Replace Missing Teeth with a Natural-Looking, Long-Lasting Solution

If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants can help restore both the appearance and function of your smile. At Hudson Dental in Edmonton, we offer single tooth implants, All-on-4 implants, implant-supported bridges, and implant-supported dentures to help you regain confidence in your smile.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it acts as an artificial tooth root. Over time, the bone naturally fuses with the implant in a process called osseointegration. Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, which supports a crown, bridge, or denture — creating a stable, natural-looking replacement tooth.

Dental implants can replace one tooth or several teeth, helping to prevent issues such as:

Shifting of nearby teeth
Changes in bite alignment
Bone loss in the jaw
Speech or chewing difficulties

Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Before dental implant placement, your dentist will assess your oral and general health to ensure successful treatment.

You may be a candidate if you have:

Healthy gums: Free of gum disease and inflammation
Adequate bone density: Sufficient jawbone to support the implant (bone grafting may be recommended if needed)
Good overall health: The ability to heal properly after a minor surgical procedure

Regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits are essential to keep your implants and natural teeth healthy.

The Dental Implant Process

Consultation and Assessment:

Your dentist will take X-rays and discuss your treatment options to determine the best approach.
Implant Placement:

A titanium post is placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia. The healing process usually takes a few months as the implant integrates with the bone.
Abutment and Restoration:

Once healing is complete, an abutment (connector) is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is secured in place.

The result is a natural-looking, functional tooth replacement that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Permanent and Stable: They integrate with bone for a long-lasting foundation.
Natural Appearance: Designed to look and feel like real teeth.
Improved Comfort: No slipping or clicking like with traditional dentures.
Better Oral Health: Implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support.
Preserved Jawbone: Helps prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the success rate of dental implants?

Dental implants have a high success rate — generally between 90–95% for healthy patients with good oral hygiene.

Is getting dental implants painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients experience only mild discomfort afterward, which can be managed with medication.

How long does recovery take?

Many patients return to regular activities within a day or two. Full healing and integration with the jawbone can take a few months.

What happens if I don’t replace a missing tooth?

Missing teeth can cause nearby teeth to shift, bone loss in the jaw, and changes in facial shape over time. Replacing missing teeth helps prevent these complications.
