Are you struggling with…
Are your dentures loose, making it hard to enjoy your meals?
Do you dislike wearing dentures because they slip, dull your sense of taste, or make you anxious about them falling out in public?
Has missing a few teeth made chewing more challenging?
You simply want to enjoy biting into a steak or savoring corn on the cob again.
Do you feel self-conscious about your smile?
Whether it’s missing or broken teeth, their color or shape, something holds you back when it’s time to say “Cheese!”
Are you self-conscious about your smile or struggling to eat your favorite foods? Missing teeth can affect your confidence and oral health. Dental implants can transform your smile and restore your confidence.
The Power of Your Smile
Your smile is like a universal language, a confidence booster, and sometimes, the difference between a good day and a bad one - all rolled into one. But what happens when that smile is missing a few key players? Missing teeth, whether it's a single gap or multiple teeth, can be a real downer.
It's not just about aesthetics (although that's important too!), missing teeth can wreak havoc on your confidence, your ability to eat, and even your overall health. That’s what makes dental implants such a restorative game-changer. They can complete your smile and give you back the confidence to laugh, chew, and live life to the fullest.
What Are Dental Implants?
If you have missing teeth or a denture that moves when you eat and smile, dental implants can provide you with the solution. They are the closest thing you will ever have to your original teeth, and you’ll be able to chew with confidence and smile without the black gaps of missing teeth.
How Do Implants Work?
A dental implant is quite simply a titanium tooth root. Implants look and feel just like your normal teeth, and they provide a rock-solid foundation on which to sit a dental crown. Thanks to such a strong fit, dental implants do not require any special adhesives to stay in place, and patients can use them as they would use their natural teeth. Dental implants can not suffer from decay or cavities, and since they prevent the loss of bone, which normally occurs after a tooth is extracted, they are the most predictable, long-term solution for replacing teeth.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Missing teeth can cause oral health issues like misalignment and gum disease. Dental implants prevent these problems and maintain bone density, improving your overall well-being. They provide a natural-looking replacement while restoring the functionality of your smile.
Our Dental Implant Options
- Single Tooth Implants: Securely replace a single missing tooth with a custom-made crown. We place single-tooth implants securely into the space where the old tooth was and have a crown placed right on top. Your crown will be custom-made to mimic the shape of a natural tooth and feel completely normal to chew on – our objective is that nobody else can tell you have an implant crown, and after chewing and smiling with it like natural teeth, you might forget it’s there! In fact, we even match the color for a seamless smile.
- Multiple Teeth Implants: Replace several teeth with implant-supported bridges. If you are missing multiple teeth in an area, sometimes we can replace three or more of your teeth with only two implants. Similar to a dental bridge, two implants can be placed at either end of your gap to support multiple teeth in the area and restore your smile.
- Full Arch Implants: Restore all teeth in one or both jaws with fixed or removable options. If you’re missing all your teeth in one or both of your jaws and are looking for an option that will allow you to chew the food you want and smile with confidence, implants can be a life-changing procedure. There are multiple ways of restoring all the missing teeth, and the team at Cook Street Village Dental will discuss those options with you to see what suits you best. Two of the more popular options are teeth fixed in place, All-on-4 dental implants, or implant-supported removable dentures. A full arch of teeth attached to implants is the closest solution to having your natural teeth again.
What To Expect
Although you may be nervous about the whole dental implant process, you shouldn’t be concerned. Compared to having a tooth removed, the place of a dental implant is much more controlled, comfortable, and straightforward. Cook Street Village Dental prides itself on keeping all aspects of the implant process in-house, from the 3D X-ray and consultation to the surgery and scans to make the final crown: you know you’re in good hands! The first step of the process is a thorough examination and 3D X-ray. This will give our team all the information we need to see if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants and get all the information we need to replace your missing teeth. We will also take a digital scan of your mouth so we have a record of everything above and below the gums. We then meticulously plan the process from start to finish to make it as straightforward and successful as possible.

It's a truly comprehensive approach from your first visit to smiling with confidence!
Placing Your Implant: Using all the information we gained in the examination, the implant (or titanium tooth root) is placed in the jaw. Patients are given any prescriptions they need and are then seen one to two weeks later for a follow-up appointment. The implant fuses to the bone in approximately 8 to 12 weeks. As long as the patient follows the postoperative instructions, nothing needs to be done other than wait for the body to heal and integrate the implant into the jaw. After this stage, a scan of the implant and surrounding teeth is taken, and a custom-made crown is built for you. This includes the custom abutment, which is the part that secures the crown to the implant. Once all this is fabricated, the crown is secured to the implant.
The Cost of Dental Implants
Asking how much dental implants cost is like asking how much a car costs – there is a big difference between cars, and not everything suits everybody. For some people, a minivan is what they’re after, while others may want a convertible sports car, and there is no one solution for everyone. When comparing the price of dental implants, make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Some practices will advertise a seemingly affordable price for the dental implant. However, that may not include the crown or the other parts, so the real cost to you is much higher! To make it easier for our patients, we have provided some of the price ranges below. Please remember that every situation is different; after your comprehensive examination, 3D X-rays, and consultation, an exact quote for your entire treatment can be given.
