A dental implant is the most authentic alternative to a natural tooth. Dr. Jameela Jifri, along with her proficient team at Scott and Derry Dental Care, strongly believes that this solution for lost teeth should be accessible to all patients. We work hard to ensure that dental implants are within the financial reach of most of our patients across Milton, Ontario.
Why might I consider dental implants for my smile?
Dental bridges and dentures have a long-standing reputation as trusted solutions for tooth replacement, catering to numerous patients’ needs. However, these dental prosthetics just rest upon gum tissue, which can compromise their stability and comfort. They also lack the ability to provide the necessary stimulation to the facial bone. This results in bone resorption, which causes a higher potential for a collapsed look in the lower third of one’s facial structure.
Patient Educational Video about Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium roots that are replaced in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis, including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There is approximately a 95 percent success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with lifelike all-porcelain crowns. For more details, ask your dentist.
What are the benefits of choosing implants with an experienced dentist in my area?
Dental implants offer many benefits compared to conventional options. Comprised of biocompatible titanium, a dental implant is strategically positioned within the jawbone to replace the root of a lost tooth. This meticulous process requires local anesthetics and, for some, sedation. The minor cut in the gum tissue heals quickly, and within a few months, the bone integrates with the implant. Eventually, it forms a sturdy base for a restorative procedure.
Due to its placement in the jaw, whenever you bite down, the dental implant sends a signal to your body that indicates the need for stronger bone. Restoring your chewing ability helps maintain bone density and contributes to a youthful aesthetic.
How are dental implants restored?
If you are missing a tooth, a dental implant crown may be the perfect solution. This method isn’t limited to a single tooth. It can be applied to multiple teeth in diverse areas within the mouth. In cases with a gap of three to five consecutive missing teeth, we might recommend a dental bridge secured with two implants. A significant advantage of this approach is that the neighboring healthy teeth remain intact, with no need for enamel reductions.
Although you can replace a full arch of lost teeth with standalone implants, an implant-secured denture is a more cost-efficient alternative. This method only requires the strategic placement of as few as four implants designed to stabilize the denture securely. A traditional denture that “floats” only restores about 20 percent of your chewing capability. However, an implant-anchored denture remarkably enhances this function by up to 90 percent.

The pre-exam before any work was done was extremely thorough. Can't say have been to another dentist that gave that amount of attention to the small details.
