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 life-like.
Missing teeth can result in unhealthy and unattractive bone deterioration. However, dental implants support the structure of the jaw and can create a foundation for a healthier smile.

A family run office that has been in business for over 50 years. Both Father and Son Dentists, as well as their Hygienists are professional and remain on the cutting edge of technology. Everyone is caring and friendly. Highly recommended.
View On GoogleAm I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Thanks to advancements in restorative dentistry, and Smile Montreal's wide range of available procedures, almost anyone with a missing tooth is a candidate for dental implants. However, before recommending implants, Dr. Casey will evaluate a number of factors that affect candidacy, including:

Patients must have strong jawbone tissue to support dental implants. If you have insufficient bone structure, the dentist can perform a bone graft to add volume and density to the jaw.

Patients who practice good oral hygiene and limit certain habits will have more success with dental implants. Tobacco use can hinder the body's ability to heal, so implants are generally recommended for non-smokers.

The surgery is also not suggested for patients who suffer from periodontal or gum disease. However, the dentist can treat any oral health issues before treating you with implants.

Surgery is never recommended for patients who suffer from severe illness or who are in poor overall health. Conditions such as diabetes can particularly impact the success of implants due to the patient's high glucose levels.

A Long-Lasting Investment in Your Smile
The upfront cost of dental implants is typically higher than that of other restorations. However, because they are more durable and long-lasting than other options, implants are well worth the investment. Although the restorations will likely need replacement 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.
Is it important to attend regular check-ups and cleanings following implant treatment. While your restoration will not be subject to decay, gum disease could eventually cause the metal posts to become exposed. Continuing to practice good oral care will ensure healthy long-lasting results for years to come.
Advanced Techbology for Superior Implants
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 location of the implant sites. 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 to the patient, increasing long-term success.
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 crown, dental bridge, or implant-supported dentures - are crafted with the highest quality materials that look virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

"The implants stay in place permanently, so they will look and act like 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. The dentist will take dental x-rays to check whether your jawbone can support implants or if you need additional treatments to prepare your mouth. Sometimes, Dr. Casey will 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 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, the dentist will place small titanium posts in your jawbone. In the next four to six months after surgery, the titanium implants will fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration. In the meantime, we will provide you with a temporary tooth to wear for daily use.
Abutments and Dental Impressions
After you have healed, we connect a prosthetic component called an abutment to the dental implant. The 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 superiorly constructed restoration.
Securing Restorations
When the custom restoration is complete, we will schedule an appointment to have it fit. The dental prosthetic is secured to the abutment and any last-minute alterations are made. Maintenance for dental implants is significantly easier and more convenient than alternative restorative options such as dentures. The implants stay in place permanently, so they will look and act like your natural teeth.

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 typically are three options: a removable dental appliance, such as a complete denture or partial denture; a dental bridge; or a dental implant. Dentures are removable and secured in place with the aid of an adhesive, while traditional bridges necessitate 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 and natural-looking results.
