Dental Implants in Surrey, BC | Restore Your Smile
Permanent Solutions for Missing Teeth
Losing a tooth can affect more than just your appearance; it impacts your ability to chew, speak clearly, and feel confident in social situations. At Canary Dental Clinic in Surrey, we offer Dental Implants—the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Implants look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone. It acts as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant integrates with your bone (a process called osseointegration), a custom-made, highly aesthetic dental crown is attached to the top. The result is a seamless, permanent replacement tooth.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Preserves Bone Health: Unlike dentures or bridges, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving your facial structure.
- Does Not Damage Adjacent Teeth: A traditional bridge requires grinding down healthy neighboring teeth. Implants are standalone restorations.
- Long-Lasting: With proper dental hygiene, an implant can last a lifetime.
- Natural Feel: You can eat your favorite foods without worrying about slipping dentures.
The Implant Process at Canary Dental
- Comprehensive Consultation: We take 3D scans of your jaw to assess bone volume and plan the exact placement of the implant.
- Surgical Placement: The titanium post is gently placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. (If bone grafting is needed, we will discuss this beforehand).
- Healing Period: We wait 3-6 months for the implant to securely fuse with your bone.
- Final Crown Placement: A custom-matched ceramic crown is permanently attached, completing your new smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report that the implant procedure is much less uncomfortable than a tooth extraction. We use profound local anesthesia, and any post-operative discomfort is usually managed easily with over-the-counter pain medication.
Does insurance or CDCP cover dental implants?
Dental implants are generally considered a premium restorative option. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) currently does not cover dental implants. Many private insurances may cover the crown portion, but rarely the surgical implant. We offer transparent pricing and financing options to help make this life-changing treatment accessible.
