Who is a good candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a suitable option for individuals who have missing teeth and are looking for a long-term, durable solution to restore their smile and oral function.
Dental implants, commonly referred to as teeth implants, are artificial tooth roots that are placed in the jawbone to support a dental prosthesis, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. They are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring oral function and aesthetics.
Dental implants can offer several advantages over traditional tooth replacement options, such as dentures or bridges. They help to provide better stability and durability, improve chewing and speaking abilities, and help maintain the integrity of the jawbone by stimulating bone growth.

Frequently asked questions about Dental Implants
What are dental implants?
What is the procedure?
Do I have enough bone?
How long should implants last?
How will I know what my result will look like?
In many cases, the dentist will take models of your existing smile and have the laboratory technician, called a ceramist, build up what the final result will look like in wax. In some cases we will also build up a temporary plastic version of the possible result, which you can snap onto your teeth in the clinic. As well, we will sometimes take a digital or scanned photograph and enhance it on the computer to demonstrate what is possible. It really depends on the case and what we are correcting.
Aesthetic treatments, such as porcelain veneers, are only done after careful planning and consultation. Talk to one of our dentists and discuss what treatment might be right for you.
