You may not be a candidate for dental implant placement if:

• When the quality of your bone is poor due to periodontal disease or many other factors
• When you suffer from uncontrolled diabetes
• If you are allergic to titanium or other metal alloys within the implant composition

The simple answer is yes we can send you an estimate based on limited information you can provide over the phone but, it is impossible to give you an accurate estimate without seeing you in person to perform a clinical examination, you can send an xray and pictures of your teeth along with a short description of your medical and dental history then we can arrange a phone call to clarify details and options before sending you an estimate.

You can use our contact form to send us all available xrays or intraoral pictures or, email us directly here and we will do our best to give you an accurate estimate. Alternatively you can visit our dental price list section to have an idea about the cost of dental implants or other dental sevices we offer.

It all depends on the type of procedure. It really works on case to case basis.

If you need a s mile makeover with either all on 6 dental implants, dental crowns or dental veneers, typically you will need to finish the preparation and implant placement procedures (usually couple of days) and then come back as indicated by our doctors to complete the treatment with final restorations (for implants 4 yo 6 months) dental crowns 7 to 10 days).

For dental crowns and bridge work:

• First visit: 4 to 6 days where we prep your teeth take the impression place you on temporary teeth. If you wish to wait until your final crowns and bridges are ready you should wait another 5 to 7 days (total time 10 to 13 days)
• If you chose to come back after a moth or so, we will remove the temporary teeth take the impression and give 5 to 7 days to the lab to complete the final zirconia crowns.

For dental implants:

• First appointment: Will last 4 to 7 days where we insert all dental implants necessary. If same day teeth procedure can be applied we will place temporary bridges and you can go home and wait until the integration of implants period is due. (4 to 6 months implant integration time required)
• Second visit: 7 days 4 to 6 month after you have placed the implants you are ready to place your final teeth. We take the final impression and send you back home with the final restoration within a week of processing time

Please be aware of the false advertisements on other travel agency sites. The term Life time warranty confuses many people. It is a limited warranty that is applied by the factory that produces the implant. Meaning that in case an implant has a defect they will replace it free of charge. Be aware that if the implant has failed chances are a new implant could not be placed in the same place any longer.

Sometimes implants fail to integrate with your body and fail, Other times they just fail due to the wrong technique, implant selection or even poor oral hygiene and other conditions like uncontrolled diabetes.  Nevertheless there are many times where placing an implant for the second time will not work. You either get it right the first time or you risk damaging the bone to the point where another implant is not an option anymore.

Toronto Dental offers (5-year warranty for our dental implants). The conditions of the warranty include commitment from the patient to keep the recommended hygiene appointments, meticulous at home oral hygiene and if a night guard is recommended it must be made and worn daily.

Your toothbrush will eventually wear out, especially if you are brushing your teeth twice a day for two to three minutes each time. Your dentist recommends that adults and children change their toothbrush every three months. If you are using an electric toothbrush, be sure to read the directions because you may not need to change toothbrush heads as frequently.

Patients with gum disease are encouraged to change their toothbrush every four to six weeks to keep any bacteria from spreading. After brushing, rinse your toothbrush with hot water to kill germs and keep the bristles clean. If you’ve been sick, be sure to change your toothbrush as soon as possible.

According to your dentist and the American Dental Association, you should brush your teeth at least two times a day. Brushing keeps your teeth, gums, and mouth clean and healthy by removing bacteria-causing plaque. It is also recommended that you use a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste that contains fluoride when you brush your teeth.

You should spend at least a minute on the top teeth and a minute on the bottom teeth, and remember to brush your tongue; it will help keep your breath smelling fresh!

Also known as periodontal disease, gum disease is mostly caused by plaque and bacteria buildup that is not treated in its early stage. Other causes of periodontal disease include tobacco use, teeth grinding, some medications, and genetics.

Gingivitis is the beginning stage of gum disease, and, if detected, is treatable. Gingivitis left untreated may turn into gum disease. Advanced gum disease will lead to tooth and bone loss, and is a permanent condition. Brushing your teeth regularly and visiting the dentist every six months will help prevent gingivitis and more severe cases of periodontal disease.
