Dental Implants

In Toronto and Mississauga, Ontario

People who have lost teeth are often very self-conscious about their smile and overall appearance. After all, your smile is the first thing a person sees when they look at you. Don't you want yours to look the best it can? At Willow Dental of Mississauga, Ontario, our skilled and caring cosmetic dentists have made it their life's work to rebuild, repair and restore their patient's smiles to something they can be proud to see in a mirror every day.

One way we accomplish this is through dental implant surgery and restoration. This type of procedure is performed to replace or restore damaged and/or missing teeth with artificial ones that will look and function like the patient's natural, healthy teeth.

Dental implants offer a durable alternative to uncomfortable dentures and less attractive bridgework. And with today's technology, you can see the results the very same day before you have even left the dentist's office.

Why Dental Implants?

Some reasons for having a dental implant procedure include:

• Tooth decay
• Root canal failure
• Trauma to the mouth
• Excessive wear and tear
• Periodontitis (gum disease)

The New Dental Implant Procedure

Many cosmetic dentists who are trained to perform dental implants, crowns and surgery have begun using a new technique that involves immediate replacement of missing teeth. The damaged tooth is extracted and an implant is inserted into the space immediately. The procedure involves no invasive surgery, which means there is no cutting into your gums and jawbone. The result is that you can resume your regular daily activities as soon as you leave the dentist's office.

The implant has a metal post that is surgically placed into your jawbone. An artificial tooth is created that matches the surrounding teeth and is placed on top of the implant. In a short amount of time, your jawbone will fuse to the implant and there will be very little discomfort as the site heals. Your gum line and jawbone will also not be susceptible to losing their shape due to the lack of support from a missing or damaged tooth.

The bonus of this new technology in dental implant surgery and restoration is immediate and virtually painless results for the patients that do not involve multiple trips to the dentist's chair. At Willow Dental in Mississauga, Ontario, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the latest technology in cosmetic dentistry procedures.
