Are you dreaming of a brighter, more dazzling smile? See how Dr. Larry Lu and his highly-trained professional staff of BigSmiles Dental Care in Surrey, B.C., Canada can help you.

Missing teeth affect a person’s appearance, the ability to speak and chew, and general dental health. It is usually recommended that a missing tooth be replaced. Many options exist for the replacement of lost teeth. One that has gained considerable acceptance is the dental implant.

Until fairly recently, dentures and bridges were the only options for replacing missing teeth. Some people can’t comfortably wear dentures. They’re painful, they don’t remain in place, and they may sometimes gag the wearer.

Bridges have the disadvantages of requiring crowns on the teeth The bone in that area will recede, possibly destabilizing the adjacent teeth, and increasing the risk of periodontal disease to those teeth. The dental implant has none of these disadvantages.

Improved techniques and advances in the materials used for implants have made the permanent dental implant a better alternative for many people.

At BigSmiles Dental Care, we are highly knowledgeable in implant dentistry so we can improve your smile with ease and comfort. During your appointment we will use only the latest tools and technology to get you that smile of a lifetime.

Your Comfort Is Our First Concern

Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds tightly with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.

Dental implants are changing the way people live! With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.
