Dental implants can last a lifetime if they are cared for properly. Implants can be maintained easily at home, and are the closest solution to having real teeth. They are made of titanium which is stronger than other solutions on the market such as dentures or bridges.

Patients must have adequate bone to ensure the procedure is a success, and so the implants remain stable in the mouth. Our team at Fraser Family will meet with our patients, and discuss the current health of your mouth to determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants. A procedure can be done to graft bone to the implant area if the patient needs additional support for the implants. Over time, osseointegration occurs where the jawbone heals around the implant. This increases the strength and stability of the implants.

Fraser Family recommends good oral hygiene to ensure your implants stay healthy and last longer. Keeping your gums free of inflammation or infection also helps to maintain the strength of the implant.

Listed below are reasons why dental implants are a great tooth replacement option:

  • Dental implants look and feel just like natural teeth and are a very reliable tooth restoration solution.
  • Implants are built with strong materials made to last for a lifetime if cared for properly.
  • Implant are anchored to bone rather than the tooth’s roots. This allows implants to withstand more pressure than natural teeth.
  • If a bone graft is needed, the procedure will provide additional strength to your jawbone and ease healing around the implant. This also prevents implants from becoming loose and increases the life of the implant.
  • Implants are permanent and more comfortable in the mouth compared to other solutions such as dentures or bridges.

Good oral hygiene is important to keeping your implants healthy so they last longer and look great.

If you want a comfortable and permanent solution for your teeth, then dental implants may be right for you. Fraser Family Dental Clinic provides dental implants to our patients to help get them the smile they desire.

Dental Implants provide strong and stable teeth, and are built to last for years. Implants take around four to six months to heal, and this is because the bone has to fuse to your new implants. Fraser Family will meet with you and discuss if you are a good candidate for implants.  We will also help you with an at home care routine to keep your dental implants looking and feeling great.

Once the procedure is complete, we will recommend you follow an at home care routine to keep your gums pink with no signs of infection. Good oral hygiene is recommended so your implants stay strong and stable in your mouth. Fraser Family is always available to answer any questions our patients may have during the implant process.

Here are some guidelines to follow when caring for dental implants:

  • Brush your teeth at least twice daily to remove any plaque or bacteria from your teeth, and use a low abrasive brush such as a soft tooth brush.
  • Use a non-microbial rinse if you see any inflammation around your implants to prevent infection.
  • Floss daily with an implant specific floss to protect the tissue surrounding the dental implants.
  • To reach difficult areas around dental implants use a Waterpik Water Flosser.
  • Avoid any products containing sodium fluoride, baking soda, stannous fluoride or stain removers. This can remove the oxide layer on the implants, and the implant can be prone to corrosion.

Caring for your dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth, and if done regularly can keep your dental implants looking great for years. Dental implants are designed to last a long time if you practice good oral hygiene.

Fraser Family Dental Clinic offers a wide variety of procedures. One of the restorative type procedures we offer at our clinic is dental implants. Dental implants are the closet solution to having real teeth, and they are one of the most common dental procedures available.

If you want the feeling of natural teeth in your mouth, then dental implants may be the right solution for you. Dental implants allow patients to live a normal life, and are becoming popular compared to other solutions such as dentures or bridges. This is because dental implants are a more permanent solution that are built to last for years.

Dental implants act similar to a screw that bonds to the jawbone, and are just like artificial tooth roots. Once the implant is attached to the jawbone, they provide support to the artificial teeth or crowns. An abutment or connector is then set on top of the implant to hold the crown in place. This abutment is used as a support structure to hold the crown. The recovery is approximately four to six months while the bone fuses to the new implants.

Dental implants allow your teeth to look and feel natural so you are proud of your smile.

Benefits of dental implants include:

  • Dental implants are one of the safest and most common restorative procedures performed.
  • There is no slipping or clicking with dental implants, compared to dentures or bridges.
  • Food will not get stuck under or between implants like other solutions.
  • Dental implants are a permanent solution, compared to other dental options that require you to remove your teeth to clean or soak them.
  • Preserves the natural bone in your mouth and stimulates bone growth.
  • Dental implants provide support for any teeth needing replacement.
  • Gives patients the confidence they need to feel good about their teeth and smile.
  • Allows patients to live a normal and healthy lifestyle.
  • Implants are comfortable in the mouth and easy to care for.
