Dental Implants in Stratford
At Dental Club Stratford, we specialize in dental implants in Stratford that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Dental implants provide a long-lasting way to replace one or more missing teeth, helping you feel more comfortable with your appearance and bite.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants replace the entire tooth structure – from root to crown – making them stronger and more secure than removable dentures or bridges. Once placed, they integrate with your jawbone and become part of your mouth’s foundation.
What Makes Dental Implants Different?
Stability: No slipping or clicking
Durability: Can last decades with proper care
Bone Support: Helps prevent bone loss in the jaw
Aesthetics: Designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth
The Dental Implant Procedure
Implant Consultation
We begin with digital scans and X-rays to assess jawbone health and plan the most precise placement.
Titanium Rod Placement
A minor surgical procedure is performed under local anesthesia. A small titanium rod is inserted where the missing tooth once was.
Healing and Bonding
The implant fuses with your bone in a process called osseointegration. Think of it like Velcro bonding to fabric - firm, but natural. This usually takes 3–6 months.
Abutment and Crown
Once healed, we attach a connector piece (called an abutment), followed by a custom dental crown that matches your surrounding teeth in shape and shade.
Common Concerns We Address
Worried about pain, cost, or recovery? You’re not alone. Our team walks you through:
- Payment plans that fit your budget
- Step-by-step prep so you know what to expect
- Clear answers about healing progress, function, and longevity
Do Dental Implants Hurt?
Most patients say it’s easier than expected. We numb the area so well, you might stream Netflix during surgery. Mild soreness afterward can be managed with over-the-counter medication.
Replace One Tooth or Many
Options include:
Single tooth implant for isolated loss
Multi-unit bridges supported by implants
Full arch replacement for total restoration
Do I Need Bone Grafting?
If bone loss has occurred (often due to gum disease or long-term tooth loss), bone grafting or sinus lifts may be needed before implant placement. These additional procedures support proper healing and long-term success.

FAQ
Are dental implants painful?
No. Most people say the procedure involves minimal discomfort, similar to a filling. We use local anesthesia to keep you completely comfortable.
How long does the dental implant process take?
Typically 3–6 months from placement to crown. Healing time depends on your bone health and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are needed.
How much do dental implants cost?
Costs vary depending on how many teeth you’re replacing. We’ll provide a full treatment plan and offer payment options that work for you.
Will my implant look like a real tooth?
Yes. Each dental crown is custom-made to match your natural teeth in color and shape. Most people can’t tell the difference.
Can dental implants replace multiple teeth?
Absolutely. We offer options to replace one, several, or all of your missing teeth using implants and replacement teeth designed for full arches.
Is bone grafting always necessary?
Not always. If you’ve experienced bone loss, we may recommend it to ensure the implant has a solid foundation, but many patients don’t need it.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and regular brushing, implants can last 20+ years – sometimes a lifetime.
