Traditional tooth replacements sit on top of the gums, only replacing the visible parts of the teeth. Dental implants are the only solution that also replaces the roots that are hidden underneath the gums. The implant itself is a small titanium post that is placed in the jawbone during an oral surgery. The bone eventually grows around the implant, creating a sturdy and lasting foundation. Then, a metal connector piece called an abutment is placed, which attaches the implant to your custom-made restoration (dental crown, bridge, or denture).
Because dental implants rebuild the entire structure of lost teeth, most dentists, including Dr. Vince Fava, believe they are by far the most comprehensive and beneficial way to replace missing teeth.
Understanding how dental implants work in Brampton requires a timely discussion with a member of our team. You’ll be pleased to learn that the entire process can be completed in-house, allowing you to remain in one convenient location for start-to-finish treatment. While it is true that receiving dental implants can take several months or even a full year, the 30+ year lifespan of these prosthetics is well worth the investment in your time and money. Depending on the complexity of your case, the timeline can vary; however, the process very much remains the same.
Why choose dental implants over traditional dentures and bridges? Simply put, it’s because there are many advantages that come from having replacement tooth roots that don’t come from new teeth that merely rest on the gums or existing teeth. Below are some of the reasons that we highly recommend dental implants to anyone who is considered a viable candidate for the procedure. Please get in touch with our team if you’d like to learn more about how implants could end up improving your smile as well as your life.

For most people, dental implants are by far the best option for tooth replacement. Their high quality does come at a higher price compared to other methods. However, patients who choose this option agree it is well worth the investment for a long-lasting replacement that promotes better oral and overall health for a lifetime to come. The total cost will depend on a few factors – and once we know the cost, we can begin discussing how to make dental implants affordable.

This includes 3D CT scans and guided dental implant surgery.
