes the dentist can do a bone graft first. The graft helps to build up enough bone for you. Our dentist near you will discuss all options with you.
