Dental Implants
The Permanent Solution You Have Been Looking For
Dental Implants in Toronto and North York
You deserve a smile that feels complete. Whether you lost a tooth to decay, injury, or gum disease, a gap in your smile affects more than just your appearance. It changes how you eat, how you speak, and how confident you feel every single day. At Celina Dentistry, we offer dental implants that look, feel, and function exactly like your natural teeth, built to last a lifetime.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed directly into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Over the following weeks, the implant fuses with your bone through a natural process called osseointegration. Once fully integrated, a custom-crafted crown is attached on top, completing the restoration. The result is a replacement tooth that is indistinguishable from the ones around it and stable enough to bite, chew, and smile with total confidence.
This is not a temporary fix or a workaround. It is the closest thing to regrowing your natural tooth.
Why Implants Are the Gold Standard
Unlike a dental bridge, implants do not require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth. Unlike dentures, they do not shift, slip, or require adhesive. And unlike both, implants actively preserve your jawbone. When a tooth is missing, the bone beneath it begins to shrink, which gradually changes the shape of your face. An implant is the only tooth replacement option that prevents this from happening.
Implants are also the most durable option available. With proper care and regular dental visits, they are designed to last a lifetime.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Most healthy adults who are missing one or more teeth are candidates for dental implants. The main requirements are healthy gum tissue and sufficient jawbone density to anchor the implant securely. Patients who have experienced bone loss may still qualify after a bone grafting procedure. We conduct a thorough evaluation at your consultation, including digital imaging, to determine the best approach for your specific anatomy.
The Implant Process at Celina Dentistry
We walk you through every stage from start to finish. The process begins with a detailed consultation and treatment planning appointment. The implant is then placed surgically under local anesthetic. A healing period follows to allow osseointegration. Once the implant is secure, your custom crown is attached. Throughout the process, temporaries keep your smile complete so you are never walking around with a gap.
Real Results That Change Lives
Patients who choose dental implants consistently describe the outcome as life-changing. They eat the foods they stopped eating. They smile in photos again. They stop thinking about their teeth altogether, which is exactly how it should be.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the dental implant process take?
The full process from implant placement to final crown typically takes three to six months. This timeline accounts for the healing and osseointegration period needed before the crown can be attached. Cases involving bone grafting may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline at your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Is the procedure painful?
The placement is performed under local anesthetic, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the recovery is. Soreness and mild swelling in the days after surgery are normal and are well-controlled with medication. The majority of patients return to normal activities the following day.
How long do dental implants last?
Implants are designed to be permanent. The titanium post can last a lifetime with proper care. The crown on top may eventually need to be replaced after many years, similar to how a natural tooth might need a crown over time.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Some plans cover a portion of implant treatment. Our team at Celina Dentistry will help you understand your coverage and discuss payment options so that cost is not a barrier to the care you need.
What if I have been missing a tooth for a long time?
Long-term tooth loss often leads to bone resorption in that area. You may need a bone graft before implant placement. This is a common and routine part of implant treatment and does not disqualify you from getting an implant. We will assess your bone at the consultation and let you know clearly what is involved.
