Whether you lost the tooth due to tooth decay, injury, or gum disease, gaps in your smile can impact both your confidence and oral health, but dental implants in Ottawa offer a permanent solution to restoring your smile. Be it trauma, decay, or other dental conditions that caused your tooth to be lost, implants are an excellent solution offering both aesthetic and functional replacement that your smile will appreciate.  
 
What are dental implants?  
 
Dental implant: a prosthetic tooth root of biocompatible titanium implanted into the jawbone surgically that supports a replacement tooth or bridge. Over time, the implant bonds with the bone to become the foundation of the prosthetic tooth that looks and feels just like a natural one.
 
Benefits of dental implants
 
1. Long-term durability — with proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
 
2. Designed: to closely resemble the shape and color of your natural teeth.
 
3. Better oral health: prevents bone loss and preserves your jaw structure.
 
4. Improved function: firm and stable support for chewing and speaking
 
5. Not pressuring nearby teeth: implants do not need to impact neighboring teeth like bridges do.
 
The dental implant procedure
 
Consultation & planning: your dentist will examine your oral health and the density of your jawbone.
 
Surgery: the titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone.
 
Integration: this period of healing is paramount during which the implant fuses with the bone over several months.
 
Crown: a custom-made artificial tooth is placed to restore the tooth.
