What are 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 is Done During a Dental Implant Procedure?
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.
What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer several benefits over other tooth replacement options such as dentures or bridges:
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.
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.
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 is the Cost of a Dental Implant?
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.
