Most people with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. However, you will need to be in good overall oral health and have enough healthy jawbone tissue available to support your implants. A comprehensive dental evaluation is needed to determine if implants are the best solution for your specific needs.

Caring for dental implants is easy and requires the same daily oral hygiene routine as your natural teeth. Regular dental checkups and cleanings are also recommended to ensure the longevity of your implants.

The entire process can take several months to complete, as the implant needs to fuse with the jawbone before the permanent dental crown can be attached.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and sedation, so you won't feel any pain during the surgery. After the procedure, some discomfort and swelling is normal, but it can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

Caring for veneers is just like caring for natural teeth, requiring regular brushing and flossing and regular visits to the dentist for cleanings and checkups.

Yes, veneers can be used to address cosmetic issues in a single tooth or multiple teeth. They are a versatile solution for patients in need of customized attention.

Veneers are used to fix a wide range of cosmetic flaws and imperfections, such as stains, discolouration, chips, worn-down enamel, gaps between teeth, and misaligned teeth. We recommend veneers to patients who want to dramatically improve their smile without the need for extensive dental work.

The process of getting veneers is generally pain-free, although you may experience some sensitivity in your teeth following the procedure.

Veneers are a long-lasting cosmetic solution, but they may need to be replaced over time due to normal wear and tear or damage. Only your dentist can remove your veneers for repair or replacement, as attempting to do so yourself will cause damage to your teeth.
