Dental Implants: The Premier Solution for Replacing Missing Teeth
Restoring Your Smile with Dental Implants
At Fort York Dentist, we understand the impact that missing teeth can have on your confidence and overall oral health. Dental implants offer a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth, providing a durable, natural-looking, and functional replacement. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants can restore your smile and improve your quality of life.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible materials, typically titanium, which are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once in place, these implants provide a stable foundation for attaching custom-made dental crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants are designed to look and function like natural teeth, offering a long-term solution to tooth loss.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Natural Appearance: Implants closely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. The custom crowns or prosthetics placed on the implants are crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, creating a seamless smile.
- Durability: Implants are made from high-quality materials that are highly durable and resistant to wear. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective long-term solution.
- Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to maintain its density and prevent bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss. This process, known as osseointegration, ensures that the implant integrates securely with the bone.
- Improved Function: Dental implants restore full chewing function, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without difficulty. They also help in maintaining proper bite alignment and speech clarity.
- Comfort and Stability: Unlike removable dentures, implants are permanently fixed in place, providing a stable and comfortable solution that eliminates the need for adhesives and reduces the risk of slipping.
The Dental Implant Procedure
- Consultation and Planning: During your initial consultation, we will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan that includes detailed imaging to assess bone density and determine the ideal placement for the implants.
- Implant Placement: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically requires only a few hours. After placement, a healing period of several months is necessary for the implant to integrate with the bone.
- Abutment Placement: Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, an abutment (connector) is attached to the implant. This serves as the base for the final restoration.
- Crown or Prosthetic Placement: A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is then attached to the abutment, completing the restoration. We will ensure that the final prosthetic matches your natural teeth and provides optimal function and comfort.
- Follow-Up Care: We will schedule follow-up visits to monitor the health of the implant and ensure that everything is functioning as expected. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential to maintain the longevity of your implants.
