What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, biocompatible posts—typically made of titanium—that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once integrated with the bone, implants provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, including crowns, bridges, or full dentures.
A complete implant restoration typically includes:
- Implant: The titanium post is inserted into your jawbone.
- Abutment: A connector that attaches the implant to your new tooth.
- Crown: A custom-made replacement tooth designed to match your natural smile.
The Benefits Of Dental Implants
Discover why dental implants are the preferred solution for replacing missing teeth.
- Closest to Natural Teeth: Function, look, and feel like your own teeth
- Preserve Jawbone Health: Prevent bone loss that occurs after tooth loss
- Protect Adjacent Teeth: No grinding required, unlike traditional bridges
- Stability & Security: Eat, speak, and smile without slipping or discomfort
- Long-Lasting: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime
- Maintain Facial Structure: Prevent the sunken appearance caused by missing teeth
- No Cavities: While implants can’t decay, good oral hygiene is still essential
- Speak & Eat Naturally: Enjoy your favorite foods and speak clearly without worry
Are Dental Implants Right For You?
You may be a good candidate if you:
-
Have one or more missing or damaged teeth
-
Are in good overall health with healthy gums
-
Have an adequate jawbone to support the implant
-
Are committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits
We also provide advanced treatment options for patients who have experienced bone loss or have other medical considerations.
Our Dental Implant Process: Step-by-Step
Curious about what to expect during dental implant treatment?
Here’s a clear, step-by-step breakdown of our advanced implant process at Angel Care Dental in Surrey—designed for comfort, precision, and long-term success.
Step 1: Consultation & Imaging
We take a 3D CBCT scan and digital impressions to assess your bone structure and plan your treatment.
Step 2: Digital Surgical Planning
Dr. Janic uses coDiagnostiX® to virtually plan implant placement and design your surgical guide.
Step 3: Implant Surgery
Your implant(s) are placed with the help of 3D-printed guides for precise and safe positioning.
Step 4: Healing Phase (Osseointegration)
Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your jawbone, creating a stable foundation.
Step 5: Abutment & Crown Placement
Once healed, a custom abutment and crown are attached to restore your natural smile.
Surgical Planning with coDiagnostiX® and 3D Printing
Using our in-house coDiagnostiX® AI software, we perform detailed digital planning for your implant surgery. This includes:
-
CBCT scan and 3D modeling of your bone structure
-
Precise virtual placement of implants
-
Fabrication of custom surgical guides using our latest 3D printer
These guides enable us to perform the surgery with exceptional accuracy, reduce chair time, and enhance long-term success.
Advanced Procedures for Long-Term Success
Dental Implants & Preparatory Procedures in Surrey
Dental implant procedures are just one of the many dental services we offer to patients in Surrey. Some individuals may require preparatory treatments to ensure the success of their dental implants.
At Angel Care Dental, we provide the following implant-supportive procedures:
-
Socket Preservation – Bone grafting during tooth extraction to preserve jaw structure.
-
Ridge Augmentation – Restores lost bone volume in areas with significant bone loss.
-
Sinus Lifts – Lifts the sinus membrane and adds bone for implants in the upper jaw.
-
Soft Tissue Grafting – Enhances gum contour and improves tissue health around implants.
-
Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) – Recommended when the jawbone is too thin or soft to support implants.
These procedures are carefully planned using 3D imaging technology and performed with minimally invasive techniques to support optimal healing and long-term results.
Bone Grafting For Dental Implants
Restore Jawbone, Secure Your Implant
Bone grafting is a safe and very effective procedure that is sometimes necessary before dental implants are placed.
Dr. Janic will walk you through the benefits of each type of bone graft and help you make an informed decision about the best material for your treatment.
At Angel Care Dental, we offer:
-
Autografts – Bone taken from your own body
-
Allografts – Donor bone sourced from a certified tissue bank
-
Alloplasts – Synthetic, biocompatible bone materials
The bone grafting procedure is typically performed in-office under local anesthesia, with sedation available for added comfort. Healing time varies depending on the graft location and bone density. It may take 3 or more months for the graft to fully fuse with your natural bone. Once healed, your dental implant can be placed with confidence.
Sinus Lift (Sinus Augmentation or Sinus Elevation)
Strengthen your upper jaw for safe, long-lasting implant placement.
A sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation or sinus elevation, is a bone-augmentation procedure for patients who have insufficient natural bone in this area for a dental implant placement. The procedure involves adding bone below the sinus so that one or more implants can be placed.
Why a Sinus Lift?
-
Enhances long-term implant stability, allowing your new teeth to fit, and function like natural teeth
-
Minimally invasive with little discomfort
-
Does not affect speech, sinus function, or facial structure
Once the area heals—typically within 4 to 12 months—your implant can be safely placed in the newly strengthened bone.
Socket Preservation
Protect your future smile after tooth extraction.
Without socket preservation, the supporting bone surrounding teeth shrinks significantly within three months of removal. This shrinkage not only complicates future restorative treatments—often requiring additional procedures and increased costs—but can also compromise the stability of adjacent teeth by reducing their supporting bone structure.
Socket preservation, also known as socket regeneration, involves placing bone graft material directly into the extraction site. This helps:
-
Preserve bone volume and gum tissue
-
Support surrounding teeth
-
Avoid future bone grafting procedures
-
Improve long-term implant success
By taking this step immediately after extraction, you’re protecting your bone structure and preparing your mouth for future restoration.
