Why Choose Dental Implants?
While there are many different tooth replacement options, dental implants are by far one of the best ways to restore your smile. Some dental implant benefits include:
Natural-looking results
Dental implants provide excellent aesthetic results
A lifetime of smiles
Dental implants, when properly cared for, can be expected to last a very long time, sometimes a lifetime.
Durability & function
Dental implants are the closest thing you can get to your natural teeth when it comes to function. They are anchored in the bone and feel very secure.
Eat the foods you want
With dental implants, you can enjoy all the foods you want without worrying about slipping dentures or painful chewing.
Non-invasive procedure
Unlike some other tooth replacement options, dental implants have little or no impact on the adjacent teeth.
Preservation of bone
Missing teeth can accelerate bone loss, even in individuals who are otherwise healthy. Dental implants can help to preserve your bone.
Increased confidence
Say goodbye to worrying about the embarrassment of ill-fitting dentures or missing teeth.

How the Dental Implant Procedure Works
Did you know that the dental implant procedure can be completed in 3 simple steps?
Implant Placement
During the first appointment, the dental implant is securely placed in the bone at the designated site. Often, only a local anesthetic is required for implant placement.
Waiting for Healing
For a dental implant to function as desired, we must wait until the site is fully healed and the bone has completely attached around the implant before proceeding with the permanent crown placement. Sometimes, a temporary restoration is added during the implant healing period, but most often, the implant is concealed under the gum tissue during this stage.
Your New Tooth is Attached:
After healing is complete, your dentist will attach a custom-made crown to your implant, providing you with a natural-looking and fully functional new tooth.
What are some advantages of Dental Implants over other options?
No need to touch uninvolved teeth
When placing a traditional bridge, we often have to do some preparation to the teeth neighbouring the space. This can involve drilling into otherwise healthy teeth, which can weaken their structure over time. Dental implants are independent of other teeth and therefor do not require any treatment on the adjacent teeth.
Decreased bone loss and bone loss prevention
Because dental implants are fixed right into the jawbone, they can actually help to reduce bone loss. Bone loss occurs after tooth loss when there is no stimulation to the bone from biting and chewing forces. With traditional bridges and dentures, you do not get this type of stimulation and over time, the bone deteriorates. Dental Implants help to keep your jawbone healthy.
Comfort & Fit
Traditional dentures can be uncomfortable and ill-fitting. The fit can even change over time based on factors such as weight fluctuations and bone loss. Dental implants offer the closest feeling to your natural teeth. You won’t be able to feel them at all.
Aesthetics and Function
Dental implants offer much better functionality than other tooth replacement options. They can withstand similar forces to your natural teeth, while dentures only offer a small percentage of the chewing capability. They are also virtually undetectable - They will look and feel like your natural teeth.
Variety of Options
Implants replace your teeth and are fixed in place, so again beyond normal oral hygiene you do not need to take care of them.

Some common dental implant questions that we hear a lot are:
How long do dental implants last?
When properly cared for, dental implants can often last a lifetime.
Does it hurt to get a dental implant?
The dental implant procedure is no more uncomfortable than having your tooth removed in the first place. Usually, only local anesthesia is required.
How long does it take to get a dental implant?
A single dental implant is generally completed in two simple steps, with a healing phase of 3-4 months between the placement of the implant and the attachment of the permanent crown.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for implants?
Believe it or not, most people are candidates for dental implants. Age is usually not a factor, and many health conditions have little or no impact on eligibility for dental implants.
How much do dental implants cost?
There is a range of fees for dental implants. These fees depend on the type of implant procedure you are seeking and the number of implants required. We will always provide you with a written estimate before your appointment.
Will my dental insurance pay for a dental implant?
Many insurance companies will cover a portion of the dental implant expense. We can help you to understand what your insurance will cover, and we can send estimates before the procedure to ensure there are no surprises.
When can I eat after surgery?
While a soft food diet is often recommended for a short period of time after implant placement, you can eat or drink almost immediately after the procedure.
