Overview
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth by placing a titanium post in the jawbone to act as an artificial root, topped with a custom crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Unlike a bridge or denture, an implant does not rely on neighbouring teeth for support, and it helps preserve jawbone density that can otherwise be lost over time after a tooth is missing.
What Is a Dental Implant
A dental implant consists of three parts, a titanium post placed into the jawbone, an abutment that connects the post to the visible portion of the tooth, and a custom crown that sits on top and matches your natural teeth. Over time, the titanium post fuses with the surrounding bone, creating a stable, long term foundation that functions much like a natural tooth root.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Implants
- Anyone missing one or more teeth who wants a permanent, natural feeling replacement
- Patients with sufficient jawbone density to support an implant
- Patients in good general oral health, without active gum disease

A consultation, including imaging to assess your jawbone, will determine whether implants are the right fit for your specific situation.

The Dental Implant Process
The implant process typically happens in stages. First, the titanium post is placed into the jawbone, followed by a healing period during which the post fuses with the surrounding bone, a process that generally takes a few months. Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached and your custom crown is fitted on top, completing the restoration. The full timeline varies depending on your individual healing and whether any additional procedures, such as bone grafting, are needed beforehand.
Caring for Your Implant
A dental implant is cared for much like a natural tooth, through regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. Since implants do not decay the way natural teeth can, the main focus of long term care is protecting the health of the surrounding gum and bone, which is why maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular checkups remains important even after your implant has fully healed.
Cost of Dental Implants
