Dental Implants at Shen Dental in Vancouver

Dental implants are a durable and natural-looking solution to replace missing teeth, providing a fixed alternative to removable dentures. These artificial roots, typically made of titanium, are surgically placed into the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants restore functionality, enhance appearance, and improve oral health by preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
