What Are Dental Implants and How Do They Work?

Dental implants are an effective dental replacement option designed to improve dental health, promote healthy jawbone and gums, and mimic the function of natural teeth. A dental implant is made up of three parts:

A small titanium post that's placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial root and secure a replacement tooth. The titanium is biocompatible and fuses with surrounding bone to become a permanent part of your jaw structure.
An abutment, which is a small connector piece between the prosthetic and the implant post. One side is connected to the implant post and the other side supports a dental prosthetic.
A dental prosthetic, which is used to replace a single tooth or multiple missing teeth. It is the visible part of the dental implant and can be a dental crown, denture, or bridge.

The Lasting Benefits of Dental Implants

Replacing a tooth with dental implants offers many advantages for preserving your health and confidence. Restoring your smile with dental implants can:

Provide the jawbone with stimulation to prevent bone loss
Maintain the natural structure of your face
Offer a realistic look and feel
Restore your ability to bite and chew your favorite foods
Provide easy hygiene care since the implants are fixed in place
Promote better oral health and physical health
Boost your self-confidence and overall quality of life

Our Dental Implant Procedure

Our team routinely provides dental implant placement treatment across a variety of cases, using quality materials, modern technology, and proven techniques for effective results. We can help you achieve renewed dental function, health, and confidence with dental implants in Fergus.

Dental Implant Evaluation: The first step toward getting your implants is an evaluation and consultation with our dentist. We will review your medical history, perform a comprehensive oral exam, and take x-rays and 3D images. This will help us determine if you're a candidate for dental implants. If you qualify, we will discuss your treatment options and create a treatment plan based on the number of teeth you need replaced and the condition of your remaining teeth and jawbone.

Planning Your Implant Treatment With Precision: We use an intraoral camera to capture clear images of different structures in your mouth. We also use panoramic digital x-rays to capture the teeth, jaws, and facial structure in one image. The information obtained allows us to measure your bone volume and depth and plan the optimal location and angle of the implant placement.

Pretreatment Procedures: We may recommend dental extractions if you have teeth that are infected or too badly damaged to restore or preserve. Our dentist will gently remove the tooth to protect your long-term oral health and save as much of the surrounding bone as possible. Should your jawbone be too thin or brittle to support an implant, we can perform a bone graft to strengthen it. We'll place supplemental donor or synthetic bone material to stimulate the growth of new bone and restore density.

Dental Implant Placement: The next phase of your treatment involves placing dental implants. Our dentist carefully follows your treatment plan to place the implants at optimal location, angle, and depth. The number and location of the implants will depend on how many teeth need replacing and the location of these teeth within your smile. For more complex treatment, more than one visit may be needed to complete your implant placement.

Healing and Final Restoration: In the next few months, the dental implants and jawbone will fuse together to provide a solid base for your new artificial teeth. This process is called osseointegration. Once healing is complete, our Fergus dentist will place your final implant-supported restorations and make any adjustments needed.

We offer personalized restorations using reliable materials that will look natural and blend in as part of your smile. Our goal is to provide implant restorations you can count on for years to come.

Crowns to replace one missing tooth. Each crown is attached to its own implant.
