Periodontal treatment is necessary when various conditions affect the health of your gums and the regions of your jawbone that hold your teeth in place.
You’re not alone: 69% of adults ages 35 to 44 have lost at least one tooth, and 26% lose all their permanent teeth by 74. Among dozens of periodontists in Mississauga, our expertly trained and dedicated specialists can help you reclaim your healthy, beautiful smile with dental implants. More people are getting a second chance at their smile — there was a 6.3% increase in dental implant procedures in 2020 and as much as 23% more expected by 2026.
Dental implants are not the artificial teeth themselves. Made of titanium, dental implants are artificial roots of teeth fused with your jawbone, creating a solid base for artificial teeth. Once implants are attached, these can anchor your new teeth in place. The result is a fully restored smile that looks and functions like your natural teeth.
Only dental implants can fully replace the natural look and function of missing teeth. Made with tiny titanium posts that are bonded with the jawbone, implants give you a strong foundation for replacement teeth. See why our periodontists recommend dental implants:
Everyone knows that dentists help keep smiles strong and healthy. But can they save lost permanent teeth? This is what our periodontists do — dental specialists who study for three more years after dental school, focusing on the gums, bones, and tissues supporting the teeth.
Periodontists treat periodontal diseases, such as periodontitis, gum recession, and gingivitis. Most importantly, they specialize in surgically replacing lost and severely damaged teeth with dental implants. At Periodontal Associates, we restore your healthy smile with dental implants that look, feel, and function like natural teeth — a permanent fix for long-lasting oral health, and talking, eating, and smiling confidently.
Restore your smile with Periodontal Associates’ five-step dental implant procedure.
Your periodontist will perform a full dental exam, including x-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your oral health and the need for dental implants. We’ll look at your medical and dental history and create your personalized treatment plan for replacing missing teeth. We’ll discuss anesthesia options and the prescription of antibiotics to prevent infection.
Your periodontist will remove any remaining parts of the damaged tooth, and assess the surrounding tissues and jawbone. If the jawbone is too fragile or isn’t thick enough, your periodontist will place a bone graft to strengthen the base for the implant.
Your periodontist will make an incision in the gums to expose the bone, then drill holes where the titanium posts will be placed. These posts will serve as the new tooth root implanted deep into the bone. To cover the gap where your tooth is missing, you can wear a temporary partial denture while waiting for bone growth.
Once the titanium implant is placed, osseointegration — the process of bone growth and fusion with the surface of the implant — begins. This can take a few months, and creates a solid base for the replacement tooth, much like the roots of natural teeth. Once complete, your periodontist will place the abutment, or the piece where the crown of the replacement tooth is attached.
Once your gums are healed, your periodontist will take impressions of your mouth and remaining teeth to create the crown. You can choose either removable or fixed replacements. And there you have it — a brand-new smile that lasts a lifetime with proper oral hygiene and healthy lifestyle habits.
Dental implants consist of a series of procedures, with progress and recovery depending on individual dental needs. These factors influence recovery and full restoration of your new teeth:
Dental implants are permanent: they’re designed to replace missing teeth and restore your healthy smile for life. For most people, implants can last up to 25 years or more, with proper oral hygiene and dental care. Here’s how dental implants can last a lifetime:
Every smile is unique, and so is every dental implant procedure. Dental implants can cost from $1,500 to $6,000 per implant in Canada, depending on individual tooth restoration and dental care needs. The bottom line is dental implants are an investment in restored strong and healthy teeth:
Today, many insurance providers now cover dental implants. As a result, replacing missing teeth and restoring your oral health has become more accessible and affordable. Keep in mind that some insurers still consider implants as elective or cosmetic treatments; check with your provider and see how much is covered.
