Regain Your Smile With Dental Implants
Dental implants are a trusted and lasting way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile.
At King East Dental in Stoney Creek, many of our patients choose implants because they look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. If you’re considering tooth replacement, we’re here to help you explore whether dental implants might be the right fit for you.
What are dental implants and how do they work?
A dental implant consists of three parts: a small post that acts as the tooth root, an abutment that connects the post to the replacement tooth, and the crown or bridge that sits on top. The implant post is placed gently into your jawbone during a simple procedure, where it bonds with your bone to provide a strong foundation.
Once everything is in place, your new tooth looks and feels natural helping you smile, eat, and speak with confidence again.
How can dental implants benefit your oral health?
Dental implants offer many advantages. They don’t just replace missing teeth, they help preserve the health of your jawbone by preventing bone loss, which can happen after tooth loss. Implants are easy to care for, just like your natural teeth, and with regular dental visits and good home care, they can last for many years.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
If you’re missing one or more teeth and have good oral health and enough bone to support an implant, this could be a great option for you. At King East Dental, we’ll start with a thorough assessment to understand your needs and create a personalized plan that’s right for your smile and lifestyle.
