What Is A Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a titanium screw that replaces the root of a missing tooth.
Titanium is a safe and compatible material, often used in hip and knee surgeries, making it an ideal choice for dental implants.
​
The implant integrates with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, providing a strong and lasting foundation. Our dental implants effectively restore one or more missing teeth and can also support dentures or fixed bridges.
Why should I Replace Missing Teeth?
When a tooth is missing, the surrounding teeth are forced to bear extra chewing load. This strain can lead to additional wear and even tooth breakage. Over time, nearby teeth can shift, leading to misalignment, increased risk of gum disease, and decay. Replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant helps prevent these issues by distributing the chewing forces more evenly and maintaining proper dental alignment. ​
​​
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most people who are missing one or more teeth and are healthy enough for routine dental procedures, such as tooth extractions, are good candidates for dental implants. However, there are exceptions, including:
-
Smokers
-
People with autoimmune diseases or medications affecting the immune system
-
Individuals who have undergone radiation therapy to the head or neck
-
Patients with uncontrolled diabetes
Caring For Your Implant
Dental implants offer a natural-looking, functional solution for missing teeth, allowing patients to eat comfortably and smile confidently, while maintaining facial structure and preserving overall oral health. Implants can serve patients for a lifetime provided that they are well cared for. This means prioritising good oral hygiene (brushing and flossing) and regular dental checkups and cleanings with our Whitehorse Smile Care dentists.​​​
