Complete Dental Implant Solutions
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth.
They offer a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
At St. Joseph Dental Studio, we provide comprehensive implant treatment in-house.
From initial consultation and surgical placement to final crown restoration.
Whether you’re missing:
- a single tooth,
- multiple teeth, or
- need full mouth restoration,
Dr. Fitzsimmons has the expertise to rebuild your smile from start to finish.
Serving families throughout Orléans and surrounding Ottawa neighbourhoods, we make permanent tooth replacement accessible and convenient.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into your jawbone.
It replaces the root of a missing tooth — creating a permanent, stable foundation. Over time, the post fuses naturally with your bone. This process is called osseointegration.
Once healed, Dr. Fitzsimmons attaches a custom crown, bridge, or denture on top.
The result looks, feels, and functions like a real tooth.
No slipping. No grinding down healthy teeth. No bone loss.
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that preserves your jawbone long-term.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Looks & Feels Natural
Custom-matched to your surrounding teeth in shape, size, and colour.
Nobody will know it’s there.
Prevents Bone Loss
No implant means your jawbone starts shrinking within months.
Implants stimulate bone just like natural roots — stopping that process.
Built to Last
With proper care, implants last 25 years — often a lifetime.
No Slipping or Clicking
Fixed permanently in place. Eat, speak, and laugh without worry.
Eat Whatever You Want
Steak, apples, corn on the cob — enjoy your favourite foods again.
No restrictions. Full chewing power restored.
Smile With Confidence
Regain your confidence in every conversation, photo, and moment.
Dental Implant Treatment Options
Single Tooth Implant
This is for anyone missing one tooth.
A single implant with a custom crown is the most natural, permanent replacement.
No grinding down healthy teeth. No removable parts.
Multiple Tooth Implants
This is for anyone missing multiple teeth.
Individual implants or an implant-supported bridge replace several teeth at once.
More stable and more natural than a partial denture.
Full Mouth Restoration
All-on-4 Four strategically placed implants support a full arch of replacement teeth.
No individual implant per tooth. More affordable. Faster completion.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are dentures anchored to implants instead of resting on your gums.
No slipping, no adhesives, no sore spots.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults with missing teeth are excellent candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have:
- Adequate bone density to support the implant
- Healthy gums free from active periodontal disease
- Good overall health that supports healing after minor surgery
- Commitment to oral hygiene and regular dental visits
- Non-smokers or willing to quit
Conditions That May Require Special Consideration:
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Heavy smoking
- Severe bone loss (may require grafting first)
- Active gum disease (requires treatment before implant placement)
- Certain medications that affect bone healing

The Dental Implant Process
Step 1: Consultation & Evaluation
Dr. Fitzsimmons examines your mouth, takes digital X-rays and 3D imaging, and walks you through your options.
You’ll leave with a clear treatment plan.
Step 2: Implant Placement
The area is fully frozen before we start.
The dentist surgically places the titanium post into your jawbone.
Most procedures take 1 to 2 hours. Laughing gas is available for anxious patients.
Step 3: Healing Period
Over the next 3 to 6 months, your jawbone fuses naturally with the implant.
This creates a permanent, stable foundation.
A temporary restoration keeps you covered while you heal.
Step 4: Abutment & Final Crown
Once healed, Dr. Fitzsimmons attaches the abutment and places your custom crown, bridge, or denture.
Single tooth restorations can often be completed using our same-day crown technology.
Step 5: Follow-Up Care
Regular checkups keep your implant healthy long-term. With proper care, your implant can last a lifetime.
