Losing a tooth can affect more than just your ability to chew. It can alter how you speak, change the shape of your face, and slowly wear down your confidence. At Keelesdale Dental, we offer dental implant surgery in Toronto to help patients regain their comfort, restore full function, and feel confident smiling again.

Whether you’ve lost a single tooth or need multiple replacements, dental implants are a proven, long-term solution that look and function like natural teeth. With a personalized approach, modern tools, and a supportive environment, our team guides you through each step—from planning to placement—with care and precision.

Why Dental Implants Are the Gold Standard

Dental implants replace not just the visible portion of the tooth but also the root, offering a stable foundation that mimics natural tooth structure. Unlike bridges, which rely on neighbouring teeth, or dentures, which rest on the gums, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone using a small titanium post.

This helps:

• Prevent bone loss

• Preserve facial structure

• Maintain alignment of surrounding teeth

• Restore natural chewing and speech

• Eliminate discomfort and movement

Once in place, the implant integrates with the jawbone, providing support for a custom-made crown that blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.

How Our Dental Implant Process Works at Keelesdale Dental

At our Toronto clinic, we handle every step of the implant process in-house. This creates a smoother, more efficient experience for patients and ensures continuity of care from consultation to final restoration.

1. Consultation and Digital Planning

The first step is a comprehensive evaluation. We begin with digital X-rays and may take a 3D cone beam CT scan to check:

• Bone density and structure

• Placement of nerves and sinuses

• Health of your gums

• Overall oral health

With this data, we can determine if you’re a good candidate for implants and design a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. If there is insufficient bone in the area, we’ll discuss options like bone grafting or a sinus lift to prepare the site.

2. Surgical Placement of the Implant

Once you’re ready for surgery, the titanium implant post is placed directly into the jawbone under local anesthesia. For patients who feel nervous, we also offer sedation options to ensure a relaxed experience.

Our team uses minimally invasive techniques and modern equipment to reduce discomfort, minimize healing time, and improve long-term outcomes. The post is precisely positioned to support a future crown, bridge, or full arch, depending on your needs.

3. Healing and Osseointegration

Over the next three to six months, your implant will fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This bond creates a strong and lasting foundation for your new tooth.

During this healing period, we may provide a temporary restoration to maintain function and appearance while your body completes the integration.

4. Abutment and Final Crown Placement

Once the implant has fully healed, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the post. We’ll then take impressions to custom-design your final crown. Using durable, natural-looking materials, we match the crown to your surrounding teeth in both colour and shape.

When it’s ready, we secure the crown to the abutment. The result is a strong, stable tooth that looks and feels like it’s always been there.

Who Can Get Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults missing one or more teeth are candidates for dental implants. You may be a good fit if you:

• Are in good general and oral health

• Have healthy gums and no untreated periodontal disease

• Have enough bone in your jaw to support the implant (or are open to bone grafting if needed)

• Do not smoke or are willing to quit during the healing process

Age is not a barrier. Many older adults in Toronto choose implants as a permanent alternative to dentures. At Keelesdale Dental, we carefully assess each case and explain every option clearly, so you can make an informed choice that aligns with your goals.

Benefits of Choosing Keelesdale Dental for Implant Surgery

We know that implant surgery can feel like a big decision. That’s why we provide detailed consultations, take time to answer questions, and never rush you into a treatment plan. Here’s how our approach stands out:

Advanced Digital Planning

We use 3D scans, high-resolution imaging, and digital workflows to plan implant placement with precision. This ensures your implant is placed in the optimal position for both function and aesthetics while reducing surgical time and risk.

A Focus on Patient Comfort

From local freezing to sedation dentistry, our team offers several ways to make your appointment more comfortable. We tailor the approach to your needs, so you always feel supported and informed.

In-House Continuity of Care

Dr. Matthew Laski brings advanced expertise in implant and restorative dentistry. Working alongside Dr. Gayle Wagman and Dr. Michelle Chrystal, our team delivers coordinated care that’s focused on long-term results.

What Makes Implants Better Than Bridges or Dentures?

Dental implants offer unmatched benefits when it comes to preserving your natural bone and maintaining the integrity of your smile.

How to Care for Dental Implants

Once your implant is placed and restored, it’s easy to maintain. Brush and floss daily, just like you would with natural teeth. Attend regular dental checkups and cleanings to ensure your implant remains healthy.

At Keelesdale Dental, we’ll provide detailed home-care instructions and follow-up as needed to help you keep your implant in excellent condition.
