Keeping Your Smile Bright & Clean
If you’re in need of a tooth replacement, you have a number of options available for their replacement. If you would like to avoid bridges, or partial or complete dentures, then dental implants may be the answer you’re looking for.
Dental implants are used to replace missing roots, supporting artificial replacement teeth that resemble and perform like the natural teeth they’re replacing. Once the dental implant is in place, a prosthodontist will match and place an artificial tooth on the implant.

Dental implants require the same care as your regular teeth. Proper oral hygiene including regular brushing and flossing, a healthy diet and regular check-ups are all ways to keep your dental implants looking and feeling great.
Your dietary options will be restricted for about two days following your surgery. At this time, you should only be consuming liquids and softs foods. You can gradually begin incorporating foods from your regular diet after this 24–48-hour period. Most individuals resume their regular diet a week after their dental implant surgery.
Some soft food suggestions include: mashed potatoes, milkshakes, fruit smoothies, pudding, and yogurts. Contact our team for more diet recommendations to help throughout your dental implant surgery recovery process.
Yes, but only a specially trained dentist should be the one to remove your dental implants – with use of local anaesthetic. The dentist will need to delicately remove the crown, the abutment, and the actual implant. DO NOT try to remove your dental implants without a professional!
