Our Dental Implant Process
Our goal is to make the entire implant process as easy and simple for our patients as possible. From your first consultation all the way to your completed restoration, we are here to walk you through every step.
We truly care about our patients which is why we designed our process to revolve around your needs.
Your Initial Consultation
The first step on your journey towards a new stunning smile starts with a no-obligation consultation. You will meet with either Dr. Keith MacDonald or Dr. Daniel MacDonald to discuss your restorative goals and procedures. We’re delighted to answer any and all of your questions.
By the end of your consultation, you will have an understanding of your treatment options and will have your questions and concerns answered so that you can make an educated decision on the best course of action to restore your smile.
Your Treatment Plan: Accurate and Precise
The reason our dental implants are so successful is due to a combination of experience, skill, and technology. That’s the approach we take at our office and the magnificent results our patients achieve reflects the quality of our process. To make your restoration a success, we combine precise treatments with sophisticated techniques to make sure you are getting nothing less than the best. Using the GALILEOS 3D Cone Scanner, we take 3D images to make a digital model of your mouth with incredible detail. It’s thanks to this technology that your treatment will come with:
- Increased comfort
- Extreme convenience
- Greater precision
- Unmatched quality
We use this digital model to build a treatment plan that is designed specifically for you. We strive for excellence during every step of the process and are confident that our solutions will restore your smile.
Completing Your Restoration
After your implants have healed, your permanent crown will be placed to complete the restoration. At our Archdale office, we craft your prosthetic teeth using cutting-edge technology designed to match your natural teeth in shape and color. We accomplish this using CEREC technology which allows us to reach a level of precision that was never possible before.
Depending on the state of your mouth and the treatment needed to restore your smile, you may even qualify for same day implants. Also known as immediate load implants, this procedure consists of placing a temporary replacement on the new implant while it heals. Regardless of the solution you decide on, we are here to make your goal for a healthier, happier smile a success.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is osseointegration?
Osseointegration is a fundamental step in the dental implant process. This is when an artificial implant is permanently and surgically anchored into the jaw bone. It then integrates into the bone and grows into the implant for a stable, reliable foundation for your new restoration. Without osseointegration, the dental implant would not heal successfully for lasting results.
How long do dental implants last?
With the right care, our natural-looking dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. This means practicing good oral hygiene by brushing at least twice a day and flossing regularly. We recommend using a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent scratching your restoration. It’s also important to schedule bi-annual dental check-ups so we can help maintain healthy teeth and gums.
