Dental Implants in Toronto
If you have lost a tooth, either through trauma (when teeth are knocked out, athletes such as hockey players and boxers often experience this) or due to decay, gum disease or old age, they need to be replaced both for aesthetic and functional reasons. The most common treatments that used to be used to replace missing teeth were denture or fixed bridges. However, dental implants are now a more popular treatment to replace missing teeth as they provide a longer-term solution, slow down bone loss and preserve nearby healthy tooth tissue.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed into your jaw to hold a replacement crown, bridge, or denture in place. The treatment can be more conservative than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support. |
Dental implant restorations are so natural-looking and feeling that you may forget you ever lost a tooth. Dental implants can be the best solution to the problem of missing teeth. Since dental implants integrate into the structure of your bone, they can prevent the bone loss and gum recession that often accompanies bridgework and dentures. No one will ever know that you have a replacement tooth.
