Dental Implants: Experience the Joy of Chewing and Having Teeth Again!
Missing Teeth? Trouble Chewing? Problem Solved!
You don’t have to go on suffering with the embarrassment and chewing difficulties caused by missing teeth. Dental implants are like metallic roots, made of biocompatible titanium, that are sugically inserted into the jawbone. They serve as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. You can get just one implant for a missing tooth, or replace all of your teeth using implants, for a completely restored smile!
The Advantages of Dental Implants:
- Implants look and feel just like natural teeth
- Chew the foods you love again!
- Smile confidently, especially if replacing a front tooth!
- Replacing missing teeth prevents further bone loss in that area
- Replacing missing teeth helps better your overall health
Dr. Simmonds and Dr. Christian are the brilliant Doctors that implanted my teeth and they did a outstanding job! Dr. Christian is a God-send, and I love the work she has done & brought my smile back to life! I don’t know how to thank them for restoring my smile making this lady feel like a million dollars with my million dollar smile!

Why Choose Dental Implants?
There are three methods of replacing teeth: Fixed Bridgework, Dentures, and Implants. What makes Implants a good choice, or the best choice?
Implants are the only restoration that makes you feel as if you have your own teeth again. You can chew and smile confidently, especially when replacing a front tooth.
Implants stand alone and are not attached to an adjacent tooth like a fixed bridge. If something happens to the tooth beside it we can either fix that tooth or place another implant. However, if the tooth supporting a fixed bridge is damaged, the whole bridge has to be removed.
The longer you are without teeth, the more bone is lost, and the less bone we have to work with. This why Dentures loosen and no amount of Fixodent works. Loose Dentures can be stabilized with a few well-placed implants allowing you to smile and chew confidently again.
If you cannot chew properly, your diet is restricted creating other health problems.
Social confidence: As one ages, being able to go out and enjoy a meal with friends is an important social activity. If you have many missing teeth or loose dentures, this is difficult and older people, especially, start to retreat.

From Our Doctors: What You Need to Know
Why are We So Concerned About Missing Teeth?
“Your mouth really IS attached to your body.”
At Village Dental Group, everything your Dentists do is to ensure your mouth is — and remains — a biologically stable, functional part of your body. The results look good, but that isn’t our primary purpose. Replacing teeth is a vital part of helping ensure good overall health.
Each tooth can almost be considered to be a separate organ: it has its own blood and nerve supply. These nerves have 2 responses: proprioception whereby the nerve fibres let the brain know which tooth is sending a signal, and the pain response which is how the patient can say “this tooth hurts”.

How Are Teeth Lost?
We may not be able to restore them due to fracture, a failed Root Canal or extensive decay.
Periodontal Disease or gum disease can damage bone around teeth, loosening them until they have to be removed. Sometimes they come out on their own!
The permanent tooth may be missing so when the baby tooth falls out, there is a space.
Traumatic injury to the mouth or jaw area.
Extraction: People may be unaware that teeth can be fixed and saved, so allow them to be extracted instead.
Missing Teeth Can Cause Bone Loss
As part of natural aging process, and after loss of teeth, the jawbone can undergo resorbtion which generally decreases bone height and width. Bone actually needs to be stressed somewhat to remain healthy. When missing teeth, bone in those regionsis no longer stressed and can resorb.

Why Should You Replace Missing Teeth?
The Sole purpose of teeth is to chew food to provide nourishment for our bodies.
Chewing allows a healthy diet: If you can’t chew properly, you are restricted to a certain foods, usually soft foods, this can create other health problems as soft foods are usually starchy and devoid of fibre and other nutrients.
Chewing stimulates the digestive process and gets the stomach ready for digestion. Today we are encouraged to eat a wide variety of foods, especially fibrous and crunchy foods, to keep the digestive tract healthy,
TMJ: The teeth and jaws have a special role in our skeletal system. Our lower jaw isn’t attached to the skull; it hinges open and closed by a joint called the TMJ, or Temperomandibular Joint. The relationship between teeth and muscle stabilizes this joint. Missing teeth which prevent the jaws from working properly can cause an imbalance, resulting in clicking and pain.
Clenching and Grinding: Apart from stress, missing teeth can also cause us to grind and clench our teeth together.

Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Find Out If You’re a Good Candidate for Dental Impalnts
Not everyone can receive Dental Implants. Certain health conditions and medications can prevent you from being a candidate for dental implants. Candidacy is determined after an oral exam, analysis and consultation with our staff Periodontist, Dr. Simmonds, who is a certified specialist in Dental Implants. In the event that some patients wish to go to sleep for this procedure, we work with a Dental Anesthesia Specialist. In all cases, Implants require diligent oral hygiene and proper care. Our Hygienist will show you how to properly care for your dental implant to ensure they last a long time!
