Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

At Innova Dental, we understand the importance of a complete and healthy smile.

Dental implants consist of titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jaw bone to serve as artificial tooth roots to replace missing teeth. This titanium material is biocompatible, allowing the implant to fuse with the surrounding bone in a process called osseointegration. Once integrated, dental implants provide a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth. Our implant dentists plan each implant placement, considering factors such as bone quantity, bone quality, and general and oral health to ensure predictable outcome for our patients.

Our practice offers comprehensive dental implant services, from initial consultation and thorough examination to implant surgery and post-operative care. Restore chewing and function with dental implants and regain your smile's strength with Innova Dental.

Schedule your consultation today to learn more about your dental implant options and take the first step towards a complete smile.

Dental Implant Treatment Options at Innova Dental 

Dental implants may be considered as part of a treatment plan for patients with missing teeth, damaged teeth that cannot be restored, or where additional stability is required for a denture. At Innova Dental, our clinicians assess each individual’s oral health, bone support, and functional needs before recommending whether implant treatment is appropriate.

Missing Teeth

Dental implants offer a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth, providing the ablity to be stable and support for prosthetic teeth.

Bone Loss

Bone loss can weaken the jawbone and surrounding teeth, which may lead to further tooth loss and changes in facial structure.

Gum Disease

Dental implants can be a option for patients with gum disease who have lost teeth, offering support to the surrounding teeth.

Frame 44648 (50)
Implant Failure

Dental implants may be an option in management of implant failure which can occur in some cases. Factors such as inadequate bone quantity or capacity, poor oral hygiene, and smoking can contribute to implant failure.

Jawbone Reconstruction

In cases of significant bone loss, jawbone reconstruction procedure such as bone grafting may be necessary to augment the bone volume and create a suitable foundation for dental implants.

Complications from Dentures

Traditional dentures may offer a temporary solution for missing teeth, and they can present their own set of complications. Dentures do not address the underlying issue of bone loss, which can continue to progress over time.

The Benefits of Dental Implants for Natural Teeth

Group 543.png (20) (1)

Dental implants are designed to replace missing teeth with prosthetic crowns that are colour-matched and shaped to complement the remaining natural teeth. This approach helps restore chewing ability while maintaining a consistent appearance across the dental arch.

By replacing missing teeth with dental implants, you can maintain the health and support of the surrounding teeth and prevent bone loss, drifting or tipping of teeth in the jawbone.

Implants are securely anchored into the jaw bone, eliminating concerns of slippage or discomfort while eating, speaking, or engaging in daily activities. By restoring stability, implants may support a more consistent biting and chewing function as part of daily oral activities.

Missing several teeth can lead to changes in facial structure, like a sunken appearance or sagging of the cheeks. Dental implants help to support with the natural contours of your face by maintaining the bone structure of the jaw. 

With proper care and maintenance, implants are designed to be a long term option for replacement of missing teeth. As implants do not need to rely on neighbouring teeth for support, dental implants may require fewer replacements compared to traditional dentures and bridges.

Guided Implants

We offer guided implant procedures, which use digital planning and surgical guides to assist with the placement of dental implants. Guided implant surgery is intended to support accuracy in planning and positioning compared to freehand techniques.

  • Designed to support accurate planning: Guided implant surgery utilizes computer-guided technology to create a detailed 3D model of the patient's jawbone and surrounding structures. This allows our implant dentists to plan the placement of dental implants, with optimal positioning for durability.

  • Minimally Invasive: Guided implant surgery is minimally invasive compared to traditional implant placement techniques. By pre-planning the procedure and using surgical guides, we can minimise trauma to surrounding tissues, reduce post-operative discomfort, and suppport the healing process.

  • Customised Treatment: Each guided implant procedure is tailored to the individual patient's oral anatomy and treatment. With guided surgery, we can customise the size, angle, and depth of implant placement to get the optimal functional outcomes.

  • Results: Guided implant surgery uses digital planning tools to assist with implant positioning. This approach is intended to support accurate placement into the jawbone, which may help the implant integrate with surrounding bone. Treatment outcomes vary for each patient and will be discussed during the consultation.

  • Our Process: Guided implant surgery uses digital planning tools to assist in treatment planning and placement. This approach is intended to support the planning and surgical process, and in some cases may help reduce the number of clinical steps. Treatment needs and recovery times vary between patients and will be discussed during your consultation.

  • Care: At Innova Dental, our dentists provide guided implant procedures, including consultation, treatment planning, surgical placement, and follow-up care. We aim to support patients throughout each stage of the process and discuss expected outcomes during consultation.

Navigating the Process

Treatment Planning

The plan will outline the details of the implant procedure, including the anesthesia or sedation options available to ensure comfort during the procedure. We'll also discuss associated risks and provide you with instructions on pre-operative preparations and what to expect on the day of treatment.

vaccines
Anesthesia Administration

On the day of extraction, our team will administer the anesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Depending on preference and the complexity of the treatment, options may include local anesthesia to numb the implant site, oral sedation for relaxation, or general anesthesia if you'd like to be asleep for the duration of treatment.

Implant Placement

Once anesthetised and sedated, our dentists will begin the implant procedure. Using required instruments and procedures, titanium implants will be carefully placed in the jawbone. Our goal is to be as possible to minimize trauma to surrounding tissues while ensuring accurate placement of the dental implant.

Recovery and Follow-Up

The recovery period following implant treatment varies from patient to patient but typically lasts several days to a week. During this time, it's essential to follow our post-operative instructions closely and avoid activities that may interfere with healing, such as smoking or strenuous physical exertion. We'll be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have and will schedule follow-up appointments as needed to check your recovery is progressing smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore common queries about Dental Implants.

Implant surgery involves the placement of titanium implants into the jawbone. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to support patient comfort. After the implants are placed, a healing period is required for osseointegration, during which the implants fuse with the surrounding bone.

The recovery period after implant surgery varies depending on the individual patient and the complexity of the procedure. Most patients can get some discomfort and swelling immediately following surgery, which typically subsides within a few days to a week.

Guided implant surgery uses digital planning and surgical guides to assist with the placement of dental implants. This technology is intended to support accurate planning and positioning compared to freehand techniques. Outcomes and recovery times vary for each patient and will be discussed during consultation.

Yes, dental implants can be used to replace single, multiple, or even all missing teeth. Implant-supported bridges and implant-supported dentures are common solutions for patients with multiple missing teeth.

Dental implants offer several benefits over traditional dentures to support the improved stability, comfort, and functionality. Unlike dentures, which may slip or shift while eating or speaking, dental implants are securely anchored in the jawbone.

In cases where the jawbone lacks sufficient density or volume to support implants, bone grafting may be necessary to augment the bone structure. Synthetic or natural bone grafts can help stimulate bone growth and support of implant surgery.

The cost of dental implants varies depending on factors such as the number of implants needed, the complexity of the procedure, and any additional treatments required (such as bone grafting). During your initial consultation, your implant dentist will provide you with a treatment plan and cost estimate.
