RESTORATIVE CARE
Replace a missing tooth. Restore your confidence.
Dental implants look, feel, and work like natural teeth. Planned with 3D imaging and placed with care, right here in Ritchie.
WHY IMPLANTS
The closest thing to a natural tooth.
Dental implants are the most reliable way to replace a missing tooth. A small titanium post takes the place of the root, and a custom crown sits on top. The result looks, feels, and works like the real thing.
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants preserve the bone in your jaw and leave your neighbouring teeth untouched. They restore your bite, your smile, and your confidence.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your implant journey, step by step.
01
Consultation & 3D Imaging
We start with an oral assessment, a review of your medical history, and a 3D CBCT scan of your jaw. This tells us whether implants are right for you and lets us plan your placement with precision.
02
Implant Placement
Dr. Paul places the titanium post under local anesthesia. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the appointment is. Sedation options are available if you want extra support.
03
Healing & Integration
Over the next few months, the implant bonds with your jawbone. This process is what gives implants their lasting strength. We check on your healing along the way.
04
Your Custom Crown
Once the implant is solid, we attach a custom crown matched to the shape and shade of your natural teeth. You can eat, speak, and smile with full confidence again.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Quick answers about dental implants.
Three things determine your suitability: an oral assessment, a medical history review, and a 3D imaging bone assessment. Most healthy adults are great candidates. Book a consultation and we’ll confirm whether implants are the right solution for you.
Every implant is planned around your oral health, medical history, bite, and available bone. With proper care and routine cleanings, implants can last a very long time. We’ll show you exactly how to protect yours.
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during placement. Some soreness in the days after is normal and manageable. Sedation options are available if you’re nervous about the appointment.
It depends on your situation, so we’ll give you a clear quote at your consultation before any work begins. Our fees follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, and we direct bill most insurance plans to keep your out-of-pocket costs down.
