Dental implants in London, Ontario, replace missing tooth roots and provide a long-term solution that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Most people don’t realize how much they rely on a full set of teeth until one goes missing. A gap in your smile, especially near the front, can make even confident people self-conscious. At Oakridge Dental Care in London, Ontario, we’ve helped patients through exactly this situation. Dental implants are often the most effective long-term solution, not just for how your smile looks, but for how it functions day to day.
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in your jawbone, where it serves as a replacement tooth root. Once it’s healed and integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached on top. The result? A replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions almost exactly like the real thing.
Unlike dentures, implants don’t slip or need adhesive. Unlike bridges, they don’t rely on the neighbouring teeth for support. An implant stands on its own, which is part of why they last so long.

It might be time to explore implants if:
There’s a reason dental implants have become the gold standard for tooth replacement. A few, actually.
We’re honest with you from the start. If implants aren’t right for you, we’ll tell you why and explain any necessary prep work honestly, because informed patients make better decisions.
We plan carefully. Good implant outcomes depend on careful imaging-guided planning and precise placement — we take the time to do it right.
We make the process manageable. We go at your pace and no rushing, questions welcomed, check-ins throughout.
We’re a real local clinic. We’re not a chain but we’re your London, Ontario dental home for years, invested in your long-term outcomes.
Our patients come back — and send their families. We think that says more than anything we could write here.
The placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel sharp pain during it. Most patients experience mild discomfort after a tooth extraction, which can be managed with over-the-counter medications.
The implant post is designed to last a lifetime with proper care. The crown on top typically lasts 15 to 20 years, sometimes longer, depending on where it sits in your mouth and how well it’s maintained.
Age alone is rarely a disqualifier. What matters is your overall health, bone density, and gum condition. Dr. Dhruv has placed implants for patients well into their 70s throughout his career.
Coverage varies by plan. Some policies include partial coverage under restorative or prosthodontic benefits. We’ll help you review your insurance before treatment begins so you’re not caught off guard.
Bone loss after tooth loss is common but doesn’t rule out implants and a bone graft can often rebuild the foundation needed for placement.
A single complete implant (including the post, abutment, and custom crown) typically costs between $3,000 and $5,000, depending on complexity. We provide a detailed, transparent quote at your consultation — No vague estimates.
