What A Dental Implant Actually Is?

An implant is not a single piece. It’s three parts that work together. A small titanium post takes the place of the missing tooth root and is placed into the jawbone. Over a few months, the bone grows around it and holds it firmly, a process called osseointegration.
Once it’s solid, we attach a connector (the abutment) and then a custom crown on top, colour-matched to your other teeth. The result is a replacement tooth that stands on its own, with no need to file down the healthy teeth on either side, the way a bridge does.

How are Dental Implants Casually Performed?

Dental implants in London are a necessary surgical procedure that has a profound impact on other dental procedures, like the creation of:

  • Crowns
  • Bridges
  • Facial prosthesis

Is A Dental Implant Right For You?

Dental implants in London, Ontario, suit most healthy adults who are missing one tooth, several teeth, or a whole arch. You might be a good candidate if:
  • You're missing one or more teeth and want a fixed solution, not something you take out at night.
  • You have a failing or broken bridge that needs replacing.
  • Your dentures slip, click, or make eating awkward.
  • You're avoiding certain foods because chewing on that side is uncomfortable.
  • You want a long-term option rather than repeating shorter-term fixes.
The honest part: implants need enough healthy jawbone to anchor into, and well-controlled general health helps them heal. If the bone has shrunk where the tooth used to be, a graft can rebuild it first. We check all of this at your consultation with a scan, so you’ll know where you stand before you commit to anything.

Benefits of Having Dental Implants

Here are some benefits of having dental implants that you may not know before:
  • Dental implants are convenient for patients as they can stand alone without needing a bridge or crown.
  • Dental implants are similar to natural teeth as the body accepts titanium, allowing you to eat, chew, and drink normally, just as if you had your natural teeth.
  • You can brush, chew, and bite on implants like natural and regular teeth.
  • Implants can last for decades, making them a durable and long-lasting option. The best part of having implants is that they provide functionality and enhance the appearance of your smile.

What The Implant Process Looks Like At Our London, Ontario Clinic?

We don’t rush this. A good implant is mostly about good planning. Here’s how it usually goes.
We examine the area, take X-rays and a 3D CT scan, and map out exactly where the implant should sit. You’ll get a clear plan and a cost before we start.
We position the titanium post into the jawbone where the tooth is missing. Most people are surprised by how manageable this is (more on comfort below).
The bone fuses to the implant over roughly three months. This is what gives an implant its strength, so it’s worth the wait. You won’t be left with a gap in the meantime if a temporary is appropriate.After getting dental implants, patients may take a while to get used to them. Initially, they may experience slight soreness, pain, or discomfort in the affected areas. However, these are temporary side effects that generally subside independently or with antibiotics.
Once the post is solid, we attach the small connector that the crown will sit on, then give the gum a short time to settle.
We fit your custom crown, matched to the shade and shape of your natural teeth, and check the bite so it feels right when you chew.
Dental implants in London, Ontario, can also anchor more than a single crown. The same post system supports implant-retained bridges and implant-secured dentures, which is how we replace several teeth or stabilise a denture that won’t stay put.

Does Getting A Dental Implant Hurt?

This is the question almost everyone asks, so here’s a straight answer. The area is fully numbed for the placement, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure itself, more of a sensation of pressure. We can talk through sedation options if you’re anxious.
Afterwards, it’s normal to have some soreness or swelling for a few days, the kind of thing most people manage with over-the-counter pain relief. If anything feels off during healing, we want you to contact us, not tough it out.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost In London, Ontario?

Cost is the other big question, and it’s fair to want a number before you book. The dental implant cost in London, Ontario, for a single implant typically ranges from about $4,500 to $5,500, which includes the implant post, abutment, and crown. Replacing several teeth or a full arch (for example, All-on-4 or All-on-X) is a larger treatment and is quoted separately.
Your exact cost depends on a few things: whether you need a bone graft, the type of crown, and how many implants you’re having. We give you the full figure in writing at your consultation, and we offer flexible payment options so the cost can be spread out.

Why Patients Choose Olive Tree Dental For Implants

Implants here are placed by Dr. Issam Loubani, (DDS, Hon. BMSc), who has several years of experience placing dental implants. Because we plan every case with a 3D scan first, the work in the chair is the predictable part.

Frequently Asked Questions

With good day-to-day care and regular checkups, implants can last many years, and for a lot of people, decades. The implant post itself is built to be a long-term fixture. The crown on top can wear over time and may eventually need replacing, much like any restoration. Brushing, flossing, and a checkup every six months go a long way.
Often yes. If the jawbone has thinned, a bone graft can rebuild enough support for an implant. We assess this with a CT scan at your consultation and tell you honestly whether a graft is needed first.
Coverage varies a lot between plans. Some cover part of the implant or the crown, but many don’t cover implants in full. Bring your plan details, and we’ll help you understand what applies and what you’d pay out of pocket.After getting dental implants, patients may take a while to get used to them. Initially, they may experience slight soreness, pain, or discomfort in the affected areas. However, these are temporary side effects that generally subside independently or with antibiotics.
From placement to final crown is usually around three to four months, most of which is healing time while the bone fuses to the implant. The appointments themselves are short. We’ll give you a personal timeline at your consultation.
That’s common, and it’s okay. The area is fully numbed, and we can discuss sedation if you’d feel better with it. We’ll explain each step before we do it so there are no surprises.
