Dental Implants in Toronto

Bloor Dufferin Dental Centre

Crowns and conventional bridges or dentures may not be your only options when replacing missing teeth. For some people, dental implants offer a smile that looks and feels very natural.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are restorative procedures that allow patients to replace missing teeth with ones that look, feel, and perform like their own. A titanium screw or post is surgically placed below the gums over a series of appointments. Implants fuse to the jawbone and serve as a base for individual replacement teeth to be applied on top of it.

Dental Implant Procedures

1. The implant dentist makes a precise incision in the gums, creating a hole to accommodate the dental implant. The dental implant is then inserted and secured in the jawbone.
2. After the oral surgery, the bone is given time to grow and fuse around the implant base. This process can take 3- 6 months depending on individual circumstances.
3. Once the implant successfully anchors in the jaw, artificial teeth will be attached to restore a beautiful smile.

Why should I choose dental implants over other alternatives?

Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural. Some people also find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes.

Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. Patients are encouraged to visit Bloor Dufferin Dental Centre for a thorough evaluation. Book an appointment at our Bloor dental office to find out if you are a good candidate for dental implants.
