Implants

If keeping your natural tooth is no longer an option, a dental implant is the next best thing. A Dental implant is a root simulating structure placed in the jaw bone to support the missing tooth.

We offer both titanium and ceramic (zirconium) implants — two of the most biocompatible materials on the market long-lasting results, and sedation dentistry options to ensure your comfort.In most cases, we can perform your implant treatment in just one comfortable visit.

Implant Supported Dentures

Also called All-on-4 denture implants, this hybrid tooth replacement solution is an excellent option when you’re missing any number of missing teeth.

This treatment involves placing up to 6 (and as few as 4) individual implants. Dentures are then permanently attached to these implants, providing a strong, durable foundation and natural-looking results.

Alternatives to Full-Mouth Implants

Are you at risk of losing teeth (or have already lost a tooth), but don’t want to resort to multiple implants or implant-supported dentures? There are options for you!

Our goal is always to keep your natural teeth for as long as possible. We offer a personalised, phased treatment plan approach that combines smaller procedures over a longer period of time for the best result. Depending on your situation and goals, your treatment plan might include single restorations, or other procedures focused on maintaining the health of your gums and bone.

This approach is focused on saving your existing teeth and avoiding extracting healthy teeth for a full mouth implant. By viewing your mouth as a whole and taking small steps toward fixing the root of the problem, our periodontists can ultimately take the least invasive method for saving your smile.

How to prevent Tooth Loss?

Your natural smile is your best smile. And keeping your natural smile intact starts with good at-home dental hygiene habits. Keep these tips in mind for keeping your teeth strong and healthy.

Brush your teeth 2x a day – Brushing your teeth with proper technique is the best thing you can do to prevent dental health issues. Make sure you brush for at least 2 minutes, and always use a soft-bristle toothbrush unless otherwise directed by your dentist
Floss daily – Don’t forget to floss! Even putting it off for a couple of days can begin the cycle of dangerous tartar buildup along your gum line.
Visit your dentist every 6 months – Regular exams and checkups are so important for catching little issues early on, before they can become a dental disaster.
Address gum disease immediately – Gum disease is the leading cause of preventable tooth loss. If you are at risk of developing the disease or have been told you are showing signs of gum disease, don’t put off treatment. We offer procedures focused on treating gum disease, including deep cleanings, laser treatments, surgical gum grafts, bone regeneration, and more.
