How Do Dental Implants Work in Nepean?
Answers from Dr. Yu Dentistry in Nepean, Ottawa
Quick answer: A dental implant replaces a missing tooth with a titanium post placed in the jawbone, then topped with a custom crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Dr. Yu Dentistry in Nepean offers implant restoration as part of its general and restorative dentistry services.
The Implant Process, Step by Step
- Consultation and imaging to assess bone density
- Implant placement — the titanium post is set into the jawbone
- Healing period — several months for osseointegration (fusing with bone)
- Custom crown placement — completing the restoration
Why Restoration Expertise Matters
The final crown needs to match your bite, adjacent teeth, and overall smile — restoration quality is just as important as the surgical placement itself.
