What are dental implants?

Dental implants are made up of titanium posts that are adhered to artificial teeth. They are attached to a patient’s jawbone, creating a durable, permanent solution to missing teeth.

Dental implants are the most effective long-term replacement to missing teeth, rather than traditional crowns, bridges, or dentures. Although these additional appliances can be cemented to the dental implant’s post, if necessary.

How do dental implants work?

During your initial consultation with us in Grande Prairie, Dr. Perica Nonkovic will create a customized treatment plan to ensure you achieve the best results possible.
The procedure entails 3 key components:

1 Position the implant

The implant is usually shaped like a cylinder. Its titanium post will be strategically positioned into the jawbone.

2 Install the abutment

After the implant has been installed, Dr. Nonkovic will adhere an abutment to the implant.

3 Restore functionality

Finally, a prosthetic tooth will be installed to the implant, restoring the tooth’s natural appearance and functionality.

We offer All-On-4 Dental Implants in Grande Prairie

Dr. Perica Nonkovic also offers All-on-4® dental implants in Grande Prairie. The All-on-4® treatment offers patients a permanent full-arch denture on four dental implants during surgery. This treatment is particularly beneficial as it provides patients will better functionality, appearance, comfort, speech, and self-esteem.

Quicker Treatment Times

The number of required surgeries and treatment times greatly reduce the complexity of dental implant treatments. By carefully positioning the posterior dental implants, time-consuming bone grafts are no longer necessary.

Security with Minimal Bone Volume

Dr. Perica Nonkovic is able to use longer implants by strategically positioning the two posterior implants. This approach increases the contact between the bones and implants, while avoiding vertical bone augmentation and the complications that come with it. The tilted implants can also be adhered in the front of the mouth, reducing cantilevers and avoiding significant structures of the mouth.

Affordable Costs

The All-on-4® technique is the fastest dental implant treatment available on the market. Additionally, it’s less expensive than traditional dental implants, especially for those in Grande Prairie, AB, who are in need of full mouth reconstruction.

Additional Dental Implant Options

In addition to single implants and All-on-4 implants, Dr. Nonkovic offers implant-supported crowns and bridges, as well as hybrid, fixed or locator dentures.

More Dental Implant Options

Dr. Perica Nonkovic specializes in dental implants in Grande Prairie, Alberta. In addition to single implants and All-On-4 Implants, he also offers Implant Supported Crowns and Bridges, and Hybrid, Fixed or Locator Dentures.

Implant supported crowns and bridges

A dental implant replaces a single tooth, resting where the root of the tooth previously existed. As a solution for a singular tooth replacement, a crown or prosthetic tooth is adhered to the abutment of the implant. For multiple tooth replacements, an implant-supported bridge may be used. Whatever your unique dental needs require, Dr. Nonkovic will provide the best solution for your smile!

Hybrid, fixed & locator dentures

There are many options available for denture implants that can be used to replace a full set of teeth. Implants are a more comfortable and stable alternative to traditional dentures. Denture locator implants, also known as ‘overdentures,’ are a specialized set of dental implants. They are strategically placed in the patient’s jaw, providing strong fixed-position anchors. These anchors work to connect the denture appliance to the jaw.
