Using North York dental implants, Dr. Klaiman helps patients achieve new and restored smiles from simple to complex cases. When a person suffers from missing teeth, it is typical for many oral health issues to arise over time. Even with a single tooth missing, normal functions such as chewing and speaking can become more difficult. North York dental implants may become necessary. This is because the surrounding teeth can begin to shift toward the gap where the tooth once was, causing a poor bite and an unattractive smile.

In addition to this, bone loss will gradually occur due to their no longer being a tooth root in place to stimulate the bone. Without North York dental implants, this sadly changes a person’s facial structure and appearance. This can cause a “shrunken” and aged look.

Here is the good news

But the good news is, every problem that occurs due to tooth loss can be prevented with a North York dental implants! Our Toronto dentist proudly offers this service among many other full mouth reconstruction procedures, no matter how simple or complicated a patient’s unique case may be. Remember, maintaining good dental hygiene is essential for overall health and wellbeing. General dental care should include regular visits to the dentist and hygienist, as well as at-home care such as brushing and flossing.

Understanding dental implants

Typically composed of titanium material, North York dental implants are essentially an artificial tooth roots shaped like a screw. During the procedure, the implant is surgically placed into the jaw bone in order to permanently support an artificial replacement tooth. This is referred to as a pontic. North York dental implants are a permanent, long-term solution. This is because they completely fuse or merge with the jawbone through a 3-6 month healing process called “osseointegration”. 

Following this healing phase, the artificial tooth can finally be attached and secured to the implant, completing the treatment. North York dental implants are as close as it gets to natural tooth restoration, with an extremely high success rate (up to 98%!). Dental implants, implant bridges, teeth-in-an-hour, and dental hygiene services are advanced forms of restorative dentistry designed to improve the appearance and health of your smile. The success rate of implants makes it a truly top choice of tooth replacement according to North York dentist and patients alike.

Are bone grafts necessary?

Keep in mind, bone grafts may be necessary for some patients. In many cases, a patient won’t have enough healthy bone mass in the jaw to support the dental implant. Therefore, a bone grafting procedure will be required before the implant can be surgically placed. While a bone grafting procedure might sound like a very complex or painful step, this step is actually very common and painless!

Bone grafts composed of special synthetic and biocompatible materials are commonly used today to build bone density in the jaw, though it has also been performed by harvesting some of the patient’s own bone from another site, or by using a cadaver. Our North York Dental Clinic specializes in providing comprehensive dental care with the most advanced technologies and techniques.
