Dental Implants in Mississauga
Sauga Smiles Dental places dental implants for Mississauga patients who are missing one or more teeth. An implant replaces both the root and the crown of a tooth, giving back bite force rather than only filling a visible gap. Dr. Rohit Khurana, whose postgraduate training included oral implantology, assesses your jawbone and plans each implant at a consultation. Our clinic is on Burnhamthorpe Road West and open seven days a week.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone that acts as an artificial tooth root. Over a period of months it fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration. A connector called an abutment is then attached, and a custom crown is placed on top. With proper care, implants have a potential lifetime lifespan.
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Patients missing one or more teeth with enough jawbone and healthy gums are generally candidates. If a tooth has been missing for years, bone may have thinned in that area. Dr. Rohit Khurana reviews your bone through X-rays or 3D imaging at your consultation to confirm whether an implant can be placed directly or whether extra steps are needed first.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Replaces the root as well as the visible tooth
- Restores closer to full chewing force than a bridge or removable denture
- Looks and feels like a natural tooth when matched to your smile
- Stimulates the jawbone, which helps preserve its shape
- No need to rely on neighbouring teeth for support, as a bridge does
How the Dental Implant Process Works
- Consultation and imaging. X-rays or 3D imaging assess your jawbone and plan the placement.
- Implant placement. The titanium post is placed in the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over the following months.
- Abutment. Once the implant has integrated, an abutment is attached to hold the future crown.
- Final crown. A custom crown matched to your natural teeth is attached to complete the restoration.
Before Your Visit
- Bring a list of your medications and any medical conditions, and tell us about smoking or gum problems.
- Bring previous dental X-rays if you have them.
- Eat normally before a consultation. Your dentist will tell you if anything is needed before surgery.
- Arrange for someone to drive you if you plan to use sedation or nitrous oxide.
- Ask any questions about timing, costs and financing so you feel comfortable before you start.
After Your Treatment
- Mild swelling and soreness at the implant site are normal for the first few days and are usually managed with basic pain relief.
- Eat soft foods at first and avoid chewing hard foods on the site.
- Keep the area clean as your dentist instructs, and avoid smoking, which can slow healing.
- Full osseointegration takes months, after which the abutment and crown steps follow.
- Keep up regular cleanings and daily brushing and flossing.
- Call the clinic if you have swelling that keeps growing, fever, lasting pain or bleeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Implants have a potential lifetime lifespan with proper care, including regular cleanings and good oral hygiene, though this varies by individual.
Possibly. Jawbone can thin where a tooth has been missing a long time. Imaging at your consultation shows whether an implant can be placed directly or whether additional steps are needed first.
It is the process where the titanium implant fuses directly with your jawbone over months, creating the stable foundation that lets an implant function like a natural root.
Implants replace the root and crown and restore closer to full bite force, while bridges and removable dentures rely on neighbouring teeth or the gum. Which suits you depends on your jawbone, your health and how many teeth are missing.
Coverage depends on your plan and the treatment. We are CDCP-approved and bill most major insurers directly, and the front desk can check what applies to you.
