LaSalle Dental Implants
When you’re missing teeth — or have just a single missing tooth — it can negatively affect your appearance, your self-esteem and your general health. It can keep you from smiling in photographs, from feeling comfortable in social situations, and from eating your favourite foods.
We’re proud to offer LaSalle dental implants as a solution that can boost your confidence and improve your overall health.
When you’re missing a tooth, the surrounding teeth will shift position in an attempt to fill the gap, and your jawbone can break down. This may change your appearance and cause you to look older.
If you are missing a tooth — or multiple teeth — LaSalle dental implants can help restore your smile.
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that functions like a tooth root. The implant is integrated into your jawbone for a long-lasting, secure restoration. A crown is then attached to the implant, giving you the look of a natural tooth.
LaSalle dental implants can also be used to secure a denture, preventing it from shifting in your mouth.
If you are missing teeth, contact LaSalle Family Dentistry today to learn more about the ease and comfort of LaSalle dental implants.

FAQs — Click question to reveal answer
- How many appointments are required in order to get a dental implant(s)?
- Typically, it requires one visit to take impressions, so that our lab can begin making your custom crowns. We also brief you about what to expect during the procedure. On the second visit, we secure the implants into your jawbone. It takes time for the implants to fully integrate into the one, so the third visit takes place several months later. During that third visit, we attach your final crowns and reveal your new smile.
- Does my dental insurance cover dental implants?
- It depends on your coverage. We would be happy to help you understand your available coverage, so please ask us at your next appointment.
- Am I a candidate for dental implants?
- Almost anyone missing a tooth (or multiple teeth) is a candidate for dental implants. The deciding factor is if you have enough bone to support an implant. Book a consultation with us to see if you're a candidate.
