Missing teeth aren't just a cosmetic issue; they can lead to oral health problems. Spaces in your
mouth trap food, causing bacteria buildup and weakening your jawbone, which can affect eating
and communication.
Replacing missing teeth enhances both your appearance and oral function. Stoneycreek Village
Dental in Fort McMurray, Alberta, offers dental implants for those with tooth loss, ensuring a
healthy, complete smile.
Improve Your Appearance and Oral Function
Not everyone qualifies for dental implants. Book a consultation with Drs. Yohannes Melkie or
Alan Chan. Physical exams, digital radiographs, and scans determine your dental health and
jawbone density.
Determining Your Suitability for Implants
The implant process begins with surgery. Under local anesthesia, your gums are incised, and a titanium post is inserted into the bone, acting as an artificial root to anchor your new tooth.
The Dental Implant Process
Healing takes 3-6 months, allowing the jawbone to fuse with the implant. Post-healing, an abutment is placed to connect the implant to your new tooth. This minor surgery requires about
two weeks of recovery.
Healing and Abutment Placement
The final step is placing a natural-looking crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants provide a
permanent solution, restore nearly 100% of oral function, and look natural, giving you a
complete, confident smile.
