Dental Implants in Edmonton

• Chewing and speaking can become harder with gaps
• Neighbouring teeth can drift into the space over time
• Gaps can affect how your smile looks and how you feel about it
• The jawbone under a missing tooth can change without stimulation

An implant is one of several ways to replace missing teeth. Your dentist will also explain a dental bridge, which fills a gap using neighbouring teeth, and partial or complete dentures, which are removable. We take the time to explain how each option compares, so you can choose with confidence.

1. 01Consultation and exam. We review your health history, examine your mouth and take the images your dentist needs.
2. 02Treatment plan. You receive a clear plan, timeline and cost estimate before anything begins.
3. 03Placement. The implant post is placed in the jaw. Comfort options are available, and our team includes a dentist certified in IV sedation.
4. 04Healing. The area is given time to heal. Your dentist will tell you what to expect.
5. 05Final crown. Once healed, a custom crown is fitted and adjusted for your bite.

If you feel anxious about dental surgery, tell us. We offer sedation dentistry, and IV sedation is available without a referral. See our Sedation Dentistry page for more.

• Bring a list of your medications and tell us about your health history and any changes.
• Bring your insurance card, or both cards if you have two plans.
• If you have recent X-rays from another dental office, let us know when you book.
• Write down your questions and your goals for replacing the tooth.
• If sedation is planned, follow the instructions your dentist gives you about eating and arranging a ride home.

• Follow the aftercare instructions your dentist gives you for the first few days.
• Some tenderness, mild swelling or minor bleeding can be normal in the first days. Rest, and eat soft foods if your dentist advises it.
• Keep the area clean with the gentle cleaning method your dentist recommends.
• Attend your follow-up visits so your dentist can check healing.
• Call us if you have swelling that spreads, fever, severe or lasting pain, or bleeding that does not settle.

We follow the Alberta Dental Association Fee Guide and give you a written treatment plan and estimate before work begins. Some insurance plans cover part of implant treatment, so we verify your benefits, bill major insurance providers directly and tell you your portion up front. For any amount not covered, we offer flexible payment options.
