To replace a lost tooth, dental implants are surgically inserted into your jaw. Implants are a longer-term, more permanent alternative to dental bridges and dentures for replacing lost teeth.

Implants are usually implanted in less than an hour at a single session. Within three to four days after the implant is placed, the initial pain and swelling on your gums should go away. Please get in touch with our Brampton dental office if, after 5 to 7 days, the pain and swelling persist. In contrast, it takes 3 to 6 months for your bone, where the titanium rods are inserted, to completely mend. A permanent crown may be positioned after the protective cap covering the implant has healed for three to six months.

You can start to realize that your face is starting to collapse into itself if the tooth is not replaced. This occurs because your jaw's bone structure and structural integrity are not supported. Should this occur, a bone transplant could be necessary. The procedure of restoring or enhancing the bone around a lost tooth is known as bone grafting. When a tooth is extracted, the supporting bony structure is lost, which usually results in bone loss. To provide a supportive framework for the implant, bone may need to be supplemented during placement. This is why we advise getting an implant as soon as possible to replace a lost tooth since it typically prevents face collapse and the need for bone grafting in the future. Additionally, this avoids two healing times, one for the implant and one for the extraction.
