A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you’ll see they have the same basic parts. Both have a crown (the visible part used to chew food). Both have a root that holds the tooth securely under the gum and is anchored into the jaw. The difference is that the implant is made of titanium – the same time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints.

Full mouth reconstruction refers to the process of completely restoring all of the teeth in your mouth. Full mouth reconstruction, unlike a “smile makeover,” is a necessary series of procedures, rather than an elective surgery. Full mouth reconstruction is needed when:

teeth have been lost
teeth have been injured or fractured
teeth have become severely worn
jaw pain is present due to bite problems

Using only four implants, All-on-4® treatment concept makes the best use of your available jawbone to provide you a fully functional set of new teeth. By angling the rear two implants, your new teeth will be securely supported for many years of smiling and eating enjoyment. As well as being economical, the All-on-4® treatment concept is backed by many years of study and use, proving its effectiveness.

The Trefoil system  offers a high-quality, efficient, fixed solution for more edentulous patients and patients with failing dentition.

A fixed prosthesis is a revolutionary concept providing patients with fully functioning teeth on dental implants. For patients that are missing all of their teeth on one arch or are having all of the teeth removed on one arch, this is the most ideal restorative treatment option.

The advantages of a fixed prosthesis are:

greater stability
less bulky – no palate coverage
improved chewing ability

Most dentistry looks like dentistry. Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable.
Crowns and bridges are an extremely reliable treatment option that offer your a long-lasting, natural looking result for correction of major dental problems.
Most commonly, we recommend crowns and bridges for the following reasons:
replace existing crowns or fillings
replace missing teeth to give you a complete smile and a functional bite
It is usual for these treatments to last for 20 to 30 years, which is as close to permanent as dental treatment can get.

After your implants have been placed and adequately healed you will have them restored with either a crown, bridge, or denture. Implant restorations are very reliable, natural-looking, easy to maintain, and long-lasting.

A denture or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth, replaces natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips.
Most often, because the dentures are no anchored in place, they are painful, inconvenient and unstable. This can make chewing foods difficult, limiting the foods that you once enjoyed.
By having as few as 2-4 implants placed you can greatly improve your dentures function and retention.

Porcelain veneers are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility. Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. At South Edmonton Prosthodontics we place veneers routinely and design each case individually to match and enhance the characteristics of your smile.

We constantly bring in new technology and equipment to provide ever better service and treatment to our patients.  The new digital technologies and equipment allows to bring our prosthodontics to the next level.
