Understanding implants

An implant is a post that is placed into a precisely-prepared site in the jaw. Bone fuses solidly with the implant, replicating the root of a tooth. The tooth implant process is then finished with a visible restoration. A dental implant is the only tooth replacement method that becomes part of the body, rather than sitting on top of gum tissue. This helps to maintain youthful-looking facial bone structure, and with good oral hygiene, an implant can last as long as natural teeth.

When Brampton, ON patients may choose dental implants

Many times, an implant is topped with a porcelain crown to restore a single missing tooth. However, this technique presents many other possibilities:

• Multiple implants – Implants are an alternative to a removable partial denture for missing teeth at various locations in an arch.
• Full mouth dental implants – With IV and general anesthesia and bone grafting services on site, as many teeth as you’d like can be replaced with implants.
• Fixed bridge – Requiring just two implants, this prosthetic can be a cost-effective way to replace a span of up to five missing teeth. Healthy adjacent teeth are not impacted.
• Implant-retained denture – Are you tired of dentures that slip, wobble, or rub sore spots? An entire arch of teeth – your denture or one we design for you – snaps over as few as four dental implants, for amazing stability.
• Teeth in a Day – This option can be ideal for a patient who does not want to leave without a denture. Tooth extraction and placement of dental implants are performed in ONE visit.  At the same time, implants are ten immediately “loaded” with an affixed set of teeth, designed and fabricated in advance from impressions of your mouth.
