Dental Implants
Missing teeth can undermine your quality of life, making even simple tasks like chewing and speaking challenging at times.
At Smile Montreal, Drs. Charles and Patrick Casey can replace missing teeth with high-quality dental implants.
Learn how our Montreal, QC, dentists can transform your appearance and oral health with dental implants.
Dental Implants Offer Many Benefits
Because they do not slide around on the gums, implant-supported restorations such as dentures are often much more comfortable than removable options.
Beautiful restorative materials like porcelain mimic the appearance and reflective qualities of natural tooth enamel, so dental implants look and feel completely lifelike.
Missing teeth can result in jawbone deterioration. However, dental implants support the structure of the jaw and can create a foundation for a healthier smile.
If You Are Suffering From Tooth Loss Know You Are Not Alone
*According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research
While many patients report feelings of embarrassment due to missing teeth, it is actually a fairly common problem and certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Rather than live with tooth loss, you can undergo restorative treatment at Smile Montreal to improve your dental function and confidence.

Long-term tooth loss can unfortunately cause jawbone recession, which disqualifies some patients from standard dental implant treatment. While you can undergo bone grafting to supplement your jaw tissue, you may want to consider an alternative dental implant treatment known as All-on-4®.
The All-on-4 technique uses just four implant posts to secure a full denture. Rather than place the implants straight into the jaw, we insert them at strategic angles to maximize contact with the bone tissue. This ensures the same stability for an All-on-4 denture as any traditional implant-supported restoration. If you are missing most or all of your teeth and want to learn more about All-on-4, please contact our Montreal, QC, office to request a consultation.
Types of Implant-Supported Restorations
Implant-supported restorations are the prosthetic teeth that attach to the top of your dental implants. There are three main types of restorations, each designed for different levels of tooth loss:
While traditional crowns cap existing teeth, implant-supported crowns replace teeth altogether. A crown connects to a dental implant placed in the gap left by your missing tooth.
Implant-supported bridges usually replace between two and four missing teeth in a row. Depending on the location of the gap, they may require two or more implants for support.
Implant-supported dentures are designed for patients with extensive or complete tooth loss. Six to eight implants and a denture can replace an entire dental arch for enhanced comfort and function.
Advanced Technology for Superior Implant Dentistry
Our Montreal office utilizes the most up-to-date dental implant techniques and materials available. We are one of the few practices in Canada currently using the cutting-edge i-CAT® system to analyze and pinpoint the optimal locations in the jaw for implants. The i-CAT® system is similar to a regular CAT scan, although it produces detailed oral diagnostics without subjecting patients to uncomfortable conditions. The implant procedure at Smile Montreal is more precise and less invasive for the patient, increasing the long-term success of treatment.
We also work with nSequence® labs, the leader in surgical guides for implant dentistry, to precisely plan and perform your treatment with your unique final restoration in mind. These dental restorations—porcelain crowns, dental bridges, or implant-supported dentures—are crafted with the highest quality materials that look virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Dr. Casey's technique is very professional. My husband's gum filling and dental implant surgery are very successful. Now he can eat any foods he wants. I would strongly recommend my friends to go to this dental clinic for dental care, especially for difficult dental operations. Liwa Zhang
Take a Closer Look at the Implant Placement Process
Smile Montreal uses high-quality dental implants made from titanium or zirconia. Once they fuse with your jawbone, we will secure a custom-made dental prosthetic to restore your smile.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
"The implants and restorations stay in place permanently, so they will look, feel, and function your natural teeth."
Implant Preparation
During an initial consultation, we will develop a personalized treatment plan to decide which restorations are a good fit for your missing tooth or teeth. Your dentist will take dental x-rays to check whether your jawbone can support implants or if you need additional treatments to prepare for surgery. Dr. Casey may need to extract a damaged tooth or perform a bone graft.
Anesthetic
We will provide you with a local anesthetic to numb the area before the actual procedure. If you are still anxious about your dental work, we can offer sedation dentistry to ensure maximum comfort. These techniques include oral conscious sedation and intravenous sedation, which induce a relaxed state while you undergo the procedure.
Placing Implants and Recovery
Once the anesthesia takes effect, your dentist will place small titanium or zirconia posts in your jawbone. In the next four to six months after surgery, the implants will fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. In the meantime, we will provide you with a temporary restoration to wear for daily use.
Abutments and Dental Impressions
After you have healed, we connect prosthetic components called abutments to the titanium or zirconia dental implants. Your dentist will then take impressions and scan your mouth using our innovative E4D electronic imaging technology. These virtual scans provide a precise map of your teeth and bite to send to our trusted nSequence® Lab for a beautifully constructed restoration.
Securing Restorations
When your custom restoration is complete, we will schedule an appointment to have it fit. The dental prosthetic will be secured to the abutments, and any last-minute alterations will be made to ensure your comfort and oral function. Maintenance for dental implants is significantly easier and more convenient than alternative restorative options like removable dentures. The implants and restorations stay in place permanently, so they will look and act like your natural teeth.

View On GoogleA Long-Lasting Investment in Your Smile
The upfront cost of dental implants is typically higher than that of other tooth replacement options. However, because they are more durable and long-lasting than alternative treatments, implants are well worth the investment. Although your restorations will likely need to be replaced over the years, dental implants will typically last the rest of your life with proper care. You will simply need to brush, floss, and use mouthwash daily, just as you would for your natural teeth.
It is important to attend regular checkups and cleanings following implant treatment. While your restorations will not be subject to decay, gum disease could eventually cause the metal posts to become exposed. Continuing to practice good oral care can ensure healthy, beautiful results for years to come.
Alternatives to Dental Implants
:quality(70)/https://d3b3by4navws1f.cloudfront.net/1070875265.jpg)
Dental implants may not always be the best option for a patient. When it comes to tooth replacement, there are typically three options: a removable dental appliance, such as a complete denture or partial denture; a dental bridge; or dental implants. Dentures are removable and secured in place with the aid of an adhesive, and traditional bridges require a healthy adjacent tooth or teeth for support. However, while dentures and bridges are typically less expensive, most patients find dental implants to be worth the investment for their added convenience, durability, and natural-looking results.
