What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it integrates with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached on top, creating a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural one. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are a permanent solution that do not require adhesives or rely on neighbouring teeth for support. They are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement in modern dentistry.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Natural Look and Feel
They are designed to match the colour, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. Most people cannot tell the difference between an implant and a natural tooth. Because the implant is anchored in the jawbone, it also feels completely stable when you eat, speak, or smile.
Long-Term Durability
With proper care, they can last a lifetime. The titanium post fuses permanently with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, making it one of the most durable tooth replacement options available. The crown on top may need to be replaced after many years but the implant itself is built to last.
Supports Jaw Health
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it begins to deteriorate over time. The implant stimulates the bone just like a natural tooth root, preventing the bone loss that typically follows tooth extraction. This helps maintain the shape of your face and the health of your surrounding teeth.
No Impact on Surrounding Teeth
Unlike a dental bridge, which requires filing down the teeth on either side to support the restoration, the implant stands completely on its own. Your healthy neighbouring teeth remain untouched, preserving their natural structure.
The Dental Implant Process
Consultation and Planning
Your implant journey begins with a thorough consultation at our Downtown Vancouver clinic. Dr. Tehrani will assess your oral health, review your dental X-rays, and determine whether you are a suitable candidate for implants. We will discuss your goals, timeline, and what to expect at every stage of the process.
Implant Placement
The titanium post is carefully placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Most patients find the procedure much more comfortable than they anticipated. After placement, a healing period of several weeks allows the implant to fuse with the bone before the next stage begins.
Abutment and Crown Placement
Once the implant has integrated successfully, an abutment is attached to connect the implant to the final crown. The custom crown is matched precisely to your surrounding teeth in colour, shape, and size. The result is a natural-looking, fully functional tooth that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Most adults with good general health and sufficient jawbone density are suitable candidates for dental implants. The best way to find out if implants are right for you is to book a consultation with Dr. Tehrani at our Downtown Vancouver clinic. During your visit we will assess your oral health, discuss your options, and give you a clear recommendation based on your individual situation.
