Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from titanium metal. They are used to securely and permanently replace natural teeth that are missing or damaged beyond repair.
A dental implant can be used to support a crown and replace a single missing tooth, or to support a bridge for multiple missing teeth.
A dental implant is surgically implanted into your jawbone. As it heals, the jawbone grows around the implant and strengthens to keep it in place. Once your mouth has sufficiently healed, your dentist will secure a custom crown on the implant.
Types of Dental Implants
A single-tooth implant is placed to fill the gap created by one missing tooth. The implant is topped with a crown that is custom-designed to fit your mouth and match the colour of the surrounding teeth.
An implant-supported bridge is used to fill the gap if you’re missing several teeth in a row. Rather than fixing the bridge to your natural teeth, 2 or more implants are placed to anchor the bridge, filling the gap and preserving the alignment of your teeth, while maintaining a secure and natural feel.
Bone Grafting
Over time, the jawbone that is associated with missing teeth can atrophy and be reabsorbed by the body. If this occurs, your jaw may not have sufficient bone structure to support an implant. We may recommend a bone graft prior to implants in order to create a secure attachment.
As well, missing bone in the jaw can affect functionality and appearance. By performing a bone graft, we can address all of these concerns.
Our skilled team is trained to perform bone graft procedures. This process involves grafting a piece of bone or synthetic material to the weakened jawbone. After the graft surgery, our team will monitor your healing process and determine when it’s appropriate to proceed with the dental implant process.
This is a highly individualized process, and we will be sure to provide you with thorough information and guidance throughout.
