Dental Implants & Same Day Teeth
Dental Implants in Pickering
For some patients who are missing teeth, conventional bridges or dentures are not always feasible options. This could be due to poor ridges, sore spots or even gagging. Also, bridges must be attached to teeth on either side of the missing tooth. If these adjacent teeth are weak or damaged, they may not be strong enough to hold a bridge.
In cases like this, dental implants may be the better solution. Pickfair Family Dental offers this safe and effective surgical procedure in a professional and comfortable environment. Dental implants involve metal posts or frames, which are positioned into the jawbone beneath the gums. Once in place, we can mount replacement teeth directly onto them.
What are the advantages of Dental Implants?
Dental implants can provide sturdy support for artificial teeth because they fuse directly to your jawbone. Here are some other advantages:
- Artificial teeth won’t shift or wriggle in your mouth, making eating and speaking much easier
- Allows crowns and bridges to feel more natural than conventional prosthetic devices
- Because nearby teeth don’t have to be adjusted for implants, more of your natural teeth can remain intact
- With good care, implants can last a lifetime
Many of our patients appreciate dental implants the most because of their convenience. Unlike removable dentures, these permanent devices eliminate the hassle and embarrassment of taking out artificial teeth. Ultimately, dental implants become a part of you -- allowing for improved appearance, comfort and self-esteem.
What Does the Dental Implant Procedure Entail?
There are typically two types of dental implants: Endosteal and Subperiosteal. Depending on the type that’s right for you, the procedure will differ slightly.
Endosteal Implants
This implant is surgically placed directly into the jawbone. Once the surrounding gum tissue has fully healed, we’ll conduct a second surgery to connect a post to the original implant. The final step involves placing an artificial tooth directly onto that post. Multiple teeth can be grouped together into a bridge or denture, then mounted as well.
Subperiosteal Implants
This implant involves a metal frame that’s fitted onto the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fused to the jawbone. Posts, which are attached to the frame, will protrude through the gums. Artificial teeth can then be mounted to the posts.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
The best way to determine if you’re a good candidate is to visit Pickfair Family Dental for an assessment. But one thing is for certain: You must have healthy gums to support implants, since they are much more invasive than other restorative procedures.
Patients with implants must also commit to keeping these structures clean and healthy. If you’re qualified to receive this procedure, you must be diligent about your oral hygiene in the years ahead. Regular dental check-ups are also critical to the long-term success of your implants.
