Quality Dental Implants in Sudbury and Sturgeon Falls
Are you tired of struggling with traditional dentures? Thanks to many advances in dental implant technology over the last 40 years, dental implants have become the preferred alternative to the frustrated denture wearer or those not happy transitioning from natural teeth to dentures.
At Allan Delsaut Denture Clinics, we provide dental implants for Sudbury residents while ensuring profound patient satisfaction. We aim to offer dental implants that look like natural teeth. To a denture-wearer, implants provide excellent stability while helping preserve that precious bone under the gums and keeping the natural look of your face and lips. They are as close as we'll ever get to real teeth in dentistry, and patients often tell us they wish they had received them sooner. So, if you plan to get implants, don’t wait any longer! Contact us today to book a consultation!
Why Choose Dental Implants?
A regular denture rests on the gums and is not supported by implants, causing them to move around, lisp, or hurt when biting hard foods. A dental implant alleviates most of these painful situations because the denture is secure and doesn't move freely.
Dental Implants are used when a person doesn't have any teeth in the jaw but still has enough bone to support implants. Special attachments are adhered to the implant, allowing the denture to be snapped into place.
We also offer various other denture solutions at our clinic, using professional services from our team. Visit us to know more!
Types of Dental Implants
There are two types of dental implants available at our clinics in Sudbury: bar-retained and ball-retained. In both cases, we make the dentures with an acrylic base that will look like gums and will have natural-looking acrylic teeth attached to it. Both types of dentures need at least two implants for support, with most patients choosing four or more for superior stability and function.
Bar-Retained Dentures
A thin metal bar that follows the curve of your jaw is attached to two to five implants placed in your jawbone. Clips or other attachments are fitted to the bar, the denture or both. The denture fits over the bar and is securely clipped into place by the attachments.
Ball-Retained Dentures
Each implant in the jawbone holds a metal attachment that fits into another attachment on the denture. In most cases, the attachments on the implants are ball-shaped (male attachments), and they fit into sockets (female attachments) on the denture. In some cases, the denture holds the male attachments, and the implants hold the female ones.
Choosing an Implant Denturist
Before any work is done, you should visit a denturist with advanced training in dental implant placement and restoration.

How to Take Care of Your Implants after Getting Them?
After getting your dental implants, taking proper care of them to ensure their longevity and maintain your oral health is vital. Some guidelines for taking care of your dental implants include:
-
Follow the denturist's instructions: Your denturist will instruct you regarding the proper oral care steps for your dental implants based on your situation. It's essential to follow their guidance closely.
-
Maintain good oral hygiene: Ensure you brush your teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush at least twice daily. Use a non-abrasive toothpaste and brush gently around the implant area. Floss daily, using floss or interdental brushes designed explicitly for implants to remove plaque and debris around the implants efficiently and prevent gum disease.
-
Use an antibacterial mouthwash: Rinse your mouth with an antibacterial mouthwash recommended by your dentist. Doing this will help reduce bacteria and prevent infection around the implant site.
-
Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption: Alcohol consumption and smoking can increase the probability of implant failure and negatively affect the healing process. It's best to avoid these habits or reduce them significantly.
-
Be mindful of your diet: Follow a balanced diet of various nutrients to support your oral health and overall well-being. Avoid biting hard foods or using your implants to open packages or bottles, as this can cause damage.
-
Attend regular dental check-ups: Visit your dentist and your denturist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings. Your dentist will monitor the state of your implants, assess the health of your gums, and make any necessary adjustments or recommendations.
-
Protect your implants: If you participate in contact sports or activities that may pose a risk of injury to your mouth, consider using a mouthguard to protect your implants.
-
Be aware of potential complications: Watch for any signs of redness, swelling, pain, or discomfort around the implant area. If you experience any issues or concerns, contact your dentist promptly.
Remember, every implant case is unique, so it's crucial to consult your denturist for personalized advice on caring for your specific implants. Our team ensures you stay informed at each stage of getting dental implants from Allan Delsaut Denture Clinics.
Benefits of Dental Implants
The benefits of opting for dental implants in Sudbury are the following:
-
Preserve the jawbone:
One of the most compelling reasons to opt for dental implants is their remarkable ability to preserve the integrity of your jawbone. Unlike conventional dentures, which may lead to bone loss over time, dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone and preventing deterioration.
-
Indulge in your favourite foods:
Unlike removable dentures, which may limit your food choices due to stability concerns, dental implants provide a sturdy foundation that allows you to enjoy all your favourite foods without worry. Whether biting a crisp apple or savouring a juicy steak, we ensure your dental implants support your food choices.
-
Enhance your appearance:
Dental implants not only fill in gaps left by missing teeth but also help preserve the natural shape of your face by preventing sagging and preserving facial contours. We craft dental implants in Sudbury that seamlessly blend with your existing teeth, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing result that enhances your appearance and boosts your self-esteem.
-
Regain clear speech:
Dental implants play a pivotal role in ensuring clear and articulate speech. Unlike ill-fitting dentures that may slip or click while speaking, dental implants provide stability and confidence, allowing you to enunciate words with clarity and precision.
-
No messy denture creams:
With our dental implants in Sudbury, you can benefit from the comfort of a fixed, permanent solution that eliminates the need for unmanageable maintenance regimes. Just brush and floss as you would with natural teeth and revel in the simplicity and cleanliness that dental implants afford.
