Dental implants are a reliable and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth, whether you need to replace one tooth, several teeth or an entire set of teeth. The process begins with the surgical placement of an implant post into the jawbone. This post replaces your tooth root, performing all the same functions as the natural root to provide a strong foundation and ensure the stability of your teeth, implant and smile.
Once the post is placed, a healing period follows to allow the jawbone to bond with the biocompatible post. This integration, known as osseointegration, is crucial for the success of the implant, as it creates a secure anchor for the replacement tooth.
After the healing period, Dr. Daryl Robertson will create and attach the implant restoration to the post. Depending on your specific needs, this restoration could be a crown, a bridge, or even a full or partial denture. Each restoration is custom-made to match the color, shape and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and comfortable fit.
Dental implants offer numerous benefits beyond just filling the gap left by a missing tooth. They help maintain the structure of your face by preventing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss. This means your smile will not only be restored but preserved for the future. Additionally, implants function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with complete confidence.
Proper care of your dental implants is essential for their longevity. With good oral hygiene practices and regular dental checkups, your implants can last a lifetime.
It is important to note that anyone who has lost a tooth is a candidate for implant dentistry. Our dentist will evaluate your teeth and mouth during your initial consultation to determine if an implant is the right choice for you. Depending on your oral health, you may need to receive additional treatments, such as bone grafting or periodontal therapy, before you can receive an implant. Dr. Robertson will discuss all your options with you so you can make a fully informed decision regarding your care.
