Single Site Implants
Single Site Implants in North Vancouver
North Vancouver Surgical Centre For Implant & Periodontal Treatment
If you are missing a single tooth, or a tooth needs to be removed because it can no longer be restored, a single dental implant might be your best option to replace it. A dental implant is a strong post made of titanium or zirconia (ceramic) that replaced the root of your tooth and a crown is attached to it to restore your smile.
Your first appointment will include a detailed consultation and a CT scan of the affected area. This 3-D image of your jaw will allow our surgeons to plan your treatment accurately and inform you al the steps required in order to replace your tooth.
In some cases, implants can be placed on the same day of removing your tooth/root and provisionally restored with an immediate temporary crown. The implant will require 6-12 weeks of healing before a final permanent tooth/crown can be fabricated, during this time, you will have temporary appliance or fix temporary to fill the gap.
