Dental Implants
in Toronto

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, the implant fixture itself can last a lifetime. The crown or prosthesis on top typically lasts 15 to 25 years before it may need replacement due to normal wear. Success rates of over 95% at 10 years are consistently reported in clinical literature.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and patients typically report less discomfort than anticipated. IV sedation is available at Innova Dental for patients who prefer to be sedated during the surgery. Post-operative discomfort is generally manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and subsides within a few days.

A straightforward single implant case — without the need for bone grafting — typically takes three to six months from surgery to final crown placement, allowing for the osseointegration healing period. Cases requiring preparatory bone grafting or sinus lifting add additional time. Complex full-arch cases may take six to twelve months in total. Your specific timeline will be outlined at the initial consultation.

Some plans provide partial coverage for implant components — the crown, the abutment, or occasionally the surgical fee. Many plans categorise implants under major restorative benefits with an annual maximum. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm your coverage before beginning treatment. We can provide a detailed treatment plan to submit for a pre-determination of benefits.

A traditional bridge replaces a missing tooth by crowning the teeth on either side of the gap and suspending a false tooth between them. This requires permanent alteration of healthy adjacent teeth. A dental implant replaces the missing tooth independently — without involving neighbouring teeth — and preserves the underlying jawbone. Implants are generally considered the superior long-term solution where bone volume permits.

In selected cases — particularly full-arch All-on-4 and All-on-X cases — a provisional fixed prosthesis can be placed on the same day as surgery, allowing patients to leave with functioning teeth. This is sometimes referred to as "teeth in a day." The final definitive prosthesis is placed later once osseointegration is complete. Not every patient is a candidate for same-day loading — bone quality and quantity are key determining factors.

Yes. Innova Dental offers IV sedation for implant surgery and all other surgical procedures. Sedation is administered by Dr. Onur Cavus, who holds Ontario certification for moderate IV sedation. Patients who choose sedation are monitored throughout the procedure and require a responsible adult to accompany them home afterward.

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it begins to resorb — losing volume over time. Adjacent teeth may drift into the space, altering the bite and creating areas that are difficult to clean. The loss of bone volume can affect facial appearance over the long term. Replacing missing teeth promptly with implants or another prosthetic option preserves bone and prevents these secondary effects.
