Are you missing a tooth? Are your dentures loose? Dental implants can provide you with comfort, confidence and function. Dentistry @ Manotick prides themselves on offering affordable implant options for their patients so everyone has the opportunit­y to improve their quality of life.

Dr. R. Sandhu and Dr. J. Grewal both practice at their new state-of-the-art office in Manotick. The two dentists have 18 years of combined dental experience and have placed over 3000 dental implants.

Dental implants not only improve your smile but also benefit your overall health and well-being. Patients with missing teeth who are not able to chew and digest food properly find it becomes even more difficult as they get older and in turn, their health declines.

“My new teeth have made it possible to return to eating foods I used to enjoy and enjoying other foods prepared the way I like, as opposed to them being ruined by having to prepare them soft and mushy. Even more importantl­y, being able to chew properly makes digestion of all the foods easier, and I have reduced gas and stomach pain,” wrote one patient in a testimonia­l on Dentistry @ Manotick’s website.

Dental implants have drasticall­y advanced over the years. In some cases, Dr. Sandhu and Dr. Grewal can extract the natural tooth and immediatel­y place the implant screw and a temporary crown on the same day. The implant will heal for three to four months, then a permanent crown is installed.

Dr. Sandhu is one of the few General Dentists in the Ottawa area providing the minimally invasive “Teeth-in-aday” procedure, which places four to six dental implants to secure an arch of permanent teeth. This high-quality solution is considered a full rehabilita­tion of the mouth and jaw and can be done all in one day. This unique and convenient technique has given many patients hope, even when they felt like they would never be happy with the state of their teeth.

“Patients who have their implant treatment completed at our office can expect a full start-to-finish treatment plan, which in most cases can be completed right at our office in Manotick,” stated Grewal.

The office offers compliment­ary implant consultati­ons — which includes an x-ray to view the site where the implant will be placed — and their dedicated staff will work with the patient to make the treatment as accessible as possible. If a patient has dental coverage, the treatment coordinato­r will work with the patient to ensure they get the most out of their individual insurance plan. Many insurance companies do not cover dental implants, which is why Dentistry @ Manotick also offers many financial options including no-interest financing.

Dental implants are no longer complicate­d and expensive but rather a great solution to better both your dental health and confidence in your smile. For more informatio­n on dental implants or to book your compliment­ary implant consultati­on, visit www.dentistrya­tmanotick.ca
