Whether you’re missing teeth, have cracked or worn teeth, or are considering dental implants for another reason, we’re proud to work with a team of expert Periodontists to bring patients the quality and effective results they deserve.

Dental implants are generally a solution for patients dealing with:

    • One or more missing teeth
    • Cracked, chipped or worn teeth
    • Individuals who don’t want dentures

The Implant Process

First, we’ll need to make sure you’re a candidate for dental implants, which involves taking a scan of your mouth and bone structure. Implants require enough bone to fuse to the implant to hold it securely in place.
If you aren’t a candidate, don’t worry–we have a number of other options that may be perfect for you and allow you to achieve the smile of your dreams.
If you are a candidate for implants, the next step is a placement appointment with our recommended Periodontist, who has the highest level of training for implants.

They’ll place the implant in your mouth along with a temporary tooth and 12 weeks later (after you’ve healed), you’ll return for final placement of your permanent tooth that will look, feel and function just as a natural tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don’t have enough bone material in my jaw?

Not having enough bone to hold the implant in your jaw doesn’t mean that you can’t get a dental implant. It may, however, be necessary to have a bone graft procedure before you can move forward with the process of getting a dental implant.

How long will my implants last?

With proper care, implants can last much longer than a decade. You’ll need to maintain proper oral health habits and be sure to visit us for your six-monthly appointments.

Will my dental implant be noticeable?

Not at all. We colour-match the restoration on top of your implant, whether you have a dental crown, dental bridge or denture attached to it. It will fit seamlessly in with your existing teeth.
