Dental Implants

Dental Implants at Mall Road Dental

Dental implants are one option for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a small post placed into the jawbone, which supports a crown, bridge, or denture. Implants are designed to look and function like natural teeth and can be used to replace one tooth, several teeth, or even a full arch.

Why Consider Dental Implants?

Dental implants may be recommended as an option for patients with missing teeth because they are designed to restore chewing function, support speech, and provide a secure replacement that blends with natural teeth.

They can also help maintain proper spacing by preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting into gaps. With good oral care and regular dental visits, implants can be a long-lasting solution for tooth replacement.

The Dental Implant Process

Consultation and Exam

Your dentist will take X-rays and evaluate if implants are a suitable option.

Treatment Planning

We will discuss timelines, financing options, and insurance considerations.

Preparation

In some cases, procedures like bone grafting may be needed before implant placement. Sedation options can also be reviewed for your comfort.

Placement

The implant post is placed into the jawbone. After healing, an artificial tooth (crown, bridge, or denture) is attached.

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Fluoride application is quick and comfortable. The dentist or hygienist applies fluoride to the teeth with a brush, swab, or tray. Afterward, patients are advised to avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes so the fluoride can fully absorb.

Dental Implant FAQs

Can implants be placed the same day as an extraction?
In some cases, an implant may be placed immediately after a tooth extraction, but often healing time is recommended first. Your dentist will determine what’s appropriate for your situation.
How long does the surgery take?
The length of the procedure varies depending on the case, but many implant placements take a few hours.
Is the procedure painful?
Implant surgery is done under anesthesia, so patients typically do not feel pain during the procedure. Some mild discomfort afterward is normal and can usually be managed with medication.
How long do implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can be a long-lasting solution. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene are important for maintaining them.
