What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that functions like a natural tooth root. They can be used to replace a single lost tooth or many missing teeth. 

The implant is surgically placed into the jaw bone and then bonds with the natural bone to serve as an anchor for a tooth replacement. Dental implants can help to prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, resolve bite issues or jaw joint pain, and restore facial tissues and appearance.

At Pickering Village Dental, dental implants are provided by our team of General Dentists.

Why Replace Missing Teeth

If a tooth is missing, the teeth surrounding the gap may begin to shift out of place and cause misalignment issues. The jaw bone around the area may also begin to deteriorate, resulting in facial collapse or negatively impacting your ability to eat and talk.

The Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant procedure requires a dental implant (titanium screw) and a tooth replacement. 

Your dentist will begin by surgically placing the implant into your jaw bone below the gum tissue. As the tissue heals, the implant will bond with the bone and attach to the gum.

Once the healing is complete, generally 3 to 6 months post-surgery, patients return to our office to complete the procedure. 

At this final appointment, your dentist will attach a tooth replacement, such as a dental crown, bridge or denture, to the implant to create the look and function of a natural tooth.
