Edentulous or toothless gaps appear after you have loosened a tooth or teeth. Once these spaces are not restored in timely, undesirable changes may occur in these areas which may affect your oral health. For instance, teeth migration may happen, resulting in the disruption of critical oral processes such as aesthetics, phonation and mastication. This can also become prone to cavities and other oral health problems. In this case, more complicated and expensive preliminary operations might be needed before the prosthetic restoration can be conducted. Hence, dental implants in Toronto are often recommended for a quick surgical operation to prevent such a case from happening.
Though there are a number of ways to restore missing teeth, dental implants in Toronto are the most common choice among oral patients. The implant is done by surgically inserting one metal device (metal post) or more into your jawbone. These implants are made to support prosthetic restoration such as bridges, crowns, and dentures but they can also serve as an orthodontic anchor to straighten or align teeth. During the surgical procedure, the dental implants will be fixed into your jawbone. The implant then goes through Osseo integration, a biologic process where the metal devices form a complete bond to your bone.
When it comes to healing, the time needed for the implant to fully heal usually goes around 3 to 6 months. After being healed completely, the dental implants in Toronto will be attached with artificial support called an abutment to hold the dental prosthesis. Though traditional dental bridges are still used today, dental implants tend to replace them or exclusively support them. One more option is a removable denture, a single prosthetic device that replaces several missing teeth. It is being held in place either by suction if there are no natural teeth left or by clasping the remaining teeth.
