Dental Implants

Willow West Dental Office is committed to restoring diseased or damaged teeth to healthy ones. Many of our patients are finding implants beneficial to the maintenance of their smile, whether as a stand-alone tooth option or as an anchor for dentures.

If you are experiencing a missing tooth or teeth, there are many ways to replace them. Aside from bridges and partial/complete dentures, an effective and permanent treatment may be dental implants.

A dental implant is made up of titanium metal, which is inserted into the jawbone to act as a root base for the artificial tooth that is placed right over.

Anyone in good health and with healthy gums (with missing teeth) is considered a good candidate for a dental implant procedure.

Our dentists at Willow West Dental will examine your oral health, using X-rays of the head, jaw, and teeth to make the best decision in your interest. All results will be discussed with you, and a dental implant treatment plan will be detailed with you before the commencement of any procedure.

A dental implant procedure may take time before completion. Read below for a quick summary on how a dental implant procedure takes place. For more details, contact our Guelph office for a customized consultation designed just for you:

  • A full examination takes place.

  • As an initial stage, a dental implant is placed into the jawbone underneath the gum tissue, which is stitched up thereafter.

  • Dentists will wait for the gum to heal and give some time for the implant to bond with the gum.

  • In the second stage, an abutment is attached to the implant. (This is what holds the implant and the artificial teeth to one another.)

  • During the third stage of the dental implant procedure, the artificial tooth is made and attached to the abutment. Proper fitting may take up to several appointments.

  • In the case of more than one missing tooth, a fixed bridge is used and anchored to the dental implants.
