Guided or freehand: always planned in 3D

Questions
Oral surgery questions
Straight answers to the questions patients ask us most. Your dentist will go through everything that applies to you at your free consultation.
What is a bone graft and why might I need one?
A bone graft rebuilds jawbone lost through missing teeth, gum disease or injury, so there is enough solid bone to hold an implant. Common types include socket grafts after an extraction, ridge augmentation and sinus lifts for the upper back jaw.
What is guided implant surgery?
Guided surgery uses your CBCT scan and a 3D intraoral scan to plan the exact position of each implant on a computer. A custom surgical guide then helps the dentist place the implant precisely, which can mean less downtime and sometimes no stitches. All our dentists are also experienced in freehand placement planned from 3D scans.
Do you treat gum disease?
Yes. We diagnose and treat gum (periodontal) disease, from deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to gum grafts, pocket reduction and regenerative procedures. Healthy gums are essential before and after implant treatment.
Do I need my wisdom teeth removed?
Not always. Wisdom teeth are usually removed when they are impacted, infected, decayed, crowding other teeth or causing pain, or preventatively when x-rays show they are likely to cause problems. Your dentist will check their position and explain whether removal is recommended.
Do you offer sedation?
Yes, at three levels: minimal oral sedation (a pill taken before your appointment), moderate IV sedation, and deep sedation. Oral sedation is available at all our clinics and IV sedation at select clinics. Deep sedation is currently offered at our Burnaby clinic, where two sedation dentists are present throughout.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. You can book a consultation directly with any of our clinics.
