Restoring More Than Teeth — Restoring Confidence

Dental Implant Restoration in Burnaby

Losing a tooth can be stressful — physically, emotionally, and sometimes socially (especially when you try to hide your smile in photos). Thankfully, dental implants offer one of the most natural and lasting ways to bring your smile back.

At My Smile Health Centre in Burnaby, Dr. Ivy Yu takes implant restoration a step further. She combines advanced dental technology with a holistic understanding of how your teeth, jaw, and body all work together. The result? A beautiful, functional smile that feels completely natural — not like something “installed.”

What Is Dental Implant Restoration?

Let’s start with the basics. A dental implant is a titanium post placed in your jawbone to act as a new tooth root. Once that post integrates with your bone (in a process called osseointegration), we attach a custom-made crown on top — the visible part that looks and functions like your natural tooth.

But here’s where Dr. Yu’s holistic philosophy shines: the goal isn’t just to replace a tooth. It’s to restore harmony between your bite, facial and jaw muscles, jaw joints, and posture. Because when your new tooth fits naturally into your system, your whole body feels balanced again.

Why “Holistic” Implant Restoration Is Different

A traditional dental implant restoration focuses on filling the gap — and that’s important. But a holistic dental implant restoration focuses on how that gap affects everything else.

Dr. Yu evaluates your bite alignment so your new tooth doesn’t throw off your jaw balance. She checks your TMJ and airway health because implants should support, not strain, how you optimally breathe and move. She ensures your bone and gum tissue heal naturally and integrates everything into how your jaw functions as part of your posture and overall comfort.

Every step is guided by your body’s natural mechanics, not just a model of your mouth. Holistic dentistry means restoring your implant in a way that supports your long-term comfort and function, not just your short-term appearance.

Her approach is science-driven, using 3D digital scans for precision and biocompatible materials that your body loves. It’s function-first, ensuring your new tooth fits your bite, not just your smile. It’s comfort-oriented, using gentle techniques that reduce healing time and inflammation. And it’s aesthetically mindful — your new tooth will look natural without that awkward “too white” surprise.

The Benefits of Holistic Implant Restoration

When dental implants are restored with balance in mind, you get a natural look and feel that is so comfortable that you’ll forget which tooth was replaced. You’ll regain normal chewing and speaking, protect your jaw from strain, and avoid the headaches and muscle tension that can come from poor alignment.

A properly integrated implant helps maintain your bone density and supports your overall facial structure. The bonus? You can finally smile and eat with confidence again, knowing your implant supports your total health, not just your grin.

Is Holistic Implant Dentistry “Alternative”?

Not at all. Holistic doesn’t mean “out there.” It simply means thoughtful. We restore dental implants utilizing advanced 3D imaging, and digital restoration tools in order to place a crown that is biocompatible and esthetically natural— we also make sure your jaw muscles and joints and airway agree with what we’re doing.

In short, it’s modern dentistry, minus the tunnel vision.

A Smile That Feels Like You Again

Getting a dental implant restoration is more than fixing what’s missing — it’s getting back your function, your confidence, your comfort, and maybe even your love of selfies.
