Dental implant treatment is a modern, reliable solution for replacing lost or missing teeth. Natural-looking and secure, these restorations are created in minimal time. Here, you'll find answers to your questions about dental implants. With implants, you can smile confidently, eat better, and speak more clearly. At Alpine Smiles, we replace missing teeth with high-quality, lifelike implants produced in collaboration with our skilled dental technicians, ensuring the fastest practical process possible.
Pricing and Reimbursement
The cost of dental implants varies depending on materials and methods used. For an accurate estimate, we offer an implant-specific consultation, providing a tailored treatment plan and cost details. Alpine Smiles also offers financing options, which can be arranged with your dentist.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant may be needed following tooth loss due to injury, illness, or decay—not necessarily related to age. Missing teeth can impact bite function and quality of life. Previously, dentures were the only solution, but modern implants now offer natural-looking replacements for single or multiple teeth. Each implant includes a titanium fixture (screw) anchored to the jawbone, an abutment, and a porcelain or ceramic crown.
Advanced Equipment for Quality at Every Step
Our practice uses the latest in digital and 3D technologies, including 3D scanning, X-rays, printing, and milling, allowing us to provide high-quality restorations. Our close collaboration between dentists and technicians ensures the best possible outcomes.
When to Consider Dental Implants
Nearly anyone can receive dental implants, with a minimum age of 18 to ensure jaw growth completion. Common reasons for needing implants include:
• Tooth loss from injury
• Extensive decay
• Periodontal disease
• Congenital absence of a tooth
Consequences of Delayed Replacement:
If left untreated, missing teeth can lead to:
• Reduced bite function and shifting of adjacent teeth
• Difficulty chewing and speaking
• Jawbone resorption, complicating future implant placement
Implant Treatment Options
• Single Tooth Replacement: Preserve adjacent healthy teeth.
• Multiple Teeth Replacement: A bridge can be anchored on two or more implants.
• Full Arch Replacement: Implants can support full prostheses or large bridges for increased stability.
Advantages of Implants
• Permanent, natural-looking solution
• Preserves surrounding healthy teeth
• Prevents jawbone deterioration
• Provides better stability than removable prostheses
Disadvantages of Implants
• Higher initial cost than bridges or dentures
• Extended treatment time due to healing
• Requires thorough oral hygiene
Treatment Process
Implants require multiple appointments over several months to allow for proper healing. The process involves:
1) Consultation and Examination: Assessment with X-rays and consultation on treatment options.
2) Surgery: Under local anaesthesia, the implant fixture is placed in the jaw.
3) Restoration: Once healed, a crown, bridge, or denture is created and attached to the implant.
Same-Day Teeth Option: With optimal bone conditions, implants and crowns can be placed simultaneously, avoiding a temporary prosthesis.
Comfort and Pain Management
The procedure is pain-free under local anaesthesia. Mild swelling and tenderness are expected during recovery but are manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
Maintenance and Care
Implants require regular hygiene maintenance just like natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss, and schedule regular check-ups to ensure longevity. Smokers should be aware that smoking can affect implant success rates and should consider quitting.
Treatment Time Frame
The entire process typically takes between 3 and 7 months, depending on individual needs, with bone grafting, if required, extending the timeline.

The lack of teeth can affect the functionality of the bite and the quality of life. Previously, dentures were the only solution, but modern implants now offer natural-looking replacements for single or multiple teeth. Each implant includes a titanium device (screw) anchored to the jawbone, a stump, and a porcelain or ceramic crown.
