Dental Implants in Mississauga
St. Lawrence Dentistry provides safe and comfortable dental implant treatment to help patients replace missing teeth and restore a natural-looking smile.
Restore Your Smile With Dental Implants
Dental implants are small prosthetic posts placed into the jawbone to replace the root portion of a missing tooth. Once the implant has integrated with the surrounding bone, a porcelain crown is attached to complete the restoration.
Dental implants can look, feel, and function much like natural teeth. They can also help maintain the spacing of your teeth and support your long-term oral health.
What To Expect With Dental Implant Treatment
The first step is a careful assessment with Dr. Hawryluk to determine whether a dental implant is appropriate for you. Your oral health, available bone, and specific treatment goals will all be considered before treatment begins.
St. Lawrence Dentistry uses premium BioHorizons Laser-Lok implants. Once the implant has successfully integrated with the jawbone, a porcelain crown is placed to restore the missing tooth.

The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer several advantages when replacing missing teeth. They can help:
- Replace a missing tooth without shaving down adjacent teeth, as may be required with a dental bridge.
- Help maintain bone and proper spacing around the missing tooth.
- Provide a natural-looking and comfortable restoration.
- Make eating and speaking more comfortable.
- Secure and stabilize dentures for eligible patients.
- Avoid cavities in the implant itself.
Is A Dental Implant Right For You?
Many people who are missing one or more teeth may be candidates for dental implants. Dr. Hawryluk will carefully evaluate your individual situation and discuss your available options with you.
Our goal is to help you achieve a healthy, functional, and natural-looking smile with treatment that is appropriate for your needs.
