However, it is possible to replace your missing natural teeth with permanent and secure artificial teeth that look and feel real. Through dental implants, Artis Dental Centre can give you a smile that doesn’t restrict your diet or change the way you speak the way dentures sometimes do at our New Westminster, BC, V3L 3B9 location.

How Do Dental Implants Work?

Our dental office provides dental implants in New Westminster, BC, V3L 3B9 that work very similarly to natural teeth. The implants themselves are installed in your jaw bone, where they heal and integrate like the root of a natural tooth. Once healing is complete, the implants are fitted with crowns or bridges to give you the function and appearance of natural teeth.

The Implantation Process

The implantation process requires time, attention, and patience. It’s important that your mouth is given time to properly heal and accept the implants. That is why dental implants usually require at least 3 appointments at our New Westminster, BC, V3L 3B9 dental office.

The Consultation

Before we install implants, we will need to thoroughly examine your mouth and jaw to ensure you have enough bone tissue to support the implants. During the consultation, we will walk you through what you can expect from your implants, talk about healing time and care instructions, and answer any questions you might have. If you are a good candidate for dental implants, we will schedule an appointment to place the implants.

The Implants

Before installing your implants, we will administer some local anesthesia to prevent discomfort. Once the area is numb, we will start implantation. Each implant will be placed directly into your jaw bone. As you heal over the next few weeks, your bone tissue will integrate with the implants, stabilizing them and allowing them to mirror the function of your natural teeth’s roots.

The Artificial Teeth

Once your implants are fully healed, we will finish the installation process by covering the exposed pieces of the implants with individual crowns or a bridge of artificial teeth. Because the implants have healed into the jaw bone, your artificial teeth will have the stability you need to eat all sorts of food without losing teeth.
