For patients facing total tooth replacement, selecting the right dental restoration is critical for restoring health and function. In the past, traditional dentures and bridges provided a solution to tooth loss.

To help our patients achieve lasting results that benefit their smiles, Dr. Ahmed Hussain and a Collaboration of Local Surgeons, who offer dental implants as a comprehensive solution to single or multiple tooth loss. Our Edmonton dentist is able to provide all patients with multi-faceted treatments or options for treatment tailored to their unique smile. 

Receiving a Dental Implant

Beginning with an in-depth assessment of your smile, Dr. Hussain  uses diagnostic instruments, such as digital and panoramic x-rays, in order to determine the condition of each component of your smile, including teeth, gums, and underlying jaw bone. 

Once our Edmonton dentist has determined your candidacy for dental implants, a treatment plan tailored to your specific dental needs is developed. For some patients, this may include preliminary treatments such as teeth extraction or bone grafting in order to effectively prepare the area for successful implant placement. At Dr. Derek Fika Family Dentistry, we partner with local oral surgeons who perform any necessary pre-treatments and perform placement of the implant(s).  

Following the placement procedure, patients return to the surgeon throughout the recovery period to ensure proper healing. During these visits, your implant is checked to make sure it has successfully integrating into the underlying bone. Proper and complete integration is particularly important, as it promotes stability for the future restoration, helping patients to receive a truly lifelike tooth replacement. 

Once the surgeon, approves the integration of the implant to bone, impressions are taken to create the final restoration that will cover the implant post. Depending on the number of teeth being replaced, dental implant restorations may range from single porcelain crowns to full implant-supported dentures. 

Why Consider Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer stability, longevity, and improved oral function, often unparalleled by traditional restorative treatments such as bridges or dentures. Many of these benefits stem from the placement of the implant directly into bone, eliminating the need for neighboring teeth and tissue to support the restoration. This is particularly important, as traditional restorations can compromise the health of these adjacent structures, creating the need for restorative care in the future in order to retain dental function and health. 

In addition to providing a stable foundation, the integration of the implant into the jaw also stimulates healthy jaw bone volume, preventing potential bone deterioration and tooth loss that can accompany long-term tooth loss.  From an aesthetic perspective, reinforcing jaw bone health helps to maintain patients’ facial structure, preventing the sunken look that often accompanies long periods of tooth loss and lack of bone stimulation.
