If you’re looking for dental implants in Southeast Edmonton, our expert team is ready to provide you with top-notch care and results.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a modern and effective way to replace missing teeth. They have three main parts:
- Titanium Post. This is a small, screw-like piece that is placed into your jawbone during surgery. Made from titanium, it bonds with the bone through a process called osseointegration.
- Abutment. This piece connects the titanium post to the final crown. It acts as a base for the crown and ensures it fits correctly.
- Crown. This is the part of the implant that looks like a real tooth. It’s made from materials like porcelain or ceramic to match your natural teeth.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants have several advantages:
- Natural Look and Feel. Implants look and feel like real teeth, blending in with your smile.
- Better Oral Health. They help keep your jawbone strong and prevent your other teeth from shifting.
- Improved Chewing and Speech. Implants let you eat and speak confidently, just like with natural teeth.
- Long-Lasting. Implants are strong and can last many years, often for a lifetime with proper care.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium, placed into your jawbone. They provide a stable base for replacement teeth or bridges that look and work like real teeth.
Good candidates are generally healthy people with enough jawbone to support the implant. If you have gum disease or other health issues, these may need to be addressed first. We’ll evaluate your situation during your visit to determine if implants are right for you.
The process includes:
- Consultation and Planning: We assess your dental health and create a treatment plan.
- Implant Placement: A titanium post is placed into your jawbone.
- Healing and Osseointegration: The implant bonds with the bone over several months.
Abutment and Crown Placement: After healing, we place the abutment and attach the custom crown.
The entire process usually takes several months from placing the implant to fitting the final crown. This includes time for healing and bonding with the bone. We’ll discuss your specific timeline during your consultation.
With proper care, dental implants can last many years, often for a lifetime. Regular oral hygiene and dental visits help maintain their longevity.
