Clarenville Dental CarePermanent tooth replacement in Clarenville
Dental implants replace missing teeth with a solution that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. If you are missing one or more teeth, an implant consultation is the best place to start comparing your options.
How dental implants work
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth with a small titanium post placed in the jawbone. Once integrated, a crown is attached on top — giving you a stable, natural-looking tooth that does not rely on surrounding teeth for support.
Implants are the only tooth replacement option that preserves jawbone. Without a root in place, bone gradually resorbs — implants prevent that process.

What affects implant eligibility
Most adults with good general health and adequate bone are candidates for implants. Smokers, patients with uncontrolled diabetes, or those with significant bone loss may require additional assessment or preparatory treatment.
The only reliable way to confirm candidacy is with an exam and imaging. If implants are not the right fit, the clinic will discuss what alternatives — like bridges or dentures — might serve you better.
A dental implant is not just a cosmetic choice — it is a structural one.
Missing teeth affect how you chew, how you speak, and how surrounding teeth shift over time. Implants address all of it with a single permanent solution. The earlier a missing tooth is replaced, the easier the treatment tends to be.
