What are Dental Implants?

A dental implant can be broken down into three pieces:

The implant fixture is surgically placed on your jawbone, functioning as the roof for your new replacement tooth by holding the implant in position.

The abutment rests on top of the fixture and acts as the connector that holds the other two pieces together.

The final part of the implant is the crown. This porcelain structure is secured to the abutment and is the only visible piece of the implant. Our crowns are customized to fit the shape, size, colour, and strength of your natural teeth.

The Dangers of Being Toothless

Your overall health is directly linked to your oral health. If you’re missing even one tooth, you could be at risk of developing serious medical conditions such as strokes, heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes.

In addition, tooth loss can cause dental complications like jawbone depletion, gum disease, and more.

The Dental Implant Process

The dental implant process involves the following three steps:

    • Your consultation with Dr. Farhadian: Dr. Farhadian will perform a dental examination and recommend the ideal treatment plan for your unique smile.
    • Implant surgery: Dr. Farhadian will surgically place the implant fixture on your jawbone, initiating the healing and osseointegration processes. Sedation is offered for this treatment if the patient requires that.
    • Placing the abutment and crown: After allowing ample time for your jawbone to adjust to the implant fixture, Dr. Farhadian will attach the abutment to the permanent porcelain crown restoration.

The easiest way to find out if dental implants are ideal for your smile is to meet with our qualified implant dentist, Dr. Farhadian.
