Dental Implants
Missing teeth can make everyday tasks such as chewing and speaking difficult and even embarrassing.
Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard in tooth replacement. They are durable, biocompatible, and financeable.
Learn why Dr. Roni Berbari uses dental implants as his preferred method of tooth replacement when you visit our Montreal, QC, practice.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Your implant is part of a team effort to restore your smile. It works in conjunction with two other components for lasting results. During your treatment, we will use:
Dental Implants
Titanium implants are screws that act as artificial tooth roots to create a natural look, feel, and function.
Abutments
To attach your implant to your restoration, we'll place a discreet connector known as an abutment.
Restorations
To complete your smile, we will secure a custom restoration, like a crown or bridge.

Dr. Berbari Explains The Basics of Dental Implants
Dental implants replace lost tooth roots and support replacement teeth. At Montreal Smiles, we do an intraoral examination and 3D scan to determine if you are a suitable candidate. Pain or discomfort from the surgery shouldn't last for longer than a week.
If You Are Missing Teeth, You're Not Alone
According to the Canadian Dental Association, approximately 6 in 100 Canadian adults have no remaining teeth. Implants can help you regain a healthy, functional smile that with good care will last for years to come.

Factors We Look for in Dental Implant Candidates
Advancing techniques and technologies in the field of dentistry have helped more patients than ever access dental implant treatment at Montreal Smiles. Still, there are certain requirements that patients must meet to be considered candidates for dental implants. These include:
Not a candidate yet? We can help.
We Perform Supplementary Care In-House
Many of our Montreal patients need additional treatment to achieve implant candidacy. By conducting these treatments in house, we make it easier for you to achieve dental implant candidacy.
Extraction
Not all of our implant patients come to us with missing teeth. Many have broken, infected, or otherwise severely damaged teeth. If those teeth cannot be saved, Dr. Berbari can perform extractions. He can also perform a socket preservation graft to prepare the area for dental implants.
Bone Augmentation
If your 3D images show that bone loss has occurred — and it often does in patients who have lost teeth — we can perform an in-office bone graft or sinus lift. We have two types of grafts available at our Montreal practice. Autografts utilize bone from another part of your body while allografts use doner tissue.

Advanced Technology for Optimal Results
Some of the technology we use to plan and perform your treatment includes:
One reason why patients may delay treatment is that they worry it will be invasive from start to finish. However, that's not the case. We work to make treatment easier by using small intraoral cameras to capture pictures of your teeth and gums.
With our conebeam scanner, we can get 3D imaging of your exact smile. These precise scans will show our Montreal team what your oral structures, like your jaw and teeth look like, for more accurate planning.
Using custom surgical guides, Dr. Berbari combines his rigorous training with the targeted precision of state-of-the-art technology. These guides can result in more predictable aesthetics and even potentially increased longevity.
Undergo the Implant Procedure in Comfort
We address anxiety head-on with our dedication to honest, comforting care.
Still worried? In addition to offering convenient and safe computerized anesthesia, our dentist can administer intravenous conscious sedation at our Montreal office to make the procedure virtually pain-free — no outside anesthesiologist needed.
It may also help to know that dental implant treatment is often less stressful than may you think. In fact, many of our patients do not need any kind of sedation, especially once they realize just how dedicated we are to helping them feel at ease throughout treatment.

How long is it going to take to achieve a complete smile?
Your Treatment Timeline Can Span Several Months
Once you begin treatment, you won't have an incomplete smile for too much longer. On a different day following your implant surgery, we can give you a temporary restoration.

How Long Do Implants Last?
/
Most patients will only have to undergo implant treatment once in their lifetime. The risk of complications is fairly low too. Various studies show dental implants have a 95% or higher success rate. To give yourself the best chance for lasting results, make sure to follow all instructions from our dentist.
Caring for Your New Smile
Once you receive your final restoration, it is important to exercise good dental care, like:
Brush your teeth, restorations, and gums thoroughly at least twice a day. In addition, it is important to floss daily to remove built-up plaque between the teeth and along the gum line.
If recommended by our dentist, special tools such as interproximal brushes, a water flosser, angled brushes, and more offer additional cleaning benefits by accessing more difficult-to-reach areas.
Patients should attend dental exams and cleanings at least once every six months. During these exams, we can professionally clean your teeth. We'll also assess your oral health and the integrity of your restoration so we can administer timely treatment.
Regular tobacco use such as smoking or chewing tobacco dip can make a difference between successful and unsuccessful dental implant treatment. You'll need to stop using tobacco before your surgery and as you heal, but the best path is to quit altogether.
