Dental Implants in Edmonton

Dental implants at Uptown Dental Centre in Edmonton are an effective long-term solution for patients who suffer from chronic dental problems such as missing or un-restorable teeth. Dental implants comprise a permanent base implanted into the patient’s jaw bone to which replacement teeth are attached. They are made to look, feel, fit, and function like your natural teeth. Due to their natural look and functionality, dental implants are quickly becoming the new standard in tooth replacement. Dental implants typically have three parts:

Implant – A titanium screw that permanently attaches to your jaw and serves as a root for your prosthetic teeth.
Abutment – A permanent connector that supports and holds a tooth or set of teeth.
Crown (prosthetic tooth) – The crown is usually made of porcelain for durability and a natural look.

Live and Smile Happily With Dental Implants

Medical-grade titanium posts fixed to the jaw make dental implants feel completely comfortable and secure, without the slippage or movement that can sometimes happen with dentures. Over time, the implant actually fuses to the living bone cells of the jaw forming a strong and durable anchor for your new teeth. Thus, allowing dental implant patients to eat, drink and play freely with no need for regular repairs or worries about smiling openly, and often!
