Smile with confidence with dental implants in Burlington, ON, Canada

If you are dealing with tooth loss in the Burlington, ON, Canada area, Tansley Woods Dentistry can help with one of the best advancements in dentistry – dental implants. Dental implants have revolutionized tooth replacement, with long-lasting results that function and feel like natural teeth.

Dental implants, explained

Years ago, if you needed to replace missing teeth, your options were dentures or bridges. While both solutions are still sound options and used today, they only replace the crown of the tooth (the portion that is visible above the gumline). Without replacing the missing tooth root, the jawbone will begin to deteriorate, which can cause remaining healthy teeth to shift out of place and can lead to premature aging in the face. Additionally, the changes in bone and soft tissue structure will require these devices to be adjusted and replaced about every ten years.

Dental implants start with a post that is surgically placed into the bone to replace the missing root. The screw-shaped device is made from a safe, biocompatible material. Once in place, the bone fuses around the implant, forming a stable foundation for the final replacement. The number of implants required depends on the number of teeth missing and the final dental prosthetic. Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth or used to anchor dentures to replace all teeth within an arch.

Benefits of dental implants

There are many advantages to choosing dental implants for tooth restoration. Here are the top four:

  • You’ll feel and look great – Unlike traditional dentures, which can make everyday tasks such as talking or eating feel uncomfortable, dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. You can practice regular oral hygiene and enjoy peace of mind.
  • They are long-lasting – Dental implants are designed to last for decades, unlike other alternatives that need to be replaced more often.
  • You’ll live with confidence – Dental implants are held securely in place, so you don’t have to worry about them slipping out of place when you talk, or eat.
  • They preserve oral health – With dental implants placed into the bone, you don’t have to worry about bone deterioration or other common oral health issues. It’s important to place dental implants as soon as possible after tooth loss to preserve bone.
