Dental Implants

Pacific Smiles Dental offers patients cosmetic dental treatments to replace lost or missing teeth with dental implants, the proven long-term solution for functionality and appearance.

Dental implants can be thought of as artificial roots that are securely anchored in the jaw. They are cylindrical devices made of medical grade titanium which are placed in the site of a missing tooth or teeth where they biologically bond with the bone and are capped with a ceramic crown that matches existing teeth.

Dental implants are now widely used to:

  • Replace a single tooth (or many single teeth using one implant per tooth) with a ceramic crown secured to the top of the implant to give the appearance and function of a natural tooth.
  • Secure a full or partial implant supported ceramic fixed bridge.
  • Retain removable dentures to prevent movement and dramatically improve the stability

In experienced hands, dental implant surgery is now a routine and very successful dental procedure and is considered the best way to effectively replace missing teeth. Dental implants allow patients to regain what they have lost and enjoy improved appearance, function and quality of life. Dental implants provide ‘new teeth’ for people who have lost natural adult teeth.

You can make an appointment with one of the dentists at Pacific Smiles Dental for an implant consultation and written treatment plan or you can request a referral from your usual dentist.

Bridges Dental Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth, improve chewing ability, maintain facial structure, and prevent teeth from shifting when gaps are left by missing teeth. Usually, a bridge replaces just one tooth, but can be used to replace multiple teeth depending on oral health and where the gap is located. Custom-made to blend in with the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth. Requires reduction of adjacent teeth. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental bridges can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or even longer. Bridges generally require two appointments. The teeth adjacent to the gap are prepared by removing a small portion of enamel. The permanent bridge is then fitted and adjusted before it is cemented into place. There are several types of bridges made up of crowns, porcelain frameworks and bonding. Your dentist will be able to determine the right option for you.
