Dental Implants in East Vancouver

Dental Implants

Do you have missing teeth in your mouth and you’re not sure what to do? Missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious and affect your ability to chew properly and speak clearly. There are many options to fill gaps between the teeth, but if you’re interested in a long-term solution to tooth loss, consider dental implants.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are actually titanium posts that are fitted into the jaw bone. This screw mimics the function of a tooth root and is designed to hold a fake tooth in place. The fake tooth is a dental crown that is fitted to the post with an abutment and is made from either porcelain or ceramic.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

With proper care, your dental implants can last your entire lifetime. To ensure your implants are in good condition, we recommend visiting your dentist annually so they can check that your implant and crown are secure.  Regular brushing and flossing are also vital to ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy.
