Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants at Sovrle Dental in North York
Are you missing one or more teeth and looking for a permanent solution? Dental implants might be the perfect option for you. At Sovrle Dental in North York, we provide dental implants that restore your smile and boost your confidence. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about dental implants.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium sockets that are surgically placed into your jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth that match your natural teeth. Dental implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or even a full set of teeth.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Artificial Root: The implant acts as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth.
Healing: The implant fuses with your jawbone over time, providing a stable base.
Abutment and Crown: A connector (called an abutment) connects the implant to a custom-made crown. The crown looks and feels like a natural tooth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Natural Look and Feel: Designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
Improved Speech: Avoid slurring or mumbling caused by missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures.
Enhanced Comfort: Eliminates the discomfort of removable dentures.
Better Oral Health: Implants don't alter adjacent teeth, preserving natural tooth structure.
Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
Convenience: No need for adhesives as with dentures; implants are permanent.
Is a Dental Implant Right for You?
You might be an excellent candidate for dental implants if you:
Are Missing One or More Teeth: Implants can replace single or many teeth.
Have Good Oral Health: Healthy gums and sufficient bone density are essential.
Are Committed to Oral Hygiene: Regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits are crucial.
Seek a Permanent Solution: Prefer a long-lasting alternative to dentures or bridges.
Note: Our dentist will assess your oral health to ensure dental implants are the right choice for you.
The Dental Implant Procedure at Sovrle Dental
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Discuss Your Goals: Share your expectations and desired outcomes.
Oral Examination: We'll assess your teeth, gums, and jawbone using X-rays and 3D imaging.
Customized Treatment Plan: We'll develop a plan tailored to your needs. This includes the number of implants required.
Step 2: Implant Placement
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia ensures you're comfortable during the procedure.
Surgical Placement: The titanium implant is surgically placed into your jawbone.
Healing Period: Healing occurs over several months as the implant fuses with the bone.
Step 3: Abutment Placement
Minor Surgery: Once the implant has fused, an abutment is attached to connect the implant to the crown.
Gum Healing: The gums heal around the abutment for about two weeks.
Step 4: Crown Placement
Impressions: We'll take molds of your teeth to create a custom crown.
Crown Attachment: The custom-made crown is attached to the abutment.
Final Adjustments: We'll ensure the crown fits perfectly and matches your natural teeth.
Step 5: Follow-Up Care
Final Check: We'll verify that your bite is correct and the implant feels natural.
Care Instructions: We'll provide guidance on maintaining your new dental implant.
Caring for Your Dental Implants
Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily and floss around the implant.
Regular Dental Check-Ups: Visit Sovrle Dental every six months for cleanings and exams.
Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods that could damage the implant.
Quit Smoking (if you smoke): Smoking can affect implant success and healing.
