A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, giving a crown, bridge, or denture a stable, natural-feeling foundation. At Burlington Village Dental Centre, implant placement and restoration are provided in-house by Dr. Sameh Zaki, a general dentist with more than 19 years of experience in restorative, prosthetic, and implant dentistry.
Tooth loss can affect more than the appearance of your smile — it can change how you chew and speak, and untreated gaps can lead to jawbone shrinkage over time. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, dental implants are designed to restore function, comfort, and confidence for the long term.
Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density and healthy gums may be candidates for dental implants, though a full examination at our Burlington office is the only way to confirm suitability. If bone has been lost following an extraction, Dr. Zaki may recommend bone grafting before implant placement to ensure a strong, lasting result.
Every treatment plan is built around your individual oral health, healing needs, and restorative goals — there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to implant dentistry.
Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
Implant Options: Single Tooth, Bridge & Implant-Supported Dentures
Dental implants aren’t limited to replacing a single tooth. One implant can support a single crown, several implants can anchor a fixed bridge, and implant-supported dentures can dramatically improve the stability of a partial or full denture.
For patients currently wearing removable dentures, implants often improve retention, chewing comfort, and everyday confidence. Dr. Zaki will recommend the right combination of implants and restoration type based on the number of missing teeth and the condition of your bone and gums.
Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants
Dental implants are a secure, long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, they restore your smile, improve chewing ability, and help preserve your jawbone for lasting oral health.
What to Expect: The Dental Implant Process
Consultation & Examination
Your visit begins with a full oral exam and imaging to assess bone density, gum health, and candidacy, followed by a treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Implant Placement
Dr. Zaki places the titanium implant post directly into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth.
Healing & Osseointegration
Over the following months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone — a process called osseointegration — to create a stable, long-term foundation.
Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, your custom crown, bridge, or denture attachment is fitted to the implant, completing your new tooth or teeth. Timelines vary based on case complexity and healing.
Implant cost depends on the number of teeth being replaced, the type of restoration, and whether preparatory treatment such as bone grafting is needed, your exact estimate is provided after a consultation. Burlington Village Dental Centre offers direct billing to insurance and flexible payment plans, so treatment doesn't require paying the full cost upfront.
