Dental Implants in North York
What are Dental Implants?
Dental Implants count as a revolutionary creation in the world of restorative dentistry. They are the preferred solution for missing teeth and the closest alternative to your actual teeth. At Bayview Village Dental Specialists, we can take you through all the details of this somewhat lengthy, yet completely worth it procedure.
Dental Implants are small titanium screws, surgically placed in your jawbone in place of the missing tooth. They act as artificial tooth roots that can later on hold a crown, bridge or denture in place. However first, our highly qualified prosthodontists will have to make sure that the implant has healed nicely in your jaw and the bone has grown entirely around it, holding it firmly in place and making it as stable and secure as an actual tooth root.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering a natural look, feel, and function. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants are designed to integrate with your jawbone, providing unmatched stability and long-term benefits.
At Bayview Village Dental Specialists, we utilize digital technology and 3D imaging to ensure precise implant placement and successful long-term results.
Advantages of Dental Implants
- Long-Term Stability: Implants are designed to last for decades with proper care.
- Jawbone Preservation: Prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure by stimulating natural bone growth.
- Enhanced Functionality: Provides superior chewing ability and comfort compared to traditional dentures.
- Aesthetic and Natural Appearance: Designed to blend seamlessly with natural teeth for a confident smile.
The Dental Implant Procedure
1. Assessment & Digital Planning
Every implant procedure begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine suitability and ensure precise planning.
- 3D CBCT Scanning & Digital Imaging: High-resolution imaging provides a detailed view of the jawbone, soft tissues, and nerve pathways.
- Bone and Soft Tissue Evaluation: Assesses whether bone grafting or additional preparation is needed for implant placement.
- Customized Treatment Plan: Digital simulations help design an accurate and predictable treatment approach tailored to each patient.
2. Surgical Phase: Guided Implant Placement
We use 3D-guided technology and minimally invasive techniques to improve precision and reduce recovery time.
- Digital Guided Surgery: 3D-printed surgical guides ensure precise implant positioning for optimal long-term success.
- Biocompatible Titanium Implant Placement: The implant post is surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root.
- Healing & Osseointegration: Over several months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone, creating a strong foundation for the final restoration.
3. Restoration Phase: Custom Implant Restorations
Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, a custom-designed restoration is placed to complete the treatment.
- Single-Tooth Implant: A porcelain crown is attached to replace a single missing tooth.
- Implant-Supported Bridge: Ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth without the need for traditional bridges.
- Full-Arch Implant-Supported Prosthesis: Also known as “All-on-4” or “All-on-6,” this technique replaces an entire arch of teeth with a fixed, non-removable solution.
