Dental Implants
Booking an Implant consultation will allow your dentist to determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants.
During your consultation, your dentist will review your dental and medical history, take digital scans or x-rays and assess your jawbone density to determine if dental implants are appropriate for your needs.
Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth, but suitability depends on several factors. Common indicators that implants may be right for you include:
- One or more missing teeth
- Healthy gums
- Sufficient jawbone to support the implant
- Overall good oral and general health
Even if bone amount or density is reduced, procedures like bone grafting can often prepare the jaw to support implants successfully. Your dentist will explain whether you need grafting and how it integrates with the implant treatment plan.
If you feel you would benefit from dental implants, we welcome you to book an appointment over the phone or online so we can give you the answers you need.
Proper home care is essential to ensure the longevity of dental implants. Treat your implants like natural teeth:
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- Floss carefully around the implant.
- Consider using an interdental brush to clean hard-to-reach areas.
- Rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash can also help prevent plaque buildup and gum inflammation.
- Avoid chewing hard foods or using your teeth as tools to protect your implants from unnecessary stress.
- Avoiding smoking or vaping and keeping your body healthy.
Regular dental check-ups are equally important. Professional cleanings allow your dentist to monitor the implant, surrounding gum tissue and jawbone.
