Dental Implants

Dental Implants are medical grade artificial roots that are placed in areas of missing teeth that will act as an anchor to your jaw bone so that dental crowns can be used to replace those missing teeth. Are you missing one or more teeth? Do you find it difficult to smile or eat comfortably? Dental implants offer a long-term solution to restore your smile and improve your oral health. At Carlton Dental, we can help you replace your missing teeth with tooth implants in Toronto.

What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer several benefits over other tooth replacement options such as dentures or bridges:

  1. They provide a fixed solution, as they are designed to fuse with the jawbone and become a part of your natural oral structure. This ensures stability and durability.

  2. Dental implant crowns are custom-made to match the shape, colour, and size of your natural teeth, resulting in a seamless smile. Unlike removable dentures, implants eliminate the worry of slippage or discomfort while speaking or eating.

  3. Dental implants preserve the integrity of your jawbone. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone begins to deteriorate over time. Implants stimulate the bone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.

What to Expect on Visit

During a dental implant procedure, the following will be done:

  • On the day of the surgery, the dentist will administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. They will then make small incisions in the gums and carefully place the dental implants into the jawbone. The incisions are then stitched closed, and the healing process begins.

  • Following the surgery, it is essential to follow your dentist's post-operative instructions diligently. This may include taking prescribed medications, applying ice packs to reduce swelling, and maintaining a soft food diet during the initial healing period. Regular check-ups will be scheduled to monitor the progress of your implants.

  • Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, the restorative phase begins. Your dentist will attach small connector pieces called abutments to the implants. These abutments serve as anchors for the replacement teeth. Impressions of your teeth will be taken to create customized crowns that match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.

How much do Dental Implants cost?

The cost of a dental implant can range anywhere between $4500 to $6000 per tooth. The cost can vary because adjunct procedures may be required to place the implant such as bone grafting. Implants can be used as anchor points for bridges so the cost for an implant bridge will be different compared to a single implant and implant crown.

At Carlton Dental in downtown Toronto, we follow the ODA Fee Guide so that you can be ensured you are getting affordable dental care.

 FAQs

  • Compared to dentures or bridges, dental implants offer distinct advantages. While dentures can slip or cause discomfort, implants provide a secure and stable solution. Additionally, dental implants do not require adjacent teeth to be filed down, unlike bridges also allowing you to floss naturally.

  • The dental implant procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort during the surgery. Some post-operative soreness can be expected but can be managed with prescribed medications.

  • In general, most individuals with good oral health are suitable candidates for dental implants. However, factors such as gum disease, smoking, and certain medical conditions may affect the success of the procedure.

  • The duration of the dental implant process varies depending on individual cases. On average, it can take several months to complete, allowing for proper healing and integration of the implants with the jawbone.

  • With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant itself is very durable, though the crown or denture attached to it may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to wear.

  • Dental implants offer a more permanent and stable solution compared to dentures or bridges. They look and function like natural teeth, prevent bone loss, and don’t require the support of adjacent teeth. However, implants are more expensive and require surgery.

  • Initial recovery takes about 1 to 2 weeks, during which swelling, bruising, or mild pain may occur. However, the full healing and integration of the implant with the bone (osseointegration) takes 3 to 6 months.

  • Care for implants like natural teeth—brush and floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups. Good oral hygiene is crucial to prevent infections or complications that could affect the implant’s longevity.

  • Yes, dental implants can replace multiple teeth. In cases of several missing teeth, implants can support a bridge or a full arch of replacement teeth (implant-supported dentures).

  • In some cases, an implant can be placed immediately after tooth extraction. However, for others, it may be necessary to wait 3 to 6 months to allow the extraction site to heal before placing the implant. Your dentist will evaluate your situation and recommend the best timeline.
