Our Restorative Dentistry Services
Full Mouth Dental Implants
A permanent, life-changing solution for patients missing most or all of their teeth. Using state-of-the-art CBCT X-ray imaging, we ensure precise implant placement for a strong and natural-looking smile.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Unlike traditional dentures, these are secured to implants for a stable, comfortable, and functional solution. Perfect for patients who want better retention and a natural feel.
All-on-X Dental Implants
A full-arch dental implant system that provides a permanent, fixed alternative to dentures. Ideal for those seeking a stronger, more stable bite and natural aesthetics.
Single Implants
For patients missing just one tooth, a single dental implant provides seamless function and appearance without affecting neighbouring teeth.
Dental Bridges
A cost-effective and durable option for replacing missing teeth by bridging the gap with strong, natural-looking restorations.
Bone Grafting – Rebuilding Jaw Strength for Implants
If you have insufficient jawbone density, bone grafting strengthens and rebuilds the area to support dental implants. This procedure is often necessary for patients with bone loss due to tooth extractions, gum disease, or prolonged missing teeth. At Bigger Smiles, we use advanced grafting materials to promote bone regeneration, ensuring a stable foundation for your new smile.
Sinus Lift – Creating Space for Upper Jaw Implants
For patients needing implants in the upper jaw, a sinus lift (also called sinus augmentation) increases bone height by lifting the sinus membrane and placing grafting material underneath. This prepares the jaw for implant placement, providing long-term stability. If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for implants, a sinus lift may be the solution.
