Dental Implants / All-On-4 in Saskatoon
Dental Implants At Saskatoon Downtown Dentist
When a tooth is lost, the gap does more than change a smile. It can make chewing harder, shift nearby teeth, and affect how your bite works. One option is a dental implant. It’s a small post that goes into the jawbone. Over time, the bone heals around it. Later, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached, giving the tooth back in both look and function.
Who They Work For
Not everyone is ready for an implant right away. The gums need to be healthy. The bone has to be strong enough to hold the post. Sometimes extra steps, like grafting, are needed first. Age alone doesn’t rule it out. What matters is the overall health picture.
What The Process Looks Like
The dentist takes X-rays and plans the position carefully. The post is placed with local anesthesia. Healing takes a few months, because the bone needs time to bond with the implant. In plain terms, that’s what makes it solid. During healing, a temporary tooth may be used. Once everything is stable, the final restoration is attached.
About All-On-4
For patients missing most or all teeth in one arch, All-on-4 is another option. Four implants are placed in the jaw, and they support a full arch of teeth. It often means fewer procedures compared to replacing each tooth individually. The approach is not for everyone, but it can be effective in the right cases.
Living With Implants
Daily brushing and flossing are still essential. The dentist will explain how to clean around the implants and under the attached teeth. Regular checkups are also important. With that routine, implants can last many years.
