A dental implant is a fixed solution that replaces the root of a missing tooth and supports a crown, bridge or denture. For many patients, an implant can improve chewing, stability, comfort and confidence. However, implants are not suitable for every situation and require careful assessment.
Our downtown Montreal dental clinic welcomes patients near Complexe Desjardins, Complexe Guy-Favreau, Place des Arts, the Quartier des spectacles and federal office buildings who want to discuss replacement options for missing teeth.
When should you consider an implant?
A consultation may be helpful if you have lost a tooth, if a tooth needs to be extracted, if a denture is unstable, if you want to avoid preparing neighbouring teeth for a bridge, or if you want to compare fixed and removable options.
The dentist will evaluate your gums, bone, available space, bite, neighbouring teeth, habits, general health, medications and ability to maintain good hygiene.
Possible steps
The process may include an exam, X-rays, sometimes 3D imaging, discussion of alternatives, surgical planning, implant placement, healing time and final restoration. In some cases, bone grafting or an additional procedure may be needed.
Implant, bridge or denture?
An implant is not the only solution. A bridge, partial denture or complete denture may be recommended depending on the clinical situation, budget, number of missing teeth and patient goals. The right option is the one that fits the diagnosis, prognosis and patient reality.
CDCP and dental implants
Important: under the current CDCP rules, dental implants, bone grafts and implant-related procedures are not covered. CDCP-eligible patients may still have coverage for certain other services depending on plan rules, such as diagnostic care, some preventive services, some extractions or eligible removable prosthodontics.
