Beautiful Smiles Begin Here!

Our smiles are the first thing that people see and remember about us. We pride ourselves in a personal comprehensive approach, which is our philosophy. A patient is never rushed out the door as we don’t believe in high volume dentistry. If needed, our office has a number of specialists for more advanced procedures.

You deserve the very best dental care – but the dental industry just doesn’t work for you. We’re the people’s dentist. We’re revolutionizing dental care to put you at the very center – and to bring affordable, accessible care to more people than ever before.

Surgery you can trust, care you deserve.

WHAT WE DO

DENTAL IMPLANTS

A dental implant is a tiny metal screw (essentially an artificial tooth root) made of titanium. This surgical fixture is inserted into your jawbone, and a replacement tooth is attached to it. The implant acts as a sort of anchor to hold the new tooth in place.

The dental implant process is a quick and effective solution for patients who are looking to replace their missing or damaged teeth and restore their smiles and self-confidence.

DENTURES

Dentures are removable oral appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. If you are missing several teeth or all of your teeth, dentures might be just what you need to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile. There are two kinds of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures.

DENTAL CLEANINGS

Regular dental cleanings are an essential part of good oral hygiene. Besides keeping your teeth and gums healthy, regular dental cleaning allows your dentist to get a look at what’s going on with your teeth so that issues like cavities or gingivitis can be treated early.

TOOTH WHITENING

Tooth whitening is the process of lightening the color of human teeth. Whitening is often desirable when teeth become yellowed over time for a number of reasons, and can be achieved by changing the intrinsic or extrinsic color of the tooth enamel.

Setting the Standard in Dental Technology

At Template Dental Centre, we offer our patients a comfortable, quality experience. Part of that experience is our use of some of the latest technology. The Nobel Biocare OsseoCare™ Pro drill’s pre-programmed free-hand and guided drilling protocols provide increased safety with this innovative piece of oral surgery technology.

Considering Dental Implants?

At Template Dental Centre our doctors do everything they can to give you a beautiful smile and help you keep your natural teeth. However, life can be unpredictable, and at some point, you may find yourself with a damaged or lost tooth. If that happens, you may need dental implants.

For many years, the only options for treating missing teeth were dentures or bridges. But thanks to advances in dental technology, dental implants are now a viable option.

Dental implants are a long-lasting and safe way to replace your damaged or missing teeth. Let’s see if they are the right choice for you.

Who Might Need Dental Implants?

Dental implant procedures are just one of the many services we offer our patients.

If you have a damaged or lost tooth, you have options available to you. You may need to replace just one tooth, or perhaps you need to replace several. If you need dentures, however, that is a different procedure. Either way, your dentist will help you determine the best course of action.

If you find yourself in a situation that resulted in damaged or missing teeth, you may need dental implants. In order to be a good candidate for a dental implant procedure, you must have healthy gums and a strong jawbone so that the implants can be installed properly.

Contact our office today and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to see if you are a candidate for implants. We can set up a consultation at which point your dentist will examine your teeth and your overall oral health to determine if this procedure is right for you.

What Are Dental Implants, Exactly?

The dental implant process is a quick and effective solution for patients who are looking to replace their missing or damaged teeth and restore their smile and self-confidence.

What Can I Expect at My Appointment?

Your dentist will do a thorough examination of your mouth and take x-rays of your head, jaw and teeth to be sure that you are a candidate for the procedure.
Once you are qualified to receive dental implants, your dentist will place the dental implant into your jawbone beneath your gum tissue. As the gum tissue heals (which can sometimes take a few months), the implant will bond with the bone and attach to the gum.
Once the gum tissue has healed, your dentist will attach an abutment to the implant. (Abutment is the name given to the post that connects the replacement tooth to the implant.)
The artificial replacement tooth is then attached to the abutment.
If you are replacing several or all of your teeth, a fixed bridge will be anchored to your dental implants.

Dental implants at our clinic typically take two visits to install: one to fit the screw, and one to install the false tooth. Please note that all bone structures and all patients are different. Your procedure may take longer or involve more steps (such as bone augmentation) than the steps above.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Damaged or missing teeth can impact our lives immensely. Dental implants help by restoring your everyday functions such as chewing, eating, and speaking confidently. They can also prevent adjacent teeth from drifting into improper positions.

Here are some additional benefits of dental implants:

Durability
Low maintenance
Look and feel like natural teeth
Boost and restore your confidence
