A dental implant acts like an artificial tooth root. It is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. They are an innovative solution for patients who have lost their tooth/teeth due to trauma, breakage, decay, periodontal disease or injury.
Compared to dentures, dental implants are a popular and effective long-term solution for patients who suffer from missing/failing teeth or chronic dental problems. Once placed in the mouth and restored with a dental crown, they are permanent and do not need to be removed daily like dentures or partial dentures.
Dental implants typically have three different parts:

Many factors play into the success of dental implants. During a consultation, your dentist will look for a few components including:
At Dr. Korol Dental, we use 3D planning software that increases the safety and accuracy of the implant placement.
The technology helps decrease the risk of surgical complications and increase the probability of implant success.
Caring for your dental implants is just like looking after your natural teeth. Make sure to brush, floss and maintain regular checkups with your dentist.
While replacement teeth cannot get cavities, they are vulnerable to the same wear-and-tear as your natural teeth. With proper home care and regular professional maintenance, you can keep your replacement teeth for a lifetime.

From my initial booking, to the exam and dental work, to the cleaning I received, my overall experience was superb. Sarah (at reception) communicates clearly, is thoughtful, and is an overall pleasure. Dr. Korol and her dental team are proficient, professional, and very skilled at what they do. Additionally, their approach to dental care is natural and holistic, which is important and can be difficult to find. Thanks for everything!

I have been to several dentists in three different provinces over the years. Dr. Korol is my favourite one of all. She has a happy and infectious personality and a big smile that lights up a room. Her staff are all also upbeat and very efficient. Sarah on the front desk is always trying to help and has lots of experience in making dental claims. I have had personal concerns about mercury fillings and it is a great relief to find a dentist who had solutions and specific training in natural or biological dentistry. I feel very fortunate to have come into contact with Dr. Korol and her practice.

My family has been going to Dr. Korol's office for over 2 years now. I came from a bad experience with another dentist so I was very leary; The staff at this office is amazing, from the time we enter the front doors nothing but kindness. Dr. Korol is fantastic, gentle & listens to any concerns I might have, she goes over everything step by step so there are no surprises. I went from fear of the dentist to being relaxed when I'm there. Thank you to Dr. Korol and her amazing support team for taking such great care of my family!!!
