Dental Implants

Missing a tooth or several teeth? Dr. Gary Klein at SmileSolvers near St. Clair and Dufferin can help you restore the beauty and function of your smile with dental implants.

What are Dental Implants?

Unlike fillings or crowns that are bonded to the tooth, dental implants are surgically implanted into the jawbone below the gum line. The part of the implant that is placed in the bone is made of titanium which is biocompatible with your bone. Your bone will heal around the implant in such a way that it will be absolutely "solid". After the implant has healed, Dr. Klein can attach a dental crown, bridge, or denture to them. These are designed to be long-lasting and, with care, can last for many years. They look and function just like your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are exciting for many reasons. They will help with your appearance as the bone is maintained where the implants are. Otherwise, bone loss will continue where teeth are missing, leaving in some cases a face with a sunken-in, more aged appearance. With implants, patient comfort and appearance are vastly improved while boosting your self-confidence. Chewing is easier and the ability to taste is better.

Dr. Gary Klein can offer you solutions that have the implants fixed into place so that they will not be removable. As well, Dr. Klein can offer a removable option so that implants are incorporated into the design of the removable denture. This eliminates problems such as loose dentures when speaking, swallowing and eating, and will provide you with a more comfortable fit.

As each patient is unique, treatment options will be discussed with you, the patient, taking into consideration the health, quantity, and quality of your jaw bone.

Implants are a very exciting option for the right individual. We invite you to make an appointment at our dental office at St. Clair and Dufferin to find out your options, and see how implants can impact your life!
