If you are looking for a safe and effective solution for one or more missing teeth, dental implants could be the perfect option for you! Heritage Dental Centre is pleased to offer dental implants as a durable and long-lasting foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function just like your natural teeth.

What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone at the sites of missing teeth, acting as replacements for natural tooth roots. Through a process called osseointegration, these implants fuse securely with the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for artificial replacement teeth. This innovative approach ensures that the replacement teeth not only look like natural teeth, but also function in the same way.

For those who may not be suitable candidates for traditional options like dentures or bridges, dental implants offer a reliable and effective alternative. In cases where natural tooth roots are absent, dental implants can overcome the limitations of other tooth replacement methods. Dental implants provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth, enhancing both the appearance and functionality of the smile while promoting better oral health and overall well-being.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer numerous benefits, making them a highly effective and long-lasting solution for tooth replacement. A key advantage is their ability to provide a strong and stable foundation that closely replicates natural tooth roots. This stability ensures a secure and comfortable fit for artificial teeth while allowing for optimal chewing function, enabling individuals to enjoy a wide variety of foods without restrictions.

Additionally, dental implants help preserve jawbone density by preventing bone loss often associated with missing teeth. Unlike traditional teeth replacement options such as dentures or bridges, implants stimulate the jawbone through osseointegration, maintaining the strength and structure of the jawbone. Dentures also offer significant aesthetic benefits, closely resembling natural teeth and enhancing the overall appearance of the smile, which can help boost self-confidence. With their durability, improved oral function and natural look, dental implants provide a comprehensive and long-term solution for those seeking effective tooth replacement options.

Dental Implant Surgery

The dental implant procedure begins with a thorough examination and treatment planning by your Heritage Dental Centre dentist. This evaluation assesses your oral health and determines your suitability for dental implants. Under local anesthesia, titanium implant posts are carefully placed into your jawbone at the sites of your missing teeth. A healing period follows, allowing for osseointegration, during which the implants fuse securely with your jawbone. Once this integration is complete, abutments are attached to the implants to act as connectors. Custom-made replacement teeth are then securely placed onto the abutments, providing you with strong and natural-looking new teeth. This careful process allows for the success and durability of your implant-supported restoration. At Heritage Dental Centre, our professional dental team is with you every step of the way to support your dental restoration journey with dental implants!
