Dental Implant in Oakville

If one or more of your teeth are missing, dental implants are a fantastic way to replace them. They are often an alternative to removable partial dentures or bridges, but as a permanent, fixed option, most patients prefer them as they function like a natural tooth.

Dental implants are generally done in two stages. The first stage involves placement of the titanium post (the implant) which is generally performed by a dental specialist, such as a periodontist. Once the implant has healed, it is then restored with a crown (the tooth) by your general dentist.

While many patients are excellent candidates for dental implants, your overall dental and periodontal health needs to be healthy enough to ensure you won’t have problems with the implant in the future. Also, not everyone has enough bone present for the implant in which case, additional procedures may need to be completed first (ie. Bone grafting or sinus lifting).
