What is a Dental Implant?
Chew on Both Sides Again Without Thinking About the Gap
A dental implant is a small titanium post that your dentist places in the jawbone where a tooth root used to be. Over the next few months, the bone grows around the post and holds it firmly. Then a custom crown goes on top, colour-matched to the teeth beside it. One implant can replace one tooth, and a few implants can hold a bridge or a full denture in place.
Because the post sits in the bone, it doesn't lean on the teeth next to it the way a bridge does, and it doesn't slip the way a loose denture can. It also gives your jawbone something to work against, which helps slow the bone loss that follows a missing tooth.
Not everyone is ready for an implant on day one. Gum disease or thin bone may need treatment first, and your dentist at our Milton locations will tell you honestly if a bridge or denture is the better fit for you.
Who this is for
Anyone with a missing tooth, a tooth that can't be saved, or a denture that won't stay put, who wants a fixed replacement that feels like their own teeth.
You might be a good fit for an implant if...
You're missing one or more teeth
A tooth needs to come out
Your denture slips or rubs

What Patients Ask Us First
Honest Answers Before You Book
The questions that stop most people from calling, answered straight.
Will it hurt?
Not during placement. The area is fully numbed, so most people feel pressure rather than pain. Afterward, expect some soreness and swelling for a few days, which over-the-counter pain relief handles for most patients. Here's more on what implant pain actually feels like.
What will this cost, and does insurance or CDCP cover it?
Cost depends on how many teeth you're replacing, whether you need an extraction or bone graft first, and what goes on top, so we quote after your exam.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan doesn't cover implants, but it can help with other parts of your care. We'll check your coverage and walk you through every cost before you agree to anything.
How long does the whole process take?
Usually several months from start to finish, and most of that is healing time, not chair time. If you need a bone graft first, add a few more months. Your dentist will give you a timeline at your exam.
Do I need to already be a patient here?
No. New patients are welcome at all three Milton locations. Book or call, and we'll start with an exam.

Cost and coverage
What Dental Implants Cost in Milton
How cost works at our Milton locations, and what insurance and CDCP will and won't pay for.
What does it cost?
Does insurance cover this?
Many private dental plans pay for part of an implant, while others leave it out. We'll check your plan before treatment so you know your share up front.
Check Your Coverage →Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)
Does CDCP Cover Dental Implants? The Honest Answer.
No. The CDCP Dental Benefits Guide lists implants and all implant-related work, including bone grafts, as exclusions that can't be approved on appeal. We'd rather you hear that now than at the front desk.
The Dental Team is a registered CDCP provider, and the plan can still help with parts of replacing a missing tooth.

Frequently asked questions
Questions About Dental Implants
Don't see your question? Call us and we'll answer it before you book.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with healthy gums and enough jawbone are good candidates. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and active gum disease can slow healing, so your dentist may treat those first. Your exam and X-rays will show where you stand, and our guide to who makes a good implant candidate covers the details.
What if I don't have enough bone for an implant?
A dental bone graft can rebuild the area before the implant goes in. It adds a few months of healing to your timeline, and your dentist will tell you at your exam if you need one.
Does CDCP cover dental implants?
No. The Canadian Dental Care Plan excludes implants and all implant-related procedures, including bone grafts. It can still cover eligible exams, X-rays, extractions, and standard dentures, with your share based on household income.
How long do dental implants last?
With daily brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, implants can last for many years. The crown on top may need replacing at some point due to normal wear.
Is an implant better than a bridge or a denture?
It depends on your mouth and budget. An implant stands on its own, a bridge is anchored to the teeth on either side of the gap, and a denture comes out for cleaning and usually costs less up front. Your dentist will walk you through all three.
Do you offer evening or Saturday appointments for dental implants?
Yes. Bronte Hill and Hillsview are open Monday to Thursday 9am to 8pm, and Friday and Saturday 9am to 2pm. Forest Valley is open Monday and Tuesday 9am to 8pm, Wednesday and Thursday 9am to 5pm, and Saturday 9am to 2pm, and is closed Fridays.
