What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a device that replaces your tooth root; it is an artificial root made of durable titanium or zirconia with an artificial tooth attached on top. Implant dentistry is one of the best options for replacing missing teeth; your implant will look and feel like your natural teeth.
Top Benefits Of Dental Implants
A dental implant is the best long-term choice to date, as it encourages bone stability, deters bone loss, and preserves the adjacent teeth; therefore, we do not need to clasp or drill these teeth. And there is hardly any discomfort at all. The life span of an implant is approximately 25 years or more.
Dental Implants Vs. Dental Bridges
Dental bridges and dental implants both serve an important role in restoring oral health. Both of them replace natural teeth, but there are a few key differences between the two:
Multiple teeth are compromised with a dental bridge
Dental implants last longer—up to 25 years, while tooth bridges may last for less than 10 years
Dental implants reduce the risk of bone loss
Dental implants increase the overall chewing ability in the mouth
Tooth bridges keep the costs down when there is not enough bone to place an implant
Are You A Good Candidate For Dental Implants In Winnipeg?
The best candidates for dental implants typically have healthy gums, good jawbone health, overall good health, and a commitment to maintaining their oral health.
Gum disease can lead to gum recession and eventually bone loss; that’s why healthy gums are such a benefit. When you are lacking bone volume, we may be able to help with a bone graft. Commitment to oral health is essential to ensure that your dental implants remain intact for decades to come and to reduce the risk of developing gum disease.

Types Of Dental Implants We Offer In Winnipeg
Single Tooth Implants
A dental implant is a titanium or zirconia root that is positioned beneath your gums. It is the perfect long-term solution for a missing tooth or teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implants can be used to secure a loose partial or complete denture. So, whether you are missing one tooth or many teeth, dental implant-supported dentures can make a huge difference to your chewing ability. Say, “Good-bye” to loose dentures and no more fears of losing your teeth in public. Even sore spots disappear when dentures are supported with implants instead of by your gums. When you first received dentures, your bone and gums were robust enough to secure your dentures with large flanges, but over time your bone diminishes like a river bank.
Dental implants are akin to trees on a riverbank, which prevents the banks from eroding because of the trees’ root structure beneath the surface. In the same way, dental implants stabilize the bone and prevent it from atrophying, ensuring long-term success.
All-On-4 Dental Implants
The Teeth-in-a-day technique is the most effective way to replace your missing teeth. We can provide our patients with beautiful, functional, non-removable teeth all in one day! By offering multiple procedures in one appointment, our patients benefit from avoiding the stress and discomfort of enduring multiple invasive procedures spread over 1-2 years! This means you will never be without teeth during the treatment, and you will have more time to enjoy your life. Moreover, this technique usually allows us to avoid bone grafting. Bone grafting can add additional treatment time, discomfort, and expense.
The Teeth-in-a-day technique is an excellent alternative to wearing conventional dentures. It alleviates many of the things people dislike about wearing dentures. Some of the benefits include:
Enjoy social settings again without fear of embarrassing moments caused by loose, bulky dentures
No more denture adhesive
No more sore spots
Regain almost all of your natural chewing and biting ability—enjoy eating what you want to eat instead of the foods your dentures will only allow you to eat
Look and feel younger—dental implants preserve jawbone and facial anatomy

We’ve designed our clinics to provide a spa-like experience; they are serene environments, where our dentists put your comfort first.
