Dental implants replace tooth roots of missing teeth. They are made of a biocompatible material (titanium) that gets incorporated into your jawbone. Implants provide a strong foundation and support for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match and work as close as possible to your natural teeth.
Losing a tooth or multiple teeth can be life changing, implants are a great option for a replacement of missing teeth and usually take 3 appointments.
First step is to have a comprehensive exam to assess if you’re a right candidate for a dental implant. Special x-rays may be taken to assess the quality, high and thickness of the bone in the area where the dental implant may be placed.
Step 2 is the Dental implant placement, there are multiple techniques and types of implants that can be used. The decision on the procedure is determined from step 1 and the best option for your situation is chosen.
Step 3 is when the dental implant is restored with a crown, bridge, or a denture.

The timeline for your specific situation will be discussed with you during your comprehensive exam and consultation (step 1).

if you’re missing a single tooth, dental implants are a great choice for the right candidate. They replace the root of your missing tooth thereby maintaining the bone level of your jawbone. They also replace the crown of your tooth with a prosthetic crown that matches the colour and shape of the adjacent teeth in your mouth as much as possible.
An implant supported bridge or partial denture is a great option for replacing multiple missing teeth. Several dental implants will be placed depending on the circumstances, and then a bridge or a removable partial denture will be fixed to the dental implants.
An implant supported denture is an excellent choice for replacing missing teeth. The advantage is that the dentures may be smaller and more comfortable, and more stable. They will not cover the roof of your mouth, which will help with tasting and speech. Implant supported dentures are the closest thing to getting your natural teeth back, especially once you have had complete dentures for many years. They are also less expensive than placing individual implants to replace all missing teeth.

The missing tooth can lead to a chain reaction. Adjacent teeth can collapse into the gap, while teeth in the opposing jaw can grow into the gap. Missing teeth can affect nutrition and well-being, as the types of food that can be consumed is often limited, hence resulting in deficiencies in vitamins and nutrients. The gums having a good health is something we look for to see if someone is a candidate. Are the person’s gums showing signs of stress? Does the patient use mouthwash, floss and brush their teeth twice daily? If these are all true, the person may be a candidate for dental implants.

If you have loose and uncomfortable dentures, or advanced dental disease, teeth on 4 can help you replace all your teeth, regain your smile and confidence and allow you to continue life without the stress and embarrassment of dental problems. Most healthy people are able to benefit from teeth on 4. If you are interested to see whether teeth on 4 could work for you, or if you have any questions, you can schedule an appointment with us.
In most cases, All-On-4 dental implants are a cheaper alternative to paying to replace each tooth individually. When you compare All-on-4 to other treatment forms that require bone grafting, it costs less and requires fewer appointments.
Since there are only 4 anchor points as opposed to individual anchor throughout the mouth, there is less recovery time and pain associated with the procedure. All-on-4 not only reduces the number of implants required but increases the success rate and provides for simpler maintenance and easier cleaning.
The four titanium anchor points allow the dental sets to permanently secure to your mouth. This means they will not loosen or shift as you can see with traditional dentures. Implants can be inserted at an angle which allows us to avoid sections of the jawbone with poor bone quality. As a result, there is no need for bone grafting and the entire healing process is expedited. You can have your new teeth fitted within 24 hours of the surgery.
The benefits are undeniable: With All-on-4® you can enjoy better outcomes in terms of functionality, look and feel than you would with older, more invasive methods. Your dentist can match the colour and shape of your implants to your original natural teeth or enhance the colour and shape to your desire, giving you the smile, you have always wanted.
We offer a range of implant services with our specialists. We are able to replace a missing, failing tooth or even an entire set of teeth in one day, giving you back the ability to enjoy your favourite foods and smile with confidence.
If you are missing a single tooth, one implant and a crown can replace it. A dental implant replaces both the lost natural tooth and its root. A dental implant provides many advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like a natural tooth, a dental implant replaces a single tooth without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth. The other common treatment for the loss of a single tooth, a tooth-supported fixed bridge, requires that adjacent teeth be ground down to support the cemented bridge.
If you are missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them. Other common treatments for the loss of several teeth, such as fixed bridges or removable partial dentures, are dependent on support from adjacent teeth. In addition, because implant-supported bridges will replace some of your tooth roots, your bone is better preserved. Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, helping to keep the bone healthy and intact. In the long term, implants are esthetic, functional and comfortable.
One or all of these setbacks can be easily rectified by simply choosing dental implants.
