What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial roots, typically made from biocompatible titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone. They serve as a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, recreating the natural look, feel, and function of your teeth. Our Kitchener-Waterloo dental implant services are designed to help you regain confidence in chewing, speaking, and smiling with ease.

Why Might You Need Dental Implants?

Dental implants are recommended for patients who:

  • Have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease
  • Looking for a more comfortable and durable alternative to dentures
  • Want to maintain jawbone health and prevent bone loss after tooth loss
  • Desire a permanent, natural-looking solution for missing teeth

How the Dental Implant Process Works

Consultation & Planning

Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation using digital X-rays or Cone Beam CT scans to determine the health of your jawbone and overall oral health.

Dental Implant Placement

The dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. During the healing process, the implant integrates with the bone, forming a secure and durable foundation for your new teeth.

Abutment & Crown Placement

After healing, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is secured on top, providing you with a natural and functional smile.

Bone Grafting for Complex Cases

A bone graft may be needed to build the bone structure if your jawbone is too thin or soft for an implant. Our team uses advanced Cone Beam CT imaging to assess whether bone grafting will be necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implants

Dental implants are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material that fuses with the jawbone. In some cases, zirconia implants are available for patients with metal sensitivities.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so that you won’t feel pain during the surgery. After the procedure, mild discomfort and swelling may occur, but these can be managed with pain relievers.
On average, it takes 3 to 6 months from implant placement to the final crown. This timeline allows the implant to integrate properly with the jawbone.
The ideal candidate for dental implants is someone in good oral and general health with sufficient jawbone to support the implant. If you have experienced bone loss, a bone graft may be necessary.
Dental implants can last a lifetime with regular dental care and proper hygiene, making them a durable and reliable solution for missing teeth.
If your jawbone lacks the density or volume for implants, a bone graft can be performed to build up the bone. Our team will assess your needs and recommend the best treatment using advanced imaging technology.
Dental implants have a success rate of over 95% and are considered a safe, effective, and permanent solution for missing teeth.
Dental implants can replace one tooth, several teeth, or even an entire arch using implant-supported dentures or bridges.
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are essential to maintain the health of your implants and surrounding tissues.
While some dental insurance plans may cover part of the cost, coverage varies. We can help you navigate your insurance and explore financing options to make dental implants affordable.
