Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement because they:
- Look and feel like natural teeth
- Are permanent – no slipping or adhesives required
- Preserve jawbone health and prevent bone loss
- Improve chewing and speech abilities
- Boost self-confidence with a full smile
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants integrate with your jawbone for superior stability and longevity.
Our Dental Implant Process
At Gentle Touch Dental Care, we provide a comfortable and seamless implant experience.
1. Consultation & Planning
We assess your oral health using advanced digital imaging to determine if you’re a candidate for dental implants.
2. Implant Placement
A biocompatible titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Dr. Helen Chan’s expertise ensures precise placement for optimal healing and function.
3. Healing & Osseointegration
Over a few months, the implant fuses with your jawbone, creating a strong and durable foundation.
4. Crown Attachment
Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached, restoring your beautiful, functional smile.
