Replace missing teeth
Dental Implants & Socket Preservation
Dental implants can replace selected missing teeth by supporting a crown, bridge or other restoration when the bone and surrounding tissues are suitable.
How we approach it
Start with the diagnosis, then choose the treatment.
Vulcan Dental provides implant assessment, placement and restoration. Socket preservation may also be considered after an extraction to help maintain bone volume for future tooth replacement.
Care may include
- Implant consultations and treatment planning
- 3D imaging and digital planning when appropriate
- Dental implant placement and restoration
- Implant-supported crowns or bridges
- Socket preservation after selected extractions
- Long-term maintenance and hygiene planning
What to expect
A simple, step-by-step process.
Plan the sequence
Implant treatment can involve several stages and healing periods. The proposed sequence and alternatives are reviewed before treatment.
Restore and maintain
Once appropriate healing has occurred, the implant is restored and ongoing hygiene and maintenance remain important.
Questions about dental implants
Common questions.
These answers are general. Your dentist can give you advice that is specific to your situation after an assessment.
Is everyone a candidate for a dental implant?
No. Bone, gum health, medical factors, smoking, medications, neighbouring anatomy and treatment goals all affect suitability.
How long does implant treatment take?
Timing varies widely depending on extraction history, bone healing, grafting needs and the treatment plan. Implant care is usually completed in stages.
What is socket preservation?
Socket preservation uses grafting material in selected extraction sites to help maintain bone volume for future restorative options, including implants.
