    Dental Implants
    in Toronto

    Dental implants can improve your overall health and help you regain your confidence. Restore the function of your teeth, look good and feel natural.

    The benefits of dental implants

    Losing a tooth can be devastating. A missing tooth can make us feel self-conscious about our smile and may lead to a variety of health problems. Gaps can make your bite feel uncomfortable, cause difficulties eating the food you love and may lead to bone loss or shifting teeth. Dental implants are a long-term solution that feels natural and lasts decades with proper oral hygiene.

    Restore your natural appearance

    Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. They become permanent, “perfect” teeth as they are custom made to blend in with your smile. Implants look natural because they are sized, shaped and coloured to match your unique bite and natural enamel colour.

    Feel confident in your comfort

    When a dental implant is placed your jaw bone actually fuses with the titanium post as it heals. A crown or bridge can be permanently affixed to the post or the implant may be used to secure implant-supported dentures but one thing is certain: That dental implant is not moving. Laugh, smile and eat your favourite foods. Shifting teeth or sudden pain won’t even cross your mind.

    Improve bone strength

    When teeth are lost, the bone that supports those teeth can begin to atrophy and weaken over time. If left unchecked, this process (called resorption) can cause the jawbone to become unstable and can lead to further tooth loss. Dental Implants stimulate new bone growth around the implant, strengthening the bone structure.

    Cost of Dental Implants

    In Toronto, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1,000 – $5,000 for a single implant. Meanwhile, a full mouth reconstructive dental implant can cost between $6,000 and $60,000 for a full set of implant-supported dentures. When considering the cost of dental implants and comparing quotes from different provides, there are several important points that should be kept in mind.

    • The type of implant and the quality of the material that is used.
    • The experience of the dentist who performs the surgery.
    • The location and complexity of the surgery.
    • The quality of the equipment and technology used in the procedure.

    Getting dental implants is a major decision that should be considered carefully and no dental practice can provide an accurate quote over the phone as the procedure is complex and depends on many factors. Every case is different so it’s important to speak with a dentist to evaluate your unique situation and provide you with different treatment options to consider.

    Longevity – Dental Implant vs. Other Methods

    When comparing the cost of dental implants to other tooth-replacement methods such as dentures and bridges, it is important to take into consideration the longevity offered by dental implants that are not always afforded by other, more traditional methods. While dentures and bridges are initially less expensive, their affordability can be short-lived. These older methods require repair and replacement every 5-10 years and often end up being more expensive over time. By contrast, dental implants, when properly placed and cared for, can last a lifetime.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    For patients who are not good candidates for dental implants, dental bridges and full or partial dentures may be the best option for replacing missing teeth. The best way to find out what solutions exist for your specific needs is to call and book an appointment. We would be happy to discuss all your options and answer any specific questions you may have.
    To get an implant you must be an adult and have good general oral health. Your jawbone must be strong enough to support a new implant and other supporting tissues, like your gums, must be healthy to reduce the risk of complications. If you’re concerned that you might not be a viable candidate, give us a call to find out for sure. There are usually treatment options available to restore your oral health with the ultimate goal of getting a dental implant and there are often alternative solutions to replacing missing teeth.
    Yes! Your dental implant may be topped by a crown, a bridge or implant-supported dentures that will always be custom made to make you feel comfortable. That means your custom-made teeth are shaped and coloured to match your existing teeth and bite. Patients often have difficulty distinguishing their natural teeth from their beautiful new dental implants.
    The science of dental implants has evolved so rapidly from its early days that it is now a very predictable and relatively pain-free procedure. The dental implant procedure is completed with such care and precision you’ll experience as little discomfort as possible. With proper aftercare, you can expect minimal swelling and almost no bleeding. Your physical and emotional health are both important to us. If you feel anxious about visiting us for any reason, please let us know.
    In most cases, you can return to work the day after your implant surgery. Once we know exactly what your treatment will entail, we can give you a much more accurate time estimate and can let you know in advance if you should clear your schedule for longer. We always discuss all post-operative care instructions with you.
    The success of your implants will depend greatly on how well you maintain them. They need to be professionally cleaned and examined routinely, just like your natural teeth. We usually recommend a check-up approximately every 6 months but may recommend check-ups more or less often depending on your specific requirements.
    Care for your dental implants like a natural tooth. Regular brushing & flossing, cleanings & checkups and letting your doctor know if you have any problems.
