Dental Implants Mississauga
A Stable Approach to Tooth Replacement
Dental implants provide a way to replace missing teeth using support from within the jaw.
An implant can support a crown or another restoration depending on the number and location of missing teeth.
What Is an Implant?
A small post is positioned within the jawbone where a natural tooth root is missing.
After an appropriate healing period, a restoration can be attached to recreate the visible portion of the tooth.
Potential Benefits
Implants can provide stability when chewing and speaking and can support restorations designed to blend naturally with surrounding teeth.
When replacing one tooth, neighbouring teeth generally do not need to provide primary support.
The Treatment Process
Treatment begins with examination and imaging.
The implant is placed and given time to integrate with surrounding bone.
After healing, the final restoration can be completed.
Who May Be a Candidate?
Healthy gums and adequate supporting bone are important considerations.
Smoking, certain medical conditions, gum disease, medications, or bone loss can influence treatment planning.
A detailed assessment is required before deciding whether treatment is appropriate.
