Implants - West Edmonton Dentist

Dental implants are the closest thing to your own natural tooth. Implants are indicated whenever at least one tooth is missing. The popularity of implants has increased steadily over the years. Implants are designed to replace the root of a missing tooth and can be used to support crowns, bridges, or dentures.

The root-form implant is the most common type and basically consists of three main components:

1. Implant screw – This part of the implant is made of titanium and is surgically placed in the bone. Titanium is accepted by the body extremely well and fuses with the bone (called osseointegration) during the healing process.
2. Abutment – This is a metal collar that attaches to the top of the implant screw and is the base for a crown, bridge, or denture.
3. Crown - The crown is the manufactured tooth that fits on top of the abutment. Bridges and dentures can also be secured to the abutment. The placement of the crown, bridge, or denture is the final step of the implant process.

Surgical cost of a single dental implant is about $2,900. Total cost for a single tooth replacement including the cost of the CT-Scan+Surgery+Crown total up to approximately $4900 over the course of 3 months (as long as there is no additional treatments such as grafts, sinus lifts or surgical guide).
