Prosthodontics North York

Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on the design, manufacture, and fitting of artificial replacements for teeth and other parts of the mouth. While general dentistry handles routine maintenance, prosthodontics is dedicated to complex restoration and tooth replacement.

The goal is not just to fill a gap, but to restore the integrity of your bite and the structure of your jawbone. By replacing missing teeth, we prevent remaining teeth from shifting and protect your facial structure from sagging.

• Patients with one or more missing teeth.

• Those with loose, uncomfortable, or ill-fitting dentures.

• Individuals seeking a permanent solution to tooth loss.

• Patients requiring full mouth rehabilitation.

Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement. Unlike other options that rest on the gums, an implant replaces the actual root of the tooth, providing unmatched stability.

An implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, it fuses with the bone (osseointegration), creating a solid foundation for a custom crown.

• Single Tooth Replacement: Looks and functions exactly like a natural tooth.

• Implant-Supported Bridges: Replaces multiple teeth without damaging adjacent healthy teeth.

• Longevity: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.

For patients missing multiple teeth or an entire arch, dentures remain a reliable and affordable solution. Modern dentures are far more comfortable and natural-looking than those from decades past.

If you still have healthy natural teeth remaining, a partial denture is an excellent option. It fills the spaces created by missing teeth and prevents your natural teeth from shifting.

• Design: A removable appliance that clasps onto existing teeth for support.

Full dentures are used when all natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing.

• Custom Fit: We take precise impressions to ensure your dentures fit comfortably against your gums.

• Implant-Retained Dentures: For extra stability, we can combine dentures with implants (often called “snap-on dentures”) so they never slip while eating or speaking.
