Dental Implants & Veneers in Kitsilano, Vancouver

Missing or damaged teeth? Want a brighter, more even smile? At Smile Back Dental, Dr. Irena Mota and our team specialize in dental implants and porcelain veneers—two of the most effective solutions for restoring and transforming smiles. We combine advanced technology with a gentle, personal touch to give you results that look and feel natural.

​

Why Choose Dental Implants or Veneers

​

Dental implants and veneers each play a key role in creating a healthy, confident smile:

• Dental implants replace missing teeth from root to crown, preventing bone loss and restoring full chewing power.

• Porcelain veneers cover chips, stains, and gaps, giving your teeth a smooth, white, and perfectly shaped appearance.

Whether you want to replace a single tooth, strengthen your bite, or enhance overall beauty, these treatments can dramatically improve your smile and self-confidence.

​

Dental Implants: Permanent Tooth Replacement

​

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of biocompatible titanium that integrates with your jawbone to support a custom crown. It’s the closest solution to a natural tooth.

Benefits of dental implants:

• Prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure

• Provide stable, natural chewing and speaking function

• Last decades with proper care

• Blend seamlessly with your natural teeth

Ideal candidates include adults with missing teeth, good oral health, and sufficient jawbone density. Dr. Irena will evaluate your smile and create a personalized plan.

​

The Implant Process at Smile Back Dental

​

1. Comprehensive consultation & 3D imaging – We evaluate bone structure and overall oral health.

2. Implant placement – A titanium post is gently inserted into the jawbone.

3. Healing & integration – Over several months, the implant fuses with bone.

4. Custom crown attachment – A durable, natural-looking crown completes the restoration.

Throughout the process, we focus on comfort, clear communication, and long-term success.

​

Porcelain Veneers: Instantly Transform Your Smile

​

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells custom-made to cover the front surface of teeth. They correct:

• Chips, cracks, or worn enamel

• Stains that don’t respond to whitening

• Gaps or minor misalignment

• Uneven or misshapen teeth

Veneers provide a dramatic, natural-looking improvement in as little as two visits.

​

The Veneer Process

​

1. Smile design consultation – Discuss your goals and choose the perfect shade and shape.

2. Minimal tooth preparation – A thin layer of enamel is gently reshaped.

3. Custom veneer creation – We craft porcelain veneers that match your desired look.

4. Precise bonding & finishing – Veneers are permanently attached and polished for a flawless finish.

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years or more.

​

Combined Treatment Plans

​

Some patients benefit from both implants and veneers—for example, replacing a missing tooth with an implant and enhancing surrounding teeth with veneers. Our integrated approach ensures that form, function, and aesthetics are perfectly balanced.

Care & Maintenance for Implants and Veneers

​

Both implants and veneers require good daily oral hygiene and regular professional checkups:

• Brush twice daily and floss around all teeth and implants.

• Use a non-abrasive toothpaste and soft-bristle brush.

• Schedule dental exams and cleanings every six months.

• Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth.

• Avoid using your teeth to open packages or bite very hard foods.

With proper care, your new smile can last for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions

​

How long do dental implants last?
With regular dental care, implants can last 25 years or more, often for a lifetime.

​

Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are a long-term solution (10–15 years on average). They can be replaced if needed.

​

Does implant surgery hurt?
No. We use modern local anesthesia and, if needed, sedation. Most patients report only mild soreness afterward.
 

Can I whiten veneers or implant crowns?
Porcelain and composite crowns don’t whiten like natural enamel. We recommend whitening natural teeth before placement to ensure a perfect color match.
