Affordable Dental Implants in Whitby
Welcome to Dental Implants
Dental implants replace your natural tooth with an artificial tooth. Metal posts replace the root of the tooth to hold it firmly in place.Dental implants are integrated using a surgical procedure that can be complex, involving several activities, including:
-The removal of existing teeth
-Bone grafting (when necessary)
-Dental implant placement
Healing can be a lengthy process in dental implant surgery, as the living bone in your jaw will need to form tightly around the implant post in a process known as osseo integration. In many cases, the implants will not be completed all at once. Instead, there will be multiple surgeries to allow certain parts of the mouth to heal before completing the next set of implants
In most cases, dental implants will last for at least 25 years before they need to be replaced. If you practice excellent oral hygiene and visit Dentistry on Dundas for regular checkups, your implants may never need to be replaced.
During the first week after surgery, it’s crucial to follow your dentists’ post-op instructions. These will include limiting your diet to soft foods, avoiding drinking alcohol or smoking, and rinsing your mouth with warm salt water after meals.
Once your implant has healed, you can care for it just like a natural tooth with daily brushing and flossing. Our Whitby implant dentists recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush and nylon floss, while also avoiding brands of toothpaste that contain abrasive ingredients.
Dental implants have an overall success rate of 98%. As long as your surgery is performed by an experienced and qualified dentists like those at Dentistry On Dundas there’s no reason to worry. In fact, implants are the only tooth replacement that prevents your jawbone from shrinking, making them the safest option long-term.
Most insurance providers designate dental implants as a cosmetic treatment and don’t cover them as a result. However, your insurance may pay for a portion of your total treatment cost, depending on the terms set by your provider. If you have any questions about your insurance coverage, we’ll be happy to help you maximize your benefits.
