Dental Implants
What are Dental Implants?
To replace missing teeth, dental implants are a modern option providing the aesthetic and functional equivalent of natural teeth. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots — they generally consist of titanium metal posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone. These are secure abutments to which the artificial teeth (crowns) will be attached.
Viewed as one of the most important dental innovations of the last half century, teeth implants are a long-lasting solution that is intended to be permanent. These do more than just restore your smile to its natural best as they also give back full function, letting you eat, speak and laugh quite confidently.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
Implants are a permanent fix and can last you your entire lifetime, when well-maintained
Only you will know that the crown isn't your original tooth. Nobody can differentiate by looking at you.
You get to enjoy all the foods that you love without any limitations as implants function as your natural teeth.
Implants help stop bone loss (which is normal when you have missing teeth) by stimulating the growth of bone.
Implants replace your teeth and are fixed in place, so again beyond normal oral hygiene you do not need to take care of them.
Implants become a part of the mouth, just as normal teeth do, which means you can feel like they are your regular set of teeth and save you from the discomfort of dentures.
With implants, you can speak and smile again with confidence, without the fear of dentures falling out.
Dental Implants at Markham Smile Centre
At Markham Smile Centre, we take an all-inclusive, patient-focused approach to dental implants. We ensure your satisfaction and comfort throughout the process.
Primary Consultation: It all starts with a complete examination of your teeth and gums, including digital images, and oral health history. We use these to determine whether you are a good candidate for implants, and also to take care of any concerns that you may have.
Customized Treatment Plan: Based on our diagnosis, we tailor a customized treatment plan for you made-to-order to match your requirements, objectives and budget.
Teeth Extraction (if needed): We remove any teeth that need to be extracted. There are times where we are able to put in the implant at the same appointment.
Bone Grafting (if necessary) :If the patient does not have enough bone density, bone grafting may be needed to build a good base for the implant.
Implant Placement: With advanced equipment, we are able to surgically position the titanium implant in your jawbone. The treatment itself is carried out with local anesthesia, and it takes between 1-2 hours.
Anchor Fusing to Jawbone (Osseointegration): The implant is carefully placed in the jawbone, where it will fuse during healing. This process, which takes a few months, is essential for maintaining the overall health and lifespan of your implant.
Recovery: Then the next step is to place an abutment on the implant. This will be the connection for your crown.
Finished Restoration: Finally, we will place a custom crown onto the attached abutment to restore your smile.

Everyone here is very friendly and provides excellent care. I received a full exam on my first visit, and everyone took time to answer my questions and ensured I felt comfortable the entire time - exactly what you want when visiting the dentist. I highly recommend Markham Smile Centre for anyone looking for great dental care.
There is an ample parking space before you get into the office. The receptionists welcome us friendly with proper COVID-19 procedures in place. The staff worked with patient very patiently and professionally. My teeth cleaning was done by Ying, she explained every detail to me and I did not feel any pain or uncomfortable at all. Thanks to the best team !
It's been a while since I've been to a dentist but I'm trying to get back on track with health in general. Overall it was great going to Markham Smile Centre! The receptionist (I believe she was Kim) was friendly. The hygienist, Ying, was attentive and gentle during the cleaning; x-ray tech (forgot her name, sorry!) was great too. Dr. Sara Riad explained things with good detail. Looking forward to going back!
I was someone who was nervous and anxious about visiting the dentist, but the team at Markham Smile Centre has made me feel SO comfortable. Kim is so patient and helpful and Dr. Hwang and Rory are both so professional and wonderful. They thoroughly explain the procedure to make you comfortable beforehand and are very gentle. I now look forward to visiting the dentist!
I found this place on a whim when I was looking for a new dentist in Markham. My hygienist ying was super nice and her cleaning was very gentle yet thorough. I saw Dr.Jason and he was very nice and informative in regards to what needs to be done and provided me with all the information I needed to make a choice. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new dentist, they’re accepting new patients!!
I have been to many dentists in my life, Dr. Jason is easily the best dentist I have ever been too. He does everything he can to make you comfortable no matter the procedure and is a true professional, as does all the staff at Markham Smile Centre. Truly an amazing dentistry
The clinic was clean and the staff was very polite. I particularly liked the fact that everything was explained to me before going in for the procedure so I knew what to expect at each step. The dental hygienist who did the cleaning for me was also very gentle and took my concerns into consideration. I will definitely recommend them.
Upon arriving to the Markham Smile Centre, my son and I were greeted with a warm welcome by the receptionists. The hygienists and Dentist were very gentle and transparent with what they were doing. The hygienist that worked on my 9 year old son was patient and very friendly with him, which helped ease his nerves. Our overall experience was A+.
Since I was little, I have always hated going to the dentist... Its always uncomfortable and unpleasant. These days, visiting the dentist isn’t so bad! Dr Jason, Rory, and the lovely staff at reception make the experience 100x better. I have had absolutely no issues with the gum graft and cleanings that I’ve gotten done here. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful, even when I’m calling in or emailing a hundred questions :). I would highly recommend Markham Smile Centre.
Love this place! All the staffs are friendly and Professional and I mean all, cause I've been to most of their office, Markham , Stouffville, North York, and Maple.
