What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are modern technology used by dentists that can be used as a solution to replace missing teeth. Beyond restoring happy smiles, the placement of a dental implant helps restore your bite and can limit problems that can occur following the loss of teeth.

The dental implant process begins with the placement of a ‘post’, which acts as artificial tooth roots. These “roots” are often made of titanium or other extremely solid material, providing a solid and long-lasting foundation for your teeth. 

Your dentist will perform surgery to place the post into your jawbone. Once inserted, the post integrates with the bone in your jaw. This secure base allows for the placement of a crown, bridge or denture that will help you restore your smile.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

We provide dental implants in Oakville as our experienced and trained dentists have seen the remarkable benefits they provide to our patients, including:

  • Long-Term Solution: When properly constructed and placed, your dental implants often last a lifetime – provided they are cared for and there are no complications. These near-permanent solutions allow you to go about your life with confidence and without the fear of compromising your ability to eat, speak or smile.
  • Natural Look: When properly constructed and placed, dental implants can look like natural teeth. Your SmileGrove dentist will work with leading lab partners to custom design your tooth so that it matches the appearance and function of your natural teeth.
  • Protecting Your Bone Health: Unfortunately, when you lose a tooth, the damage doesn’t end there. Missing teeth can cause bone loss in the jaw over time. The placement of dental implants can stimulate the development of bone density when placed properly.
  • Gentle on Neighbouring Teeth: As a standalone solution, dentists can often place dental implants without modification to your surrounding teeth.

Are you the Right Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a great solution for missing teeth, but they require certain conditions to be placed successfully. If you have healthy gums and a good bone structure, you could be a great candidate for dental implants in Oakville.  

At your first appointment with your SmileGrove dentist, we will assess your overall dental health, including your jaw structure, gum health and surrounding teeth to see if dental implants are an appropriate solution for you. 

Even if problems are detected, they can often be resolved. For example, procedures like bone grafting or a sinus lift can be used to address bone loss in the jaw, allowing for the placement of dental implants. 

Our team will conduct a detailed evaluation and work with you to develop a plan that works for you. Read more below about our process.

The Dental Implant Process at SmileGrove Oakville

Here’s what to expect when you arrive at SmileGrove for your discussion with our dentist about dental implants: 

  1. First consultation and your custom plan: Your dental implant journey begins with a thorough assessment of your current oral health. After a review by our dentist, you and our dental team work together to create a customized treatment plan that takes into account your goals and oral health. We take the time to discuss options, including the benefits and risks of each while assessing your bone density and detailed x-ray imaging.
  2. Placement of Implants + Healing: If you choose to proceed, our team will work with you to find a convenient time for our dentist to surgically place your titanium implant post. Once complete, the post will fuse with your jawbone for several months. After a period of healing, the post will act as the base for your future replacement tooth.
  3. Last Step – A New Tooth!: Once your post placement healing is assessed by our team to be complete, your dentist will attach a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to your post. It is always our goal that your new tooth blends in well with your natural teeth, allowing you to be confident in your smile.

Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifts: Supporting Successful Dental Implants

For some patients, your dentist may assess that you do not have enough bone density in your jaw to support the placement of a post. If appropriate, your dentist may recommend a procedure like bone grafting and sinus lifts, which when successful can help prepare your jaw and teeth for eventual placement of dental implants in Oakville.  

  • Bone Grafting: Bone graft surgery involves the placement of  bone material onto your jaw. This procedures can increase the volume in parts of your jaw, where it is lacking. This is often necessary in areas of your jaw that have been affected by existing tooth loss, leading to bone deterioration.
  • Sinus Lifts: This is a type of surgery that may be required when there is not enough space for upper dental implants. The dentist gently raises the sinus floor, adding bone to the area, to support a later dental implant placement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

  • Yes, generally dental implants can last for the long term, up to a whole lifetime. The length of your dental implant’s success depends on proper aftercare and regular dental visits.

  • Receiving a dental implant requires placement surgery, but it is performed under local anesthesia (“local freezing”). Our dental team is trained to reduce your pain and take all measures to minimize discomfort. Typically, post-surgical pain can be addressed with over-the-counter pain medication.

  • Your dentist will fully assess your oral health to determine if you have the right conditions for a dental implant. If you do not have enough bone density for an implant, your dentist may discuss other procedures like bone grafting or a sinus lift, which can be used to increase your bone density. By enhancing your bone density, you may then receive a dental implant.
