Dental Implants in Markham

Permanent solution for tooth loss

Upper Markham Smiles is a well-recognized dental implants clinic in Markham. We replace a damaged or missing tooth with a titanium dental implant, placed surgically. The titanium implant is inserted into the jawbone where the tooth is missing and acts as an artificial tooth root. This “artificial tooth root” supports the replacement tooth or bridge. The procedure is only possible if your gums are healthy and your bone is strong enough to support the implant.

If the bone has lost its grip, a bone graft will be needed to support the dental implant. This is done with a small surgery that adds bone to the jaw in the area of the premolars and molars.

Implants are more expensive than other tooth-replacement options. Our oral surgeons perform dental implant surgery efficiently, making it easier for you to speak and eat properly.

Benefits of Dental Implants

  1. The best benefit of a dental implant is that it behaves like a natural tooth and helps restore your natural chewing power. At Upper Markham Smiles, our talented staff perform the surgery so that patients can’t tell the difference between their natural teeth and the implant.
  2. Dental implants do not need to be replaced. They are bio-compatible, meaning they are not toxic to the body in any way, and the body will not reject a titanium dental implant.
  3. Dental implants also prevent bone loss. When a gap is left after losing a tooth, the jawbone in that area starts to degrade because it is no longer stimulated.
  4. Implants also keep the neighbouring teeth stable. Over time, teeth next to a gap start moving towards it, which can make it hard to chew properly and, eventually, harder to fill the gap with an implant.
  5. A dental implant also helps prevent bacterial infections caused by food getting trapped in the gap.
  6. A dental implant helps keep the shape of your face. When teeth start to move toward a gap, they can also change the shape of the face.
