Dental implants are metal posts surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums to provide stable support for artificial teeth. Some people who have lost bone in their jaw can still get implants, but first, the bone must be augmented with a bone graft. Dentures and bridges mounted to dental implants won’t slip or shift in your mouth, making you feel more comfortable and confident about eating and speaking. After receiving implants, regular follow-up visits are essential.

Approx. 2 hours, performed immediately. A bone graft is performed to support the healing process and prepare the site for future implant placement.
Approx. 15 minutes, 3-4 months post-extraction. A 3D Cone Beam Scan is conducted to assess healing progress. The doctor will determine the appropriate time for implant placement.
Approx. 2 hours, following your follow-up visit. A titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone to serve as a foundation for the new tooth. If the implant is placed in the upper arch, a sinus lift may be necessary to augment the bone due to its proximity to the sinuses.
For the best long-term outcome, it is important to have a healthy oral environment and reduced stress on the implant. As with any teeth, grinding habits, poor oral hygiene, and malocclusion (uneven bite) can cause loosening of the implant.
Here's what your first visit will look like:

Initial healing typically takes about one to two weeks, while the jawbone fully fuses with the implant over several months before the final restoration is placed. Regular follow-up visits help us monitor healing along the way.
1. Partial and full dentures - Partial and full dentures can be used to replace single or multiple missing teeth. Partial dentures have metal clasps that snap onto the adjacent teeth. Dentures are used when all teeth (upper, lower or both) have been lost. All types of dentures are always removable.
2. Bridge - A bridge helps fill the gap in the mouth where a tooth is missing. The teeth adjacent to this space are filed down to accommodate crowns. A false tooth is attached to these two new crowns, and “bridges” the gap.
A dental implant is a treatment for patients with missing teeth. It works as a root for replacement teeth. The implant body is made from titanium that “fuses” with the bone. The implant is considered a long-term replacement. The replacement teeth are connected to the implant so they are anchored in place. They are as close to natural teeth as you can get; they look, feel and perform similarly to your natural teeth.
Bone grows and bonds to the implant surface and acts like a natural tooth.
Implant supported restorations look and feel natural, there is no visible difference.
Implants transmit chewing forces to the jawbone, which helps maintain and preserve bone and facial structure. If tooth roots are missing, these forces cease, and the bone may slowly recede and cause shifting teeth and facial shape changes.
