Burlington, ON patients with missing teeth, might feel overwhelmed at the choices available to them for repairing the smile. Dr. Thelam Nguyen and his team at Tansley Woods Dentistry understand patient concerns. Educating patients on the options that can be used is just the first step in finding out if dental implants are right for an individual. Visiting a dentist “near me” in the area is of high demand, and our team encourages patients to book a consultation appointment to learn about the purpose, cost, and expectations of dental implants.

What are dental implants?

Dr. Thelam Nguyen of Tansley Woods Dentistry can provide Burlington, ON, area patients with information regarding dental implants for replacing one or more teeth. These implants are made of titanium, a metal that is biocompatible with the body. When the implant is placed into the bone of the jaw, it solidifies its placement through a process of bone growth called osseointegration. This bone growth also helps in maintaining healthy bone for the rest of the teeth within the smile. The implant has an abutment on the top, which sits above the gum line and provides the foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.

What is the purpose of a dental implant?

Dental implants have a variety of purposes. They can replace one tooth by acting as a tooth root and being repaired over the top abutment with a dental crown. A dental implant might also be used to hold one or two ends of a dental bridge in place, replacing one or more teeth in the dental arch. For patients with full tooth loss of the dental arch, implants may be used to provide implant-retained dentures. This full denture replaces all the teeth and uses dental implants as a proper foundation for placement. Patients love the idea of eliminating messy denture adhesives and enjoying a smile that functions at its best.

How much do dental implants cost?

The cost of dental implants varies greatly depending on many factors. The placement of the implant, the number of implants used, and the restoration covering the implant will all determine the final cost. Additionally, patients may have a dental insurance policy that provides partial coverage, reducing the out-of-pocket expense for patients considering dental implants for tooth replacement.

Why choose dental implants?

There are several reasons why a patient might decide to move forward with placing dental implants. Dental implants are:

  • Affordable
  • An investment in the smile
  • Long-lasting/permanent
  • Biocompatible
  • Safe
  • Effective
  • Great for maintaining bone
  • Stable, allowing patients to enjoy their favorite foods
