Meet the Doctor

I am Dr. Katy Anagnostou D.D.S., a native of Athens, Greece, a DDS since 1995 and working in my own practice since 1998. I completed 4 years of post-graduate studies in Germany. I immigrated to Canada 5 years ago, but commuted for a few months at a time between my clinic in Athens and my home in Vancouver, until the summer of 2016. I was an Associate dentist in clinics on Vancouver Island and here in Burnaby until December 2017 when I acquired the Burnaby Heights Dental Centre.

I have a strong passion for giving people confidence in their smiles and my promise as a dentist is to provide them with the highly personalized, genuinely caring treatment they deserve. My first goal is to ensure my patient is as comfortable as possible. I understand how difficult this can be, as I suffered this anxiety as a child; now it motivates me to first get to know my patient as a person…not merely as a “case”. As a professional healthcare provider, I’ve adopted a holistic approach and seen many, many times how dental treatments can be life-changing; oral health has a huge impact on a person’s overall health and sense of well-being.

The technology of dentistry is rapidly evolving, and I’m dedicated to constant learning – staying current with the latest products, techniques, and equipment available. Outside the clinic, I take numerous continuing education classes, attend conferences and seminars, and participate in several professional study groups.

Considering Dental Implants?

At Burnaby Heights Dental Centre, our dentists do everything they can to give you a beautiful smile and help you keep your natural teeth. However, life can be unpredictable, and at some point, you may find yourself with a damaged or lost tooth. If that happens, you may need dental implants.

For many years, the only options for treating missing teeth were dentures or bridges. But thanks to advances in dental technology, dental implants are now a viable option.

Dental implants are a long-lasting and safe way to replace your damaged or missing teeth. Let’s see if they are the right choice for you.

Who Might Need Dental Implants?

Dental implant procedures are just one of the many services we offer our patients.

If you have a damaged or lost tooth, you have options available to you. You may need to replace just one tooth, or perhaps you need to replace several. If you need dentures, however, that is a different procedure. Either way, your dentist will help you determine the best course of action.

If you find yourself in a situation that resulted in damaged or missing teeth, you may need dental implants. In order to be a good candidate for a dental implant procedure, you must have healthy gums and a strong jawbone so that the implants can be installed properly.

Contact our office today and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to see if you are a candidate for implants. We can set up a consultation at which point your dentist will examine your teeth and your overall oral health to determine if this procedure is right for you.

What Are Dental Implants, Exactly?

A dental implant is a tiny metal screw (essentially an artificial tooth root) made of titanium. This surgical fixture is inserted into your jawbone, and a replacement tooth is attached to it. The implant acts as a sort of anchor to hold the new tooth in place.

The dental implant process is a quick and effective solution for patients who are looking to replace their missing or damaged teeth and restore their smile and self-confidence.

What Can I Expect at My Appointment?

Your dentist will do a thorough examination of your mouth and take x-rays of your head, jaw and teeth to be sure that you are a candidate for the procedure.
Once you are qualified to receive dental implants, your dentist will place the dental implant into your jawbone beneath your gum tissue. As the gum tissue heals (which can sometimes take a few months), the implant will bond with the bone and attach to the gum.
Once the gum tissue has healed, your dentist will attach an abutment to the implant. (Abutment is the name given to the post that connects the replacement tooth to the implant.)
The artificial replacement tooth is then attached to the abutment.
If you are replacing several or all of your teeth, a fixed bridge will be anchored to your dental implants.

Dental implants at our clinic typically take two visits to install: one to fit the screw, and one to install the false tooth. Please note that all bone structures and all patients are different. Your procedure may take longer or involve more steps (such as bone augmentation) than the steps above.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Damaged or missing teeth can impact our lives immensely. Dental implants help by restoring your everyday functions such as chewing, eating, and speaking confidently. They can also prevent adjacent teeth from drifting into improper positions.

Here are some additional benefits of dental implants:

Durability
Low maintenance
Look and feel like natural teeth
Boost and restore your confidence
