Create a Stronger, Permanent, and more Beautiful New Smile
Dental Implants Deliver Unrivaled Longevity, Oral Function, and Versatility
Missing teeth can significantly affect your eating ability, causing discomfort and even pain when chewing. It may also lead to feelings of insecurity in social situations, making it harder to speak, laugh, or interact with others confidently. In the long run, the absence of teeth can result in bone loss, alter facial structure, and potentially lead to broader health issues.
At ARCH By Enlighten Dental, we recognize the impact of tooth loss and are committed to providing personalized, advanced implant solutions. Our comprehensive consultations ensure that each treatment is tailored to your needs, offering a long-lasting, reliable way to restore your smile and oral function. Dr. Yusef Khadembashi and Dr. Sam Paulos are dedicated to enhancing your quality of life with this life-changing dental procedure!
What Are Dental Implants?
The three-part dental implant consists of a screw-like post, an abutment, and a restoration. These components work harmoniously to restore optimal oral function and enhance smile aesthetics. The titanium implant post is surgically placed in your jawbone, where it undergoes osseointegration, fusing with the bone.
The dental implant abutment is then attached to the implant post with a fixation screw or fabricated as a single piece. This abutment supports various restorations at Enlighten Dental, including single crowns, bridges, implant-supported dentures, or full mouth dental implants.

Versatile Options to Fit Any Need
Single Dental Implants
Single-tooth dental implants are permanent fixtures placed in your jawbone to replace a severely decayed or missing tooth. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants function as a natural tooth root, promoting the health of your underlying bone and stimulating new bone growth. Supported by this artificial tooth root, your natural-looking and functional replacement tooth is designed to last for decades or even a lifetime!
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge fabricated from high-quality materials is color-matched to look natural alongside your existing teeth. A bridge eliminates unsightly smile gaps caused by one or more missing teeth in a row, prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, and restores your ability to eat and speak. However, only an implant-supported bridge eliminates the need to modify healthy teeth while stimulating the underlying bone.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Also known as overdentures, this type of denture is secured with a bar- or ball-retained device and can be made from natural-looking acrylic resin or porcelain. This prosthesis allows you to eat, speak, and smile confidently, whether fixed or removable. Implant-supported dentures, stabilized by two or more dental implants, can generally restore 60% of dental function. A fixed option further enhances convenience by eliminating the need for nightly removal and cleaning.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
Full mouth dental implants offer a comprehensive solution for individuals with extensive tooth loss, providing a stable and permanent foundation for prosthetic teeth. These implants restore nearly 100% of your natural biting and chewing power, allowing you to enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions.
By integrating with your jawbone, full mouth dental implants help prevent bone loss and maintain your facial structure. They eliminate the need for messy adhesives and the inconvenience of removable dentures, enhancing comfort and confidence.
The ARCH By Enlighten Dental Implant Process
During your implant consultation at ARCH By Enlighten Dental, we will discuss your oral health challenges and goals for dental implants and explain the entire process in detail. Using digital X-rays and cone-beam computed tomography, we will analyze your bone structure, nerve tissue, and sinus cavities to determine your suitability for dental implants in Vancouver, BC. This preparation phase is crucial for ensuring that your dental implant surgery is carried out with precision and care, laying the foundation for a successful outcome and optimal recovery.
As with every procedure at ARCH By Enlighten Dental, you’ll rest comfortably with safe and effective sedation. If you need tooth extractions, we may be able to place grafting material and implant posts in the same appointment. In other cases, we’ll make a small incision in the gums to access the underlying bone and place your implants into predetermined spots within your jawbone.
Once placed, we will attach an abutment connector and affix your temporary restoration. This temporary restoration will allow you to enjoy all the benefits of your new smile immediately, meaning you will never go without teeth.
Our team will provide detailed postoperative care and pain management guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery. While the healing process varies for each individual, it typically takes 3-6 months for the gums to heal fully and the titanium posts to integrate with your jawbone. After this healing period, we will fit your customized crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture. For those who received full mouth dental implants in Vancouver, BC, the temporary teeth will be replaced with a beautiful, hand-crafted prosthesis, offering a lifetime of exceptional aesthetics and functionality!
