Your Implant Dentist in Vancouver
Missing teeth can significantly impact your daily life, affecting everything from chewing and speaking to your overall self-esteem. While traditional options like dentures and bridges are available, they can lead to bone loss over time as they do not stimulate the jawbone like natural teeth
Dental Implants
Single Implants
If you've lost a tooth from injury, decay, or gum disease, Dr. Reza Entezarion can restore its function and aesthetics with a single dental implant. This titanium screw replaces the tooth's root and integrates with the jawbone, providing a stable base for a lifelike crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Properly maintained, this implant can last a lifetime.
Multiple Implants
Dr. Entezarion can address multiple missing teeth with individual implants or by using two implants to anchor a bridge for a series of adjacent gaps. The crowns attached to these implants will both look and feel natural, enhancing your ability to chew, smile, and speak with renewed confidence, effectively concealing any previous dental gaps.

Dental implants are integrated into your jawbone, acting as the root of your tooth, which makes them comfortable and secure. With proper care, they can last a lifetime.
03
Enhanced Appearance
Implants help maintain your jawbone and prevent bone loss, supporting your facial structure and reducing sagging, thus preserving your youthful appearance.

Restored Function
Implants provide a stable base for replacement teeth, which look, feel, and function almost like your natural teeth, enhancing strength and reliability.

FAQ
The dental implant journey usually lasts four to eight months. It begins with the removal of any damaged or diseased teeth, and potentially a bone graft if the jawbone lacks adequate support. Once healed, the implant placement procedure is performed, often under sedation for comfort. A titanium screw is precisely placed in the jawbone, guided by 3D treatment planning. After a healing period for osseointegration, a permanent crown is crafted from digital impressions and attached to the implant, completing the restoration.
The idea of dental implant surgery might seem daunting, but it is actually quite painless. You won’t feel any discomfort during the procedure due to the local anesthesia, and sedation options are available if needed. After the procedure, any slight soreness that occurs is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter medications. Dr. Reza Entezarion provides detailed instructions for post-operative care to ease any discomfort and swelling, enabling most patients to resume work within just a day or two
If a permanent tooth isn’t replaced, several problems can occur:
-
Remaining teeth can shift, leading to misalignment and bite issues.
-
Your smile’s appearance may suffer, affecting your confidence.
-
Biting and chewing become more difficult.
-
Speech may be impacted.
-
Other teeth endure more pressure, leading to uneven wear and potential further tooth loss.
-
The jawbone where the tooth was can deteriorate, affecting nearby teeth and altering facial structure, potentially making you look older. This bone loss can occur even with dentures or bridges.
-
Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including a high success rate and the ability to function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat freely and smile confidently. They blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, requiring no special care.
Additional advantages include:
-
Stability without slipping or noise, unlike dentures.
-
No need to modify adjacent healthy teeth as with bridges.
-
Comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.
-
Long-lasting, durable, and strong.
