Dental Implants- A lasting solution to a missing teeth

Missing a tooth can affect how you eat, speak, and smile. A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the tooth root, fuses with your jawbone, and supports a natural-looking crown, so the finished tooth looks and feels like it never left. ### Why patients choose implants Implants are widely considered the closest option to a natural tooth. They stay stable for years, help protect the jawbone from shrinking after tooth loss, and let you chew and smile with confidence. Because each crown is shade-matched to the teeth around it, the result blends right in. ### The five-step implant journey At Morgan Heights Dental Centre, your treatment is guided by Dr. Wong, an AAID Fellow and ABOI Diplomate, using three-dimensional planned surgery. 1. Cone Beam CT scan — a 3D map of your jaw so we can plan the exact position, angle, and depth of the implant. 2. Planning — we design the placement digitally before any treatment begins. 3. Placement — the implant is placed under local anesthetic, with sedation available if you'd prefer to relax through the visit. 4. Healing — over about four to six months, the implant bonds with your jawbone to create a strong foundation. 5. Your new crown — we craft a custom crown and match the shade to your natural teeth.
