​What Dental Implants Are and Why They’re Important

The dental implants are designed to replace missing or damaged teeth, through replacing the missing root of a tooth with a small metal post designed to fuse with the jawbone and strongly support the tooth crown on top.

​

Dentists begin by examining their patient’s mouth and taking X-rays and impressions for a comprehensive view of the condition of their teeth and jawbone. Tailored treatment plan is then formed and the process is carried out is stages.

Bone Loss and Deterioration

Gum disease, tooth loss, facial trauma and habits such as smoking can contribute to gum recession and deteriorating jawbone. This bone loss can lead to infection and negatively impact facial structure.

​

Gum Problems

Non-proper oral hygiene can cause gum issues. Inflammation or infection can result in endangering surrounding teeth and bone.

​

Improperly Aligned Teeth

Teeth can shift over time to leave gaps or become crowded or overlapping. This can lead to discomfort when eating and and increased risk of tooth decay or gum complications.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Carefully applied implants can foster straighter and healthier teeth and gums. Here are some more of their benefits:

Made to Match

Implants can be colour-matched to surrounding teeth to ensure a natural appearance and a confident smile.

Improved Eating and Speech

Comparing to other options to replace missing teeth, dental implants are among the most effective methods to improve functions such as eating, speaking and the health of surrounding teeth. 

A Long-Lasting Solution

Dental implants are designed to fuse with the bone and can perform well for many years when treated with the proper care. Implants are statistically the longest lasting tooth replacement option.

Bone Preservation

Well-fitted implants can prevent any further deterioration of the jawbone, preserving oral health and facial structure.
