If tooth loss or extraction has happened to your smile, you know how much it can impact you. Not only does it leave behind a gap in the smile, but it also impacts the remaining teeth and one’s efficiency in eating and speaking. Tooth replacement is a service offered by Dr. Jameela Jifri and her team in Milton, Ontario, and in many instances, she may recommend the use of dental implants.

How dental implants work

Just like implants on other parts of the body, dental implants are made of titanium. They are intended to replace a lost or extracted tooth. This metal restoration looks like a small post that the dentist places during oral surgery into the bone of the jaw. The process of bone growth called osseointegration stimulates bone growth around the natural tooth to provide it with the proper foundation. Then, the dental implant above the gum line, known as the abutment, is covered with a restoration such as a dental crown, bridge, or denture.

Why choose dental implants?

Dental implants have many benefits that make them a desirable option for several of our patients facing tooth loss. These implants are:

• Natural-looking
• Strong and durable
• Long-lasting
• Stable
• A smart investment
• Versatile

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Patients who are looking for a dentist “near me” that offers dental implants will first need to have a consultation appointment and initial evaluation with the team at Scott and Derry Dental Center in Milton, ON. During this time, the smile is evaluated to determine candidacy for an individual. Patients with a healthy smile and sufficient bone for the placement of the implant are often the ideal candidate for dental implants.
