Implants

At Laurel Dental, we provide a Free Consultation for dental implants at our office in Southeast Edmonton. We take the time to explain the procedure and what it involves. If an implant procedure is right for you, we begin by constructing a 3D image of your jaw using our Cone Beam CT Scan, which allows us to do a virtual implant placement before we do the surgery. This demonstration will help you visualize the final result of the crown and implant in your own mouth. We're pleased to offer dental implants pricing in line with the Alberta Dental Fee Guide.

Dental implants are indicated when there is one or more missing teeth, and are the nearest replacement match for natural teeth. Implants are designed to replace the root of a missing tooth and can be used to support crowns, bridges, or dentures.

The root-form implant is the most common type and consists of three main components:

Implant screw – This part of the implant is made of titanium and is surgically placed in the bone. Titanium is accepted by the body extremely well and fuses with the bone (called osseointegration) during the healing process.
Abutment – This is a metal collar that attaches to the top of the implant screw and is the base for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Crown - The crown is the manufactured tooth that fits on top of the abutment. Bridges and dentures can also be secured to the abutment. The placement of the crown, bridge, or denture is the final step of the implant process.

Dental implants can also help those with ill-fitting dentures. Generally, 4 to 6 implants are needed to support a complete denture. The result is a more stable denture that won’t move or fall out while you are eating or speaking.

Our helpful staff will assist you in sending the proper estimates to your insurance policy in order to assess eligibility. Call us or click here to request your free consultation at our office in Southeast Edmonton.
