The timeline for dental implants typically takes several months. First, we’ll conduct a consultation and prepare your jawbone (if needed). The implant is placed surgically, followed by a healing period of 3–6 months for the implant to integrate with the bone. Finally, we’ll place a crown or restoration on the implant. Your dentist will provide a more detailed timeline based on your specific needs.
Dental implants are meant to be long-lasting, often staying intact for over 20 years when cared for properly. For the best results, make sure to brush and floss daily, steer clear of hard items to chew on, and visit your implant dentist for routine check-ups.
Cosmetic dentistry in New Westminster can enhance the appearance of your smile by treating issues such as tooth discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment. Treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and crowns can all help restore your smile to its ideal appearance.
Yes, Invisalign is highly effective for treating common dental issues such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The clear aligners slowly and gradually shift your teeth into their right position, improving both the appearance and function of your smile.
You should visit the dentist every 6–8 weeks during Invisalign treatment. These visits allow your Invisalign dentist to monitor your progress, ensure your aligners are fitting properly, and provide you with new sets of aligners.
We accept a variety of payment methods, including cash, credit cards, and debit cards. We also work with most major dental insurance plans. If you have CDCP coverage, we can assist you with your dental care as well.
