Dental Implant service in Richmond Hill, Ontario

A procedure that replaces tooth roots with metal, screwlike posts and replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function much like real ones. Often performed as an alternative to dentures or bridgework.

Dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone, where they serve as the roots of missing teeth.

Dental implants may be right for you if you: have one or more missing teeth, have a jawbone that's reached full growth, have adequate bone to secure the implants or are able to have a bone graft, have healthy oral tissues, don't have health conditions that will affect bone healing, are unable or unwilling to wear dentures, want to improve your speech, are willing to commit several months to the process, and don't smoke.

You can help your dental work — and remaining natural teeth — last longer if you see your dentist regularly, avoid damaging habits, practice excellent oral hygiene.
