Dental Implants Are Natural-Looking Solutions
To Tooth Loss & Damage

Tooth Replacement For Dental Implants

Bone loss of the jaw often occurs where teeth are missing. Dental implants slow this process down and act as roofs for replacement of missing teeth.

The implant consists of threaded titanium or post, surgically placed into the jawbone. If the procedure is successful, the surrounding bone flows into the microscopic surface of the implant making it secure. This process is called Osseointegration. Once the implant has healed, a replacement tooth (Crown) can be put in place. The entire procedure usually rakes 6-8 months. Most patients do not experience any disruption in their daily life. Implants have a high success rate and can last indefinitely if properly cared for. Unlike bridges they don’t require preparation or drilling of healthy neighboring teeth.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Improved Self Confidence

One of the most frequent things we hear from patients that are missing teeth is that they are embarrassed by their smile. No dentist wants to hear that a patient is disappointed by their smile. Focus on living your life rather than hiding your smile. Dental implants and customized dental crowns can easily restore your confidence as they look just like natural teeth. The process is easy, worry-free, and affordable in the long run. Get back to living your life to the fullest with dental crowns.

Improved Bone Strength

One reason we urge our patients to consider dental implants is, the longer you go with missing teeth, the likelier you are to experience bone loss. Even if you just have one missing tooth, your jawbone can begin to weaken and not be able to fully support the rest of your teeth, leaving you susceptible to gum disease. The only way to fix a weakened jawbone would be by undergoing a bone grafting procedure. By having dental implants placed, you can prevent your bone from deteriorating and keep your jaw strong.

Improved Bite and Chew

Having missing natural teeth can drastically decrease your ability to comfortably bite and chew food. While dentures are an option, they can slip around too and have to be removed afterward to be cleaned. With dental implants, however, they offer a durable, strong bite and chew, and are cleaned when you brush your teeth. Curious as to when you can eat normally after dental implants? Toronto surgeons suggest waiting at least two weeks before trying to get back to your normal diet again so your tooth implants have a chance to heal. This means you’ll need to stick to soft and non-sticky foods for a bit to ensure they don’t come loose from the bone.

Improved Speech

Not only can tooth loss cause drastic bone loss and digestion issues, but it can also leave patients with speech impediments that they end up feeling embarrassed about. A dental implant may help reverse or prevent speech problems since they provide a reliable structure for your mouth and keep your tongue from slipping. Unlike dentures that can easily slip around, dental implants are permanent.

Improved Facial Structure

Did you know that your teeth are supporting your cheeks and your lips? If you have large gaps in your teeth, collapsing can occur and cause unwanted facial changes. In order to keep your cheeks and lips looking plump and full, you need healthy gums that can support dental implants.

A Long-Term, Worry-Free Solution

Although a denture is a more affordable option, its low cost comes at a price. Dentures are inconvenient, removable appliances that need to be removed and cleaned frequently. Some foods are even impossible to eat with a denture. An implant can be the best method of treatment because of its natural appearance and permanent placement in your mouth. They can also last a long time with the proper care. Dental implants are the best option for those who want a worry-free solution for absent teeth.
