Dental Implants in Langley, BC
The most permanent, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Titanium implants that look, feel, and function just like your own teeth.
Dental Implants at Astra Dental Centre
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. At Astra Dental Centre in Langley, BC, we offer comprehensive implant treatment that restores your smile with a permanent, natural-looking, and fully functional result. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants integrate directly with your jawbone to provide stability that no other restoration can match.
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone. Over time, it fuses with the bone through osseointegration — creating the same stability as a natural tooth root. A custom-designed crown is then attached to complete your restoration. The result looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth.
Implant Options We Offer
Single Tooth Implant
Replace one missing tooth with a titanium post and a custom crown. No impact on neighbouring teeth — the implant stands entirely on its own.
Multiple Tooth Implants
Replace several missing teeth independently, preserving the integrity of all remaining teeth without grinding them down for a bridge.
Implant-Supported Bridge
A fixed bridge anchored to implants rather than natural teeth — more stable and tooth-preserving than a traditional bridge.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Snap-on or fixed full-arch dentures anchored by implants. Eliminates slipping, clicking, and the need for adhesive.
Bone Grafting (if needed)
We rebuild jawbone density before implant placement when required, ensuring a solid and lasting foundation.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Patients with one or more missing teeth — Implants are the most permanent and natural-feeling replacement available
- Patients unhappy with removable dentures — Implant-supported restorations don't slip, shift, or require adhesive
- Patients with healthy gums and adequate bone — Good bone density and healthy gum tissue are key success factors
- Patients who want to preserve their jawbone — Implants stimulate bone and prevent the bone loss that follows tooth extraction
- Long-term investment seekers — With proper care, implants can last decades — the most cost-effective option over time
How Dental Implant Treatment Works
Our step-by-step approach ensures every implant is placed with precision, comfort, and long-term success in mind.
Consultation & Imaging
Digital X-rays and imaging confirm candidacy and guide precise treatment planning.
Bone Grafting (if needed)
Bone volume is rebuilt when required to ensure a strong foundation for the implant.
Implant Placement
The titanium post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia — a comfortable, precise procedure.
Healing & Osseointegration
Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with the bone. Most patients continue normal daily activities during this time.
Crown Placement
Your custom-designed crown is attached. The result looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth.

Dental Implants FAQ
With proper care and regular dental checkups, dental implants can last many decades — often a lifetime. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 10–20 years due to normal wear, but the implant post itself is designed to be permanent.
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are candidates. Key factors include adequate jawbone volume, healthy gum tissue, and good overall health. Conditions like diabetes or smoking may affect outcomes but do not necessarily disqualify you. We perform a thorough evaluation including digital imaging.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is typically much more comfortable than patients expect. Most describe it as similar to having a tooth extracted. Some soreness and mild swelling in the days following is normal and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
The complete process — from implant placement to final crown — typically takes 3–6 months. This allows sufficient time for osseointegration. Some patients with excellent bone density may qualify for faster timelines.
Bone grafting can rebuild lost bone density to prepare the jaw for an implant. We offer socket preservation (immediately after extraction) and ridge augmentation procedures. After a healing period, implant placement can proceed successfully.
Implants are cared for just like natural teeth — brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend routine dental checkups. Avoid smoking and maintain good oral hygiene to maximize the lifespan of your implant.
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Some plans provide partial coverage for implants. We recommend checking with your provider before treatment and can help you navigate your benefits. We also offer direct billing.
Dental implants have a success rate of over 95% when placed by experienced professionals. Factors such as smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and poor oral hygiene can reduce this rate, which is why we evaluate each patient carefully before proceeding.
Implants are the only tooth replacement option that preserves jawbone. Unlike dentures, they don't slip or require adhesive. Unlike bridges, they don't require grinding down neighbouring healthy teeth. They look, feel, and function exactly like natural teeth.
The cost varies based on how many teeth are being replaced, whether bone grafting is needed, and the type of restoration. We provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing during your consultation.
