Replace Missing Teeth With Dental Implants
Dental Implants Oakville
Restore Your Smile
Permanent Solution for Lost Teeth
Implant Dentistry Basics
Dr. Sidiura is pleased to offer dental implants in Oakville. These are a permanent solution to missing teeth – they are affixed and not removable. They consist of three parts. The implant post is a small, titanium screw; this is the part that is surgically inserted into the jaw to act as an artificial tooth root. An abutment connects the post to the dental restoration, which may be a dental crown, bridge, or denture.
Benefits of
Dental Implants
Advantages of Tooth Replacements
If you have a gap, choosing a tooth replacement option will fill the space in. In addition to the cosmetic aspect, this helps restore proper oral function, making it easier to speak and eat again, which can be difficult with lost teeth. Replacing the teeth will also prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting towards the gap, maintaining proper dental alignment. When teeth shift and move out of their proper positions, forces on the jaw become uneven, and areas of the jawbone are not stimulated adequately, resulting in bone loss.
Choosing Dental Implants
Dental implants offer distinct benefits for tooth replacement. They very closely resemble natural teeth in appearance and function. Because the posts integrate with your jawbone, they are very stable and more closely mimic natural teeth for easier chewing and speaking. Implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, so are suitable when remaining natural teeth are not strong enough to support a bridge. Additionally, by mimicking tooth roots, they provide better stimulation to your jawbone, preventing bone loss. Implants are easy to care for, as you simply brush and floss as normal. With proper care, they can last for a very long time.
A Natural Look, Function and Feel
The dental restoration is custom-made to fit your mouth and match the natural colour and shape of your teeth. Dr. Sidiura ensures a good fit for comfort, and a good colour match so the replacement teeth blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile. Implants provide a very discreet restoration that works and feels like your natural teeth.

Implant Surgery
Are You a Good Candidate?
Many people can benefit from a dental implant procedure and can successfully and safely undergo the surgery. Dr. Sidiura will complete a comprehensive evaluation, however, to make sure you are a good candidate for dental implants. You will need healthy gums and sufficient jaw bone density to support the implant. Sometimes, additional dental treatments may be needed before conducting the implant procedure. If you have any medical conditions or are on medications, let us know.
Lifestyle adjustments may be recommended, as necessary. If you smoke, quitting or avoiding for as long as possible before and after the surgery is important to ensure optimal blood flow and tissue recovery. Alcohol also compromises healing and may increase the risk of bleeding and other complications.
After assessment, Dr. Sidiura will recommend a dental implant treatment plan, tailored to your needs, and guide you through the process.
Caring for Dental Implants
Caring for dental implants is easy; you can treat your dental implants like your natural teeth, but good dental hygiene is essential. Brush and floss regularly, and schedule regular dental check-ups to monitor the health of your implants and address any potential issues promptly. If you notice any pain, swelling, or bleeding in the area, or if your implant feels loose, contact Dr. Sidiura immediately.
