Dental Implants in Burnaby
At Burnaby Gentle Dental, we offer modern dental implants that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, implants provide a permanent, reliable, and comfortable way to restore your smile — for life.
What It Is & How It Works
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Over time, it fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration), creating a stable foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture.
Implants are the most advanced and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth while preserving jaw health.
