Dental Implants

Implants are used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. These can alter the shape of the mouth and the overall look of the face. Gaps in the teeth can hinder the ability to bite and chew certain foods. Gaps in the smile left by missing teeth can diminish confidence and be a source of insecurity.

Advantages of Dental Implants

Dental Implants provide a natural-feeling solution for these issues. Implants often feel more secure than traditional removable dentures and can even be used to provide support to a full denture. This results in the ability to eat and speak with greater comfort and confidence. In cases where several adjacent teeth are missing, a fixed bridge can be attached to implants as an alternative to a removable partial denture plate.

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the jaw where a tooth is missing. As the area heals, the bone naturally grows around the implant, holding it securely in place. Once the implant has fully healed, a custom-made replacement tooth (crown) is attached to the top of the implant. The result is a strong, natural-looking tooth that looks, feels, and functions much like your own.

Dental implant surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure using local anaesthesia. Most people are able to return to their normal daily activities within a day or two, depending on the treatment provided and their individual healing response. After the implant is placed, the jawbone gradually heals around it over several months, creating a stable foundation for the replacement tooth. While no dental procedure can guarantee a specific outcome, dental implants have a high long-term success rate when carefully planned, properly placed, and maintained with good oral hygiene and regular dental care.

Dental Implant Procedure

Consultation

We evaluate your oral health, bone density, and overall suitability for implants. Preparatory treatments, such as extractions or bone grafting, may be recommended if required.

Treatment Planning

Using digital imaging and impressions, a personalized plan is created, detailing the number of implants, type, and timeline for restoration.

Implant Placement

The implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. Sedation options are available to ensure comfort during the procedure.

Healing

Over several months, the implant naturally integrates with the jawbone, providing a stable base for your restoration. Temporary teeth may be worn during this period.

Abutment & Restoration

Once fully healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, and your custom crown, bridge, or denture is securely placed, restoring your smile and function.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Natural Appearance

Crowns are custom-made to match the shape, colour, and size of your natural teeth.

Bone Health

Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent deterioration and maintain facial structure.

Versatility

Implants can support single crowns, bridges, or full-arch replacements.

Enhanced Function

Enjoy normal chewing and speaking without slipping or discomfort.

Long-Lasting Results

With proper care, implants can last many years, often a lifetime.

Types of Dental Implants

Titanium Implants

The most widely used dental implant, titanium is strong, lightweight, and biocompatible. Titanium implants provide a reliable foundation for single crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations and are suitable for areas requiring significant chewing force.

Zirconia Implants

Zirconia implants are made from a white ceramic material, making them a popular choice for patients prioritizing aesthetics. They integrate well with bone and gum tissue, offering a natural appearance for anterior (front) teeth while providing a stable, durable foundation.

Single-tooth vs. Multiple-tooth Implants

Single Implant: Replaces one missing tooth with a custom crown.

Implant-Supported Bridge: Replaces multiple adjacent teeth using two or more implants to anchor a bridge.

Full-Arch Implant (All-on-4): Replaces an entire upper or lower arch with four strategically placed implants supporting a full set of teeth.

Immediate-Load Implants

In select cases, temporary teeth can be placed on the same day as the implant procedure, providing immediate function and aesthetics while osseointegration occurs.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Overall health is taken into consideration when determining candidacy for dental implant surgery. The major limiting factor in determining candidacy is whether there is sufficient bone remaining to accept the implant. This is determined with the use of x-rays as well as a thorough examination of oral tissues and supporting bone.

Our comprehensive dental implants service includes options for single dental implants, as well as solutions for multiple teeth or complete arches.
