Dental Implants in Newmarket
Restore your smile with lasting confidence
About Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They look natural, feel permanent and are designed to work just like your original teeth.
Losing a tooth affects more than your smile. It can make eating harder, change the way you speak and, over time, lead to bone loss in the jaw. At East River Dental Care in Newmarket, we help patients replace missing teeth with implants that look and feel like the real thing, and we explain every step before we begin.
Key Benefits
- Looks and feels like a natural tooth
- Preserves jawbone and facial structure
- No adhesives or removable parts
- Lifetime durability with proper care
- Improves speech and chewing ability

What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in your jawbone, where it acts as an artificial tooth root. During the healing period, the post fuses with your bone and becomes a strong, stable foundation. A custom-crafted crown is then attached, so the finished tooth looks natural and works like your own.
Because the implant sits in the bone, it also helps preserve your jawbone and the shape of your face after a tooth is lost. The right plan depends on how many teeth are missing and the health of your gums and bone, and your dentist will walk you through it.
Who Dental Implants Can Help
Dental implants may be a good option if you:
- Are missing a single tooth
- Are missing several teeth
- Have a tooth that cannot be saved and needs to be removed through Extractions
- Are tired of dentures that slip or need adhesive
- Want a lasting replacement rather than a temporary fix
Your dentist will confirm whether implants are right for you after a careful assessment of your teeth, gums and bone.

What to Expect
Consultation and Planning
3D imaging and a thorough assessment to create your personalized implant plan.
Implant Placement
A titanium post is carefully placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
Healing Period
Over 3 to 6 months, the implant fuses with your bone in a process called osseointegration.
Crown Placement
A custom-crafted crown is attached, completing your natural-looking smile.
Healing and Aftercare
After your implant is placed, your mouth needs time to heal and the implant needs time to fuse with the bone. This usually takes 3 to 6 months. Our team will tell you what to expect during this period and how to look after the area.
Once your crown is in place, caring for your implant is simple. Brush and floss daily as you would with natural teeth, and keep up with your regular checkups through our Oral Exams & Cleanings. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, although the crown may need replacement after 10 to 15 years.
Dental Implants Compared With Dentures and Bridges
If you are deciding how to replace a missing tooth, here is how the main options differ.
- Dental implants are fixed in place, need no adhesives, help preserve the jawbone and are designed to last the longest. They do require a healing period.
- Dental bridges replace a missing tooth by attaching a replacement tooth to the natural teeth beside the gap. They rely on those neighbouring teeth for support.
- Full and partial dentures are removable options that can replace many teeth or a full arch.
Each option has its place, and the right choice depends on your health, your goals and your budget. To learn more about the alternatives, visit our Full & Partial Dentures and Dental Bridges pages.
Cost of Dental Implants
The cost of dental implants depends on how many teeth you are replacing, the health of your bone and gums, and the type of restoration you need. Because every mouth is different, every plan is different too.
We offer free consultations and second opinions, and we discuss costs with you before any treatment begins so there are no surprises. We bill your insurance directly where your plan applies, and our 0% interest payment plans help spread the cost over time.
