Considering tooth replacement is a big decision. At Alta Dental Studio, we help our patients make educated and informed decisions about their dental care; tooth replacement is no exception! Today, we'll discuss the innovations and technology behind dental implants in Vancouver so you can understand how they might benefit your smile and dental health.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
A dental implant requires three parts to replace your tooth: the implant post, the abutment, and the restoration. Your trusted Vancouver dentist at Alta Dental Studio carefully places the implant into your jawbone during surgery. Since it's made of biocompatible titanium, it heals and integrates with your bone over time.
Depending on your needs, the restoration for your implant might be a custom porcelain crown if you're replacing one tooth. It might also be a bridge or denture that two to six implants can support.
State-of-the-Art Technology at Alta Dental Studio
Our dentists have equipped our Vancouver dental clinic with the advanced technology needed to achieve exceptional outcomes for implant patients. 3-D Cone Beam imaging provides advanced 3-D images of your teeth and jawbone so our dentists can plan your implant placement procedure ahead of time and use the imaging for guidance during surgery. This ensures precision placement that achieves exceptional results and a 95 percent success rate.
Digital impressions allow us to create custom restorations with more accurate fit and shading for outstanding aesthetics. Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, helps accelerate healing after implant placement and minimizes the chances of the patient developing an infection using the patient's own stem cells for optimal healing.
