Single tooth implants and bridges replace missing teeth, using surgical posts or adjacent teeth to support new, functional teeth.
The implant is placed into the bone and allowed to heal for a period of 3-4 months.
The now secure and healed implant is scanned with our 3D technology and sent to our laboratory to fabricate you new tooth.
Your new implant crown is precisely fit and secured onto your implant and ready for you to enjoy.
The optimal treatment plan will be determined during a consultation, as each case is individual.
At present, we avoid placing temporary crowns or bridges on newly implanted implants. This precaution reduces pressure on the implants, facilitating proper fusion with your jawbone.
Numerous individuals, including those previously deemed ineligible, may now be suitable candidates for dental implants. Reach out to schedule a consultation and explore how we can assist in restoring your smile.
Maintain them like natural teeth:
Once in the mouth, they closely resemble natural teeth, often indistinguishable. The implant body, resembling a screw, remains concealed beneath the gums within the bone.
Yes, while it may feel different from a natural tooth, it will function similarly.
Patients typically resume work within one to two days, though some cases may require additional recovery time.
The process is quite straightforward. Your implant is surgically placed into your jawbone and left to integrate for 4-6 months. Following this, impressions are taken, and your tooth is fabricated. Treatment time may be extended if bone grafting is required.
Once your implant is completed, it cannot be removed.
Currently, we do not offer anesthesia for inducing sleep in patients. However, we do provide oral conscious sedation as an alternative. This medication helps you relax during the procedure and often leads to partial or complete lack of recollection. To obtain this medication, we will prescribe it for you to pick up from your preferred pharmacy. Please ensure you arrange for a designated driver to transport you after taking the oral sedation pill(s), as it is not safe to operate any motor vehicle or machinery afterward.
You might experience slight bleeding for up to 24 hours following your implant placement. If you notice excessive bleeding, please reach out to the clinic for assistance.
A traditional home remedy for promoting clotting and stopping bleeding involves using tea bags. Dampen a regular tea bag, remove excess water, and apply it to the extraction site(s). The tanic acid in the tea leaves promotes clotting. Use additional tea bags if needed, replacing saturated ones as required. Repeat this process as necessary.
While experiences vary, it’s common to experience some discomfort and swelling after the procedure. However, many patients report minimal discomfort. Pain medication will be prescribed to alleviate any discomfort.
We do not offer zirconia implants due to their novelty and unknown long-term success. Our priority is ensuring the best and most predictable results for our patients, which is why we do not currently provide this type of implant.
While titanium dental implants do have a 95+% success rate, yes, they can still fail. Some of the things that can cause them to fail:
If an implant fails within the first year, your dentist will replace it at no charge to you.
Hi! I’m Jaehee (Jay).
Originally from South Korea, I worked as a Dental Hygienist for 8 years before moving to Canada, where I now work as a Certified Dental Assistant. My experience has taught me the importance of providing high quality care and helping every patient feel at ease during their visit.
Since my time as a Dental Hygienist in Korea, I have always valued being attentive and detail oriented. I do my best to create a comfortable experience for every patient, and seeing patients leave with a smile is the most rewarding part of my job.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my cat ’Thunder‘ who moved to Canada with me from Korea. I also enjoy weightlifting during the week, running on weekends, and spending time outdoors tanning during the summer.
Hi, I’m Daniel!
I’m a Certified Dental Assistant, and what I enjoy most about my job is helping patients feel comfortable and cared for during their visits. I love being part of a team that helps people improve their oral health and leave with a smile they’re confident about. Every day is different, and I enjoy meeting new people and making their dental experience a positive one.
Outside of the clinic, I like staying active by playing tennis and going for runs. I find both are great ways to stay healthy, challenge myself, and unwind in my free time.
