Dental Implants
Are you fed up wearing your old, uncomfortable, stained dentures? Do you wish to enjoy all your favorite foods without worrying about your dentures slipping? If yes, say goodbye to your dentures and say hello to dental implants Oakville.
What are Dental Implants?
According to the Canadian Dental Association, a dental implant is an artificial tooth root which is inserted into the jawbone. An implant is made of titanium, and it serves as a replacement root for an artificial tooth. Once the implant has become firmly anchored into the jawbone, our dentists in Oakville will place a suitable prosthesis over it to replace the missing tooth.
Since dental implants Oakville are inserted directly into bone, they look, function, and feel just like natural teeth. This is why dental implants have become the most popular tooth replacement option worldwide. With dental implants, you will not only enjoy a beautiful smile, but your ability to speak and eat normally will be restored.
What is the Process of Getting Dental Implants?
Initial Consultation and Treatment Planning
During your first appointment, we will perform a detailed clinical examination and note down the number and location of your missing teeth. We will also look at the X-ray images and digital models of your teeth from various angles. This will allow us to prepare a comprehensive treatment plan and ascertain whether tooth implants Oakville are the right option for you.
Implant Placement
At the next appointment, we will place the implant at pre-determined positions in your jawbone. First, we will make an incision over the soft tissues covering the jawbone.
Next, we will carefully screw in the implant into the jawbone using controlle forces. Once the implant is in place, we will place a healing collar over the implant to ensure uninterrupted healing. We will also place a temporary crown over the implant to restore your facial aesthetics.
Don’t worry, we provide pain free treatment Oakville during implant placement by administering local anaesthesia. So, you can sit back and relax while we restore your smile and replace your teeth.
Implant Prosthesis
After 4 – 6 months, we will look at the X-ray images of the implant site to determine whether it has healed sufficiently. If the implant has become firmly anchored within the jawbone, we will remove the temporary crown and replace it with an aesthetically pleasing and durable zirconia crown.
That’s it. You’re now a proud owner of a healthy and lasting smile with implants Oakville.
Why You Should Consider Dental Implants?
Durability
With proper treatment planning, care and oral hygiene maintenance, you can expect your dental implants to last for a lifetime!
Convenience
Dental implants completely restore one’s chewing ability and allow you to eat all your favorite foods without any restrictions.
Aesthetics
Dental implants are, by far, the most aesthetically pleasing tooth replacement option currently available.
Bone Conservation
A problem associated with prolonged denture wearing is that they exert pressure on the underlying bone and cause resorption. This problem is eliminated by implants. Dental implants not only prevent bone resorption but also promote new bone formation around them.