The All-on-X Solution: Full Arch Implants
A permanent, full-mouth dental implant option for patients missing most or all teeth.
All-on-X is a transformative option for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth. Using just 4 to 6 dental implants per arch, this technique supports a full set of fixed, non-removable teeth—often without the need for bone grafting.
It’s a reliable, long-term solution that restores both function and aesthetics, giving you a natural-looking smile with fewer implants and a faster recovery time.
Benefits of the All-on-X Procedure:
-
Temporary teeth are placed on the same day as surgery
-
Permanent teeth are placed after just 4–6 months
-
You can eat, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence again
What To Expect After Dental Implant Surgery
Proper care after dental implant surgery is essential for healing and long-term success. In the first month, your implant is actively integrating with the surrounding bone and tissue, so extra attention is needed during this period.
Post-Op Instructions
- Critical First 24 hours: Avoid disturbing the surgical site—no rinsing, spitting, touching, smoking, or using straws—to protect the wound and support healing.
- Antibiotics – Patients should take all prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection at the surgical site. Twenty-four hours after the surgery, patients should begin using the prescribed oral rinse twice daily alongside a warm saltwater rinse 4-5 times daily (preferably after every meal/snack).
- Bleeding – Blood in the patients’ saliva is normal during the first 24 hours following surgery. We suggest biting on gauze pads to help control and lessen blood flow. Gently bite down on the gauze pad and try to maintain constant pressure, repeating as often as needed, or until bleeding lessens.
- Dealing with pain – Shortly after your dental implant surgery the anesthetic will wear off. You should begin taking pain medication before this happens. Any over-the-counter pain medication can be taken (e.g., Tylenol ® , Aleve ® , ibuprofen, etc.).
- Diet – We recommend an initial diet of soft foods, but patients can resume a normal diet as soon as they feel capable of doing so. Stay hydrated. It is critical that you are drinking plenty of fluids.
- Hygiene – In order for the dental implants to heal properly, the surgical site must be kept clean. Continue to brush your teeth as you normally would, but avoid any sutures and do not brush the implant. The antibiotic and saltwater rinses will disinfect the implant itself.
- Swelling – After dental implant surgery some amount of swelling is to be expected. To help minimize swelling, try to keep your head elevated and lower your activity level as much as possible. Use ice packs for the first 48 hours and apply continuously, or as frequently as possible to minimize facial swelling.
- Wearing your prosthesis or night guard – Partial dentures, flippers, full dentures, retainers, or night guards should not be used for at least 10 days following surgery. If there are any special circumstances, our practice will discuss those with you during your pre-operative consultation.
- Smoking – Smoking after dental implant surgery has an increased risk of infection which also increases the risk of dental implants failing to integrate. We recommend that patients do not smoke for a minimum of 2 weeks afterdental implant surgery
Follow-Up Visits & Maintenance
Healing time differs depending on whether a patient receives immediate crown placement, or waits for the implant to fuse with the jawbone. Your recovery timeframe will depend on your individual case and treatment plan; follow-up appointments will be scheduled accordingly.

Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for dental implants or need correction for a previous implant procedure, Dr. Janic, a trusted Surrey-based dentist, offers expert advice and personalized treatment options. A second opinion can open new doors for restoring your oral health.
Dental implants are a highly effective, long-term solution for missing or damaged teeth. They restore essential functions like chewing, speaking, and eating—allowing you to live with comfort and confidence. Implants also prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of alignment, preserving your overall dental structure. Best of all, dental implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, down to the tiniest detail.
What Are Dental Implants, Exactly?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots, surgically inserted into the jawbone. Over time, they fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong, stable foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. These natural-looking restorations are securely anchored in place, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Dental implants are a reliable, long-term solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth—helping restore both function and appearance while preserving your oral health.
Who Can Benefit from Dental Implant Services?
Dental implant procedures are a viable option for individuals who have experienced tooth loss due to a range of factors such as oral diseases, teeth grinding, tooth decay, accidents, or injury. Candidates need healthy gums and a strong jawbone to support the titanium implant, which is surgically placed and fused to the bone through osseointegration.
Are Dental Implants Safe?
Yes, dental implants are a safe and proven solution for replacing missing teeth. At Angel Care Dental, we utilize advanced imaging and guided technology to ensure your implant is placed with precision and care.
Does Getting A Dental Implant Hurt?
Implant placement is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Most patients report only mild discomfort afterward, similar to that experienced after a tooth extraction.
Can I Replace All My Teeth With Implants?
Yes! We offer full-arch implant solutions, such as All-on-X, which utilize 4 to 6 implants to anchor a complete arch of new teeth. This option is ideal for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth.
How Long Will My Implant Last?
With proper care and regular dental checkups, dental implants can last for decades, often a lifetime. They are one of the most durable and reliable options for tooth replacement.
What Is The Recovery Time For Dental Implants?
Most patients return to normal activities within 2–3 days. Full healing (osseointegration) takes 3–6 months.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
The cost of dental implants varies based on the number of teeth replaced and any preparatory procedures (like bone grafting). We’ll provide a clear treatment plan and help you explore insurance or financing options.
Will My Insurance Cover The Cost Of My Implant?
Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for dental implants and related services. However, coverage can vary depending on your provider and policy.
To get an accurate estimate, we recommend checking directly with your insurance company. Our team at Angel Care Dental in Delta, BC is also happy to assist you in understanding your benefits and navigating your options.
