What Are Dental Implants?

The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts, which are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone grows around the titanium, creating a solid foundation for artificial teeth. There is hope if you lose one or more teeth due to dental disease or another cause. Our dental implants in Yellowknife can change the way people live. In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration when teeth are missing. 

If you feel an implant is a right choice for you, like many others, we ask that you undergo a dental/radiographic examination, health history and CT scan. During these consultation visits, your specific needs and considerations will be addressed by either Dr. Ghannad -- our periodontal specialist -- or an oral and maxillofacial surgeon referred to you by our practice. Your questions and concerns are important to us, and our team will work with you very closely to help make your procedure a success.

Implant Procedure

Dental implants are metal anchors which act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jawbone. Small posts are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.

For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves two surgical procedures. First, implants are placed within your jawbone. For the first three to six months following surgery, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums, gradually allowing the bone to grow. You should be able to wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet during this time.

After the implant has integrated into the jawbone, the second phase begins. The surgeon will uncover the implants and attach a small healing collar. After 4 - 6 weeks, the restorative dentist will be able to start making your new teeth. At first, an impression must be taken of your teeth. Only then posts or attachments can be connected to the implants. The teeth replacements are then made over the posts or attachments. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Implants today provide the best way to replace missing teeth and bring them closer to how our teeth felt.
