Dentistry on Duncan Mill places dental implants in North York, ON to replace a single missing tooth, several teeth, or a full arch. An implant is a small post, usually titanium, that fuses with your jawbone and supports a custom crown, bridge, or denture. Every implant plan starts with an exam, x-rays, an intraoral 3D scan, and a CT scan. Call 416-445-1320 to book a consultation.
Quick Summary
A dental implant replaces the whole tooth, root included. At Dentistry on Duncan Mill in North York, a small post is placed in the jawbone where the tooth used to be. Over the following months the bone grows around it (a process called osseointegration), and the post becomes a stable anchor for a crown, a bridge, or a full denture. Because the implant stands on its own, the healthy teeth beside the gap are left untouched, which is the key difference from a traditional bridge. Implants also give the jawbone the stimulation it loses when a tooth is missing, so they help keep the bone and gums healthy over time. Dental implants are a good option for almost anyone missing one or more teeth. Healthy gums and enough jawbone to hold the post matter most, and your CT scan shows us exactly how much bone is there before anything is planned.
Your first visit includes a thorough exam, x-rays, an intraoral scan for a digital 3D impression, a CT scan, and a full review of your medical history.
You meet with your implant dentist to go over the findings and confirm an implant is the right choice. We then walk you through a general timeline and what results to expect.
The implant post is placed in the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Over the next few months, typically three to six, the bone fuses with the post and creates a secure foundation.
Once healing is complete, your custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant and your bite is checked so everything feels natural.
