Everything About Dental Implants

December 2024 5 min read

Dental implants are a modern and permanent solution for replacing missing teeth, offering natural and long-lasting results that restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile.

At Canam Smile Makeover, we use cutting-edge technology and proven techniques to ensure your dental implant experience is comfortable, safe, and successful.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as the root of an artificial tooth. This screw provides a solid and permanent foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.

"Titanium is biocompatible, which means it fuses naturally with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and lasting connection."

The Dental Implant Process

1

Initial Consultation and Evaluation

We evaluate your oral health, take X-rays and 3D scans to plan your personalized treatment. We discuss your goals and expectations.

2

Implant Placement

The titanium screw is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. The procedure is minimally invasive and generally painless.

3

Healing Period (Osseointegration)

For 3-6 months, the implant fuses with the bone. You can wear a temporary prosthesis during this time to maintain your appearance.

4

Crown Placement

Once the implant has integrated, we place a custom crown that perfectly matches your natural teeth in color, shape, and function.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Ideal Candidates:

  • Adults with one or more missing teeth
  • Healthy and sufficient jawbone (or candidate for bone graft)
  • Healthy gums without active periodontal disease
  • Non-smokers or willing to quit smoking
  • Committed to good oral hygiene

Special Considerations:

If you have diabetes, take certain medications, or have received radiation therapy, consult with our specialists. We will evaluate your case individually to determine the best treatment approach.

Care and Maintenance

Dental implants require the same care as your natural teeth:

Daily Hygiene

  • • Brush 2-3 times daily
  • • Daily flossing
  • • Antibacterial mouthwash

Regular Visits

  • • Professional cleanings every 6 months
