Same-Day Dental Implant Tooth Replacements

To make life simpler for our patients in need of tooth replacement, we offer same-day dental implant in our office.

Dental implant  is the ideal solution to tooth loss. They’re permanent, durable, natural in appearance and function like real teeth. Unlike dentures, there are no messy cleaning products to use or fear of your teeth falling out after crunching into an apple or ear of corn. Just relax, enjoy your favorite foods and display your beautiful smile to the world.

Most significantly, dental implants sustain the jaw bone. When missing teeth fail to be replaced, the jaw bone withers and the structure of the face is altered. This occurs because the jaw needs to anchor teeth in order to remain healthy. Because the implants are secured into the bone, it allows the jaw to serve its purpose and maintain stability. Dental implants restore health, beauty and function to your smile, and we can install them in just one day.

In most dental practices, patients are referred to an outside oral surgeon to undergo the first phase of receiving dental implants. This brief procedure involves placing a small implant, known as the “post,” into the bone. The post serves as the anchor for the artificial tooth. The surgery is simple, but you would still be forced to travel to another practice, meet new doctors and prolong the process of receiving your new teeth.

Things are different at Foothills Dental. We are staffed with dentists who possess the expertise to perform the implant surgery in our office in the Hinton area, as well as install the artificial teeth. This way, you save time and are spared the hassle of visiting a specialist. Both phases are performed in one office visit, allowing you to experience convenient and quality same-day dentistry.

Once the posts are placed in the bone, your dentist will continue the procedure by securing a temporary artificial tooth onto the implant. The temporary restoration is replaced with permanent teeth shortly after.

General dentists who perform the surgical phase of dental implant installation need to have a great deal of training and experience along with the best equipment to ensure a smooth and comfortable procedure. At Foothills Dental, we have a staff that truly cares about your oral health needs and wants to make the experience as comfortable as possible. That’s why we offer personalized care and attention to those considering dental implants.

Depending on periodontal health, dental implants may not be a suitable answer to tooth loss. We would love the opportunity to evaluate your smile, answer any concerns and determine if dental implants could benefit you. To learn more about same-day dental implants in the Hinton area, give us a call today.

To schedule an appointment, call Foothills Dental Centre. Trusted and proudly serving Hinton, Edson, Jasper, Grande Cache, Spruce Grove, Whitecourt and the Drayton Valley.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and also provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures. Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances.

Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or Periodontist – a specialist of the gums and supporting bone. The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile!

Dental implants are very strong, stable, and durable and will last many years, but on occasion, they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.

Reasons for dental implants:

•Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth.

•Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space.

•Restore a patient’s confident smile.

•Restore chewing, speech, and digestion.

•Restore or enhance facial tissues.

•Support a bridge or denture, making them more secure and comfortable.

What does getting dental implants involve?

The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months.

X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant. While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself onto the bone for up to six months. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the “post” that will hold the artificial tooth in place. With other implants the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the same time.

After several weeks of healing the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. Because several fittings may be required, this step may take one to two months to complete. After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort to the patient.

You will receive care instructions when your treatment is completed. Good oral hygiene, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new implant.
