Single Tooth Implant:

At Country Dental in Fergus, our dental implant specialists are dedicated to helping you achieve a confident and healthy smile.

Missing a tooth can lead to more than just an unsightly gap; it can affect the alignment of surrounding teeth, creating spaces that trap plaque and increase the risk of tooth decay and infection.

Implant dentistry offers an effective solution for tooth replacement. Unlike dentures, which can shift or become uncomfortable, dental implants are surgically anchored into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth.

With dental implants, you can enjoy the natural look and feel of real teeth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile just as you did before losing a tooth. Most importantly, implants help prevent bone loss, preserving your bite and smile for years to come.

Full Arch Implant Solution:

The permanent solution to replacing teeth without a denture: This approach to implant dentistry is great for patients who are looking for a permanent solution to replacing their entire arch of teeth. Country Dental has implemented full arch dentistry which allows the patient to leave with their set of temporary teeth the same day.

Call us to schedule an consult appointment with Dr. Albana Rama if you are interested in this procedure.

Procedure Steps for Implant

At Country Dental, we follow a detailed process for dental implants to ensure the best outcomes for your oral health. Here’s how it works:

CBCT Imaging: We begin with a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan to assess the width and length of your jawbone. This information is crucial for determining the feasibility of implant placement in Phase I.
Phase I – Implant Placement: If your jawbone has adequate density, placing the implant is a straightforward procedure, and you can expect faster healing—typically within 7 days. However, if there isn’t enough bone, we may need to perform a bone graft procedure, which can involve using bone from human or animal sources. This will require a healing period of about 3 weeks.
Phase II- Osseointegration: During this phase, the implant fuses with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. The initial placement of the implants is followed by the closure of the tissue, and this healing process usually takes 4 to 6 months. We use advanced laser technology to uncover the implant head once healing is complete. At this point, we place an additional piece called a healing abutment, which supports the tissue as it heals.
Crown Placement: The final step involves creating a custom crown. We utilize digital impression technology, such as CEREC, which captures detailed images and videos of the implant head, gums, and surrounding tissues. This digital information is sent to our lab, where the crown is meticulously fabricated to match your natural teeth.
Treatment Timeline: Depending on your treatment plan, implants can be completed in a single day or spread out over a period of 6 to 8 months. Factors influencing this timeline include bone quality, density, and the condition of your gingival tissues.

With our comprehensive approach, we aim to provide you with a seamless experience and a functional, beautiful smile. If you have any questions or need further clarification, don’t hesitate to reach out!

After Care for Your Implant

Taking care of your dental implant after placement is crucial for its success and longevity. Here are some essential aftercare tips:

Oral Hygiene: Maintain a thorough oral hygiene routine. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Be gentle around the implant area to avoid irritation.
Flossing: Floss daily, using a floss threader or special implant floss if necessary. This helps remove plaque and food particles around the implant and prevents gum disease.
Dietary Choices: In the initial healing period, stick to soft foods to minimize pressure on the implant. Avoid hard, chewy, or sticky foods that could stress the implant site.
Avoid Tobacco: If you smoke or use tobacco products, consider quitting. Tobacco can hinder healing and increase the risk of complications.
Regular Dental Visits: Schedule follow-up appointments with your dentist for regular checkups. Your dentist will monitor the implant’s integration with your jawbone and overall oral health.
Watch for Signs of Complications: Be attentive to any signs of discomfort, swelling, or unusual sensations around the implant. If you experience pain, infection, or movement, contact your dentist immediately.
Avoid Grinding: If you have a habit of grinding your teeth, discuss this with your dentist. They may recommend a nightguard to protect your implant and natural teeth.

By following these aftercare tips, you’ll help ensure the long-term success of your dental implant and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
