Single Dental Implants in East Vancouver
Are you living with a compromised or missing tooth? This can be challenging when it’s time to comfortably chew your food, which can impact your diet and nutrition. It may also feel difficult to confidently talk with other people when you have gaps in your smile, which could affect your personal or professional relationships.
At Alta Dental Studio, we offer solutions for missing teeth with dental implants. Implants are the closest you can get to a natural tooth since they replace your root and tooth.
Dr. Jason Liu can guide you through the process of getting a dental implant in Vancouver from start to finish at our dental clinic, ensuring you have the confidence and peace of mind working with the team you already know and trust.

What to Expect When You Get Dental Implants in Vancouver
If you move forward with dental implants, there are several steps involved:
- 3-D Imaging and Planning — We use 3-D cone beam imaging to plan the precise placement of your dental implant. This image-guided approach provides the utmost precision and accuracy in your dental implant treatment.
- Implant Placement — On the scheduled day, Dr. Liu places the implant in your jaw during a procedure at our dental clinic. The area around the tooth is always thoroughly numbed before placement. Recovery is also relatively quick, provided you follow all aftercare instructions.
- Healing and Integration — We leave the implant post to heal over several months until it integrates with your jawbone. This creates a strong and durable support system for your dental crown or prosthetic.
- Restoration and Final Results — After healing, we attach a crown, bridge, or denture to restore function and appearance. From there, you are free to indulge in your favourite foods and smile with confidence again.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
The first step in learning what’s possible for your smile is to book an evaluation with one of our dentists. They will gather information with x-rays, photos, a thorough health history review, and 3-D imaging to determine the next steps for your smile. You’ll leave your consultation with a clear understanding of your treatment needs, the timeline for completing treatment, and your out-of-pocket costs.
