Benefits of Dental Implants

Request Appointment

Dental implants replace missing teeth effectively and modernly. Biocompatible titanium tooth roots are surgically implanted into the jawbone. Implants integrate with bone to support crowns or dentures.

Dental implants have many benefits. They fix tooth loss permanently. Dental implants last a lifetime with proper care, unlike dentures or bridges. They can also withstand biting and chewing like natural teeth.

Dental implants prevent jawbone loss. After tooth loss, bone deteriorates. Implants stimulate jawbone growth, preventing bone loss. This prevents facial sagging caused by missing teeth.

Dental implants improve speech and appearance. They look and feel like natural teeth, improving your smile and confidence. Implants never slip or click when speaking, unlike removable dentures.

Dental implants also restore tooth function. They let you eat your favourite foods without worry. Implants are easy to maintain and don’t need adhesives.

Urban Smiles Family Dental Implant Consultation Process

Urban Smiles Family Dental starts dental implants with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Andrew will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if dental implants are right for you during this initial visit.

The consultation will examine your teeth, gums, and jawbone. Dr. Andrew may use dental X-rays or other imaging to evaluate your jawbone and plan implant placement. This information will help determine the number of implants and best treatment for your case.

Dr. Andrew will also answer your implant questions. We want you to understand and feel confident about the procedure.

Implant Surgery and Preparation

Dr. Andrew may recommend pre-implant steps to maximize implant success and longevity. This may include treating gum disease, tooth decay, or jawbone issues with bone grafting.

Local anesthesia will make the surgery comfortable. If you want to relax, sedation may be available. Dr. Andrew will make a small gum incision to access the jawbone for the implants.
