Dental Implants

Replace missing teeth with dental implants

Downtown Whitby Dentistry is experienced in replacing your missing teeth. Losing a tooth can cause some stress but we would like to alleviate your worries.

We’ll help replace your tooth with titanium metal artificial root. It replaces the root of your natural tooth. The implant anchors and is attached to your new artificial tooth.

Dr. Jamshid Nematollahi is an experienced and trusted Whitby Dentist in replacing teeth. With distinction, he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from University of Western Ontario. With a kind approach and a gentle touch you know you are in good hands.

Dental Implant

Are you in good health, have healthy gums and enough jawbone to hold the implant? If you don’t have enough bone, you could be a bone graft candidate. Together we’ll determine if a dental implant is the right choice for you.

We will carefully examine your mouth and x-rays of your head, jaw and teeth to ensure dental implants are the good decision for you. If it is, there will be two stages of surgery, your Whitby dentist will insert the implant beneath your gum tissue in your jawbone. As the tissue heals the implant will bond with the bone and gum. It can take several months to heal. Once healed Dr. Nematollahi can add an abutment, the piece that connects the tooth to the implant. Sometimes the implant and abutment are put in at the same time. Lastly an artificial replacement tooth is created and then attached to the abutment. It can take several appointments to properly fit the replacement tooth to the abutment.

When replacing more than one tooth it is considered a bridge. The implants and abutment are placed at each side of the bridge.

Although rare, dental implants act a lot like natural teeth. Therefore, we need to clean and floss them the same way you clean all of your teeth. We will show you how to clean your implants. Regular checkups at Downtown Whitby Dental ensure your implants do not become loose and that your bite is right!

Dental Implant Costs

Dental implants cost more than other types of tooth replacements and are not always covered by your dental plan. There is a one-time fee, unlike other procedures.

Possible Complications Dental Implants

There are possible complications including bleeding, infection, numbness and injury to nearby muscles or sinus cavity. Sometimes the implant may not be successful because it didn’t bond to the bone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once healed, they support a crown, bridge, or denture to restore the function and appearance of missing teeth.

You may be a candidate for dental implants if you:

  • Have one or more missing teeth
  • Have healthy gums
  • Have enough bone to support the implant (or are willing to consider bone grafting)
  • Are in good overall health

A consultation with our team will determine if implants are right for you.

  • Natural look and feel
  • Permanent and long-lasting
  • Preserve jawbone and prevent bone loss
  • No impact on surrounding teeth (unlike bridges)
  • Improved speech, chewing, and confidence

The entire process can take several months, depending on healing time and whether bone grafting is needed. The basic stages include:

  • Implant placement
  • Healing and bone integration (3–6 months)
  • Abutment and crown placement

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so most patients feel minimal discomfort. After the surgery, some soreness and swelling are normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

With proper care, dental implants can last 15 years or more—many last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups are essential.

Dental implants have a success rate of over 95%, especially when placed by experienced professionals and maintained properly.

Costs vary depending on the number of implants, the type of restoration, and whether additional procedures (like bone grafting) are needed. We offer treatment estimates and financing options during your consultation.

Some dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for implants or related procedures. Our team will help you understand your benefits and provide a breakdown of costs.

Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth:

  • Brush and floss daily
  • Avoid smoking
  • Visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and exams

We offer implant-supported dentures or All-on-4® solutions for full-mouth restoration. These provide better stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures.

  • Experienced dental implant providers
  • State-of-the-art technology and digital imaging
  • Personalized treatment planning
  • Compassionate care from start to finish
  • Flexible financing and insurance support
