Dental implants in Courtenay, BC
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once healed, a custom porcelain crown is attached - creating a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. We coordinate with trusted local oral surgeons for the surgical phase, then handle your final restoration in-house.
Consultation & Planning
We assess your suitability for implants using digital X-rays and our intraoral scanner. We explain all options clearly before any treatment begins.
Implant Placement
We coordinate with trusted local oral surgeons to place the titanium implant post in the jawbone. Healing typically takes 3 to 6 months while the implant integrates with the bone.
Final Restoration

Implant options we offer
- Single-tooth implant with porcelain crown

Our approach
We practice conservative, evidence-based dentistry - we recommend what you need, not what inflates a bill. When a natural tooth can be saved, we will tell you. When an implant is the right long-term solution, we will walk you through the process step by step.
Dental implant FAQs
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once healed (3 to 6 months), a custom porcelain crown is attached to the implant post, creating a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
How does the implant process work at Crown Isle Dental?
We coordinate with trusted local oral surgeons for the surgical phase of dental implants. Once your implant has healed (typically 3 to 6 months), we handle your final restoration in-house, attaching a custom porcelain crown using our digital intraoral scanner - no messy impressions.
How long do dental implants take?
After the implant post is placed by a surgeon, healing typically takes 3 to 6 months. The final crown is then attached at Crown Isle Dental. Total treatment time varies by patient depending on healing and individual circumstances.
What are implant-retained dentures?
Implant-retained dentures are secured in place by dental implants rather than adhesive or suction. They offer greater stability and comfort than traditional removable dentures. Crown Isle Dental offers implant-retained dentures as part of its restorative dentistry services.
Are dental implants mercury-free?
Yes. All restorations at Crown Isle Dental - including implant crowns - are tooth-coloured and mercury-free. We have held this standard since 1996.
