What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone that act like artificial tooth roots. Once healed, they can support crowns, bridges, or dentures, providing a secure and long-lasting foundation that mimics the strength and feel of natural teeth.

Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, implants provide a stable base for a complete smile and reliable function.

How Are Dental Implants Placed?

Implants are typically placed in a few stages:

Consultation & planning: Your dentist will evaluate your oral health, bone density, and overall readiness for implants. We’ll also answer any questions you may have.
Surgical placement: A small titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, the bone fuses to the implant in a process called osseointegration.
Healing period: Healing generally takes a few months, allowing the implant to become securely anchored.
Restoration: A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, completing your restoration.

We’ll walk you through every step to make sure you feel prepared and supported throughout the process.

Why Replace Missing Teeth?

Replacing missing teeth can help support:

Your bite and chewing ability
Clearer speech
Facial structure and appearance
Nearby teeth, preventing shifting or misalignment
Long-term oral health

Over time, empty spaces in your smile can lead to changes in your bite, jawbone loss, and increased wear on your remaining teeth. Implants offer a way to help maintain both the look and health of your smile without relying on neighbouring teeth for support.

Who Should Consider Dental Implants?

Dental implants may be a good option if:

You’re missing one or more teeth
You have a healthy jawbone and gums
You don’t want to rely on removable dentures
You’re looking for a durable, low-maintenance solution

Even if you’ve been missing teeth for a while or wear dentures, we can assess your bone support and overall oral health to determine if implants could work for you.

Implant-Retained Dentures

If you already wear dentures, dental implants can be used to stabilize them, transforming your experience. Implant-retained dentures “snap” into place, helping to reduce slipping, improve comfort, and allow for a more natural bite.

Our patients often talk about being able to enjoy foods like steak and corn on the cob again. In some cases, we can even remove the upper palate portion of the denture, improving your ability to taste and speak.
