Dental implant is used to replace missing roots and support replacement teeth, which may be fixed to the dental implant (s). Or you may be able to take them out yourself.
Implants are not for everyone. You must be in good general health, have healthy gums and enough bone in your jaw to support the implant(s). You must be willing to see your dentist or dental specialist several times until the work is done, and take very good care of your implant(s). In addition, implants can cost more than other kinds of replacement teeth.
The Process of Getting an Implant
Step1: Precision with 3D Scanning
A 3-dimensional scan of the teeth was performed using our intra-oral scanner, and an additional 3-dimensional X-ray was done at the same time.
These images were overlapped and superimposed using special software, and all the surgery was performed on the computer to fabricate a 3D-printed surgical stent. For almost all implant surgeries, we prefer to use a stent to improve accuracy and comfort for the patients.
Step2:Healing with PRF Technology

Step 3:Bone Bonding in Implants
Over time, the post will bond with the bone around it. This process, known as osseointegration, allows the titanium post to become securely anchored within the jawbone. As the bone cells grow and attach to the surface of the post, it ensures stability and support for the future dental restoration.
This crucial step provides a strong foundation for attaching the abutment and dental crown, ultimately restoring function and aesthetics.
Step 4:Care Tips for Dental Implants
The dental implant serves as an anchor, securely holding false teeth in place and mimicking the natural look and function of real teeth by bonding with the jawbone.
Despite their natural appearance, implants aren’t as resilient as natural teeth, necessitating careful brushing and flossing. Use a toothbrush with longer bristles to clean thoroughly around the implant.
Daily flossing, particularly around the implant and gum line, is crucial; a floss threader can aid in navigating this sensitive area effectively.
We Have Hiossen and Straumann dental implant system in West Van Family Dental Clinic
Accurate Dental Implant Surgery
We are placing dental implants using our guide surgery technology. In this system we use our intra-oral scanner to scan the teeth, after taking the three dimensional CT scan, we supper impose the x ray and oral scan together in the computer.
Using digital software we plan the implant and 3D print surgical guide for placing dental implant in the most accurate position. This technique reduce the time of surgery and improve the healing time.
