“I’m Missing A Tooth. Do I Need A Dental Implant?”
For many years, the leading edge in prosthetic tooth replacement was the denture. While still a popular choice, advancements in dental implants have made them the preferred choice. Dental implants are another restorative dentistry option for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants have the benefit of being able to be permanently affixed in place, restoring the natural-appearing beauty and function to your teeth. If you’ve experienced the loss of one or more of your teeth, it may be time to consider rebuilding your smile with dental implants.
Replacing missing or cracked teeth with implants is a great long-term investment. They function like your normal teeth and are extremely durable. You can continue on with regular eating and day-to-day activities without worrying about damaging your teeth.
Because implants are designed to look like your natural teeth, you won’t even be able to tell a difference, especially at the hands of our experienced dentists at Dunwin Dental Mississauga.
Dental implants can dramatically change your smile, giving you confidence and comfort that you haven’t experienced in years. If you’re thinking about getting dental implants, you can schedule a complimentary consultation at our dental office.
We discuss various implant options during your first visit that allows you to explore the possibilities and process of getting dental implants, with no commitment. Our goal is to provide you with transparent information that will help you make an informed decision about your own outcome. We will take photographs, x-rays, and possibly impressions of your teeth during this visit, so we can better assess your situation and give you the most detailed information possible.
A titanium implant is placed into the bone, beneath the gum tissue. We then place a healing cap over the implant and stitch the gums. We may replace the gap in your smile with a temporary tooth until your healing is complete.
Healing can take anywhere from 2 to 6 months for the implant to merge with the bone.
After this time, we check your healing, then take an impression of the implant and gums to design a custom fit crown.
