What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone where a tooth is missing. Over several weeks the bone fuses to the post through a natural process called osseointegration, creating a foundation as stable as a real tooth root. A connector called an abutment is fitted, and a custom porcelain crown is attached on top.
The result looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth. You brush it, floss it, and eat with it exactly as you would your own. Unlike a bridge, an implant does not require grinding down the healthy teeth either side of the gap. Unlike a denture, it does not move, click, or need removing at night.
Why replace a missing tooth?
A gap is not only a cosmetic concern. Left unfilled, a missing tooth sets off a chain of changes. The teeth either side gradually drift toward the space, altering your bite. The tooth opposite the gap can over-erupt, having nothing to meet. Chewing shifts to the other side of the mouth, overloading teeth that were not built for it.
Most significantly, the jawbone beneath the gap begins to shrink without the stimulation a tooth root provides. Research suggests patients can lose up to a quarter of the bone volume in that area within the first year. That loss changes the shape of the lower face over time and can make a future implant more complex, sometimes requiring the very bone grafting that early treatment would have avoided.
Replacing the tooth promptly keeps the bite balanced and preserves the bone. It is one of the few situations in dentistry where acting sooner is meaningfully cheaper than waiting.
The process
Your dental implant treatment, step by step
Three to four months, most of which is healing rather than chair time.
1
Consultation & Examination
We assess the site, checking the bone from a clinical and radiographic exam, review your medical history, and confirm whether you are a candidate. You leave this complimentary appointment knowing the plan, the timeline, and the cost in writing.
2
Implant placement
The titanium post is placed under local anaesthetic, with nitrous oxide sedation available. Most patients describe it as more comfortable than the extraction that often preceded it. The appointment takes about an hour.
3
Healing and osseointegration
The bone fuses to the implant over roughly three to four months. If the tooth is visible when you smile, you wear a temporary restoration in the meantime you will never leave with a visible gap.
4
Abutment and crown
Once healed, the abutment is fitted and your custom porcelain crown is bonded, adjusted for bite, and polished. From this point it is maintained exactly like a natural tooth.

Your implant dentist
Meet Dr. Ahsan Mahmood
Dr. Ahsan Mahmood places and restores dental implants at our Terry Fox Kanata clinic, both the surgical placement and the final crown, under one roof. Rather than referring implant surgery to an outside specialist and handing you back months later, he manages your entire treatment personally.
This continuity matters for implants more than almost any other treatment. One clinician planning and executing the whole case means fewer appointments, no records lost in a handoff, and one person accountable for how the result looks and functions. Sedation is available for anxious patients, and every consultation is complimentary.

DENTAL IMPLANTS
Single tooth, multiple teeth, and full-arch options
Single tooth implant
One post, one crown, replacing one missing tooth without touching the neighbours. The most common procedure we perform, and the $3,599 starting figure applies here.
Implant-supported bridge
Where several adjacent teeth are missing, two implants can support a bridge of three or more teeth more cost-effective per tooth than individual implants, and stronger than a conventional bridge anchored to natural teeth.
Implant-supported dentures and All-on-4
For patients missing an entire arch, as few as four implants can anchor a full set of teeth. The result does not move when eating or speaking, needs no adhesive, and preserves jawbone in a way conventional dentures cannot. We will quote full-arch cases individually, since they vary widely.
Individual results vary, we give an honest assessment at your consultation.
Dental Bridges
Dental Bridges
an alternative for a few missing teeth in a row
Where one or a few teeth in a row are missing, a dental bridge in Kanata is an alternative to individual implants. A bridge is a row of connected artificial teeth that literally bridges the gap, held in place at each end either by the natural teeth on either side, or, better, by dental implants.
Traditional bridge
The teeth on each side of the gap are crowned, and those crowns anchor the replacement tooth in the middle. It is quicker and less expensive than implants, but it means reshaping two otherwise healthy teeth to hold it.
Implant-supported bridge
Rather than leaning on the neighbouring teeth, the bridge is anchored to implants placed in the gap. This preserves the healthy teeth either side, protects the jawbone the way a single implant does, and is the more durable long-term choice for most patients.
Which suits you depends on the gap, the health of the surrounding teeth and your budget. Because we place and restore implants in-house, we can plan a dental bridge for Stittsville and Kanata patients either way and tell you honestly which gives the better long-term result for your case. A single missing tooth is usually better served by one implant; a longer gap or specific circumstances can make a bridge the sensible choice.
Implants Placed and restored in-house
Many practices refer implant surgery to an oral surgeon elsewhere in Ottawa, then restore the crown themselves months later. That means two clinics, two sets of records, two fee schedules, and a handoff in the middle of your treatment.
Dr. Ahsan Mahmood places and restores implants here at our clinic. Planning, surgery and the final crown all happen under one roof with one team accountable for the outcome. For patients travelling in from Stittsville, Carp or Richmond, that removes several trips into central Ottawa from an already lengthy process.
Insurance, CDCP and payment
Coverage for implants varies. Some private plans contribute toward the crown portion, others exclude implants as a “major” procedure. The Canadian Dental Care Plan does not currently cover implants, though it does cover many of the alternatives we can discuss with you.
We verify your specific benefits and submit a pre-determination to your insurer before treatment, so your exact out-of-pocket cost is known in advance. Payment plans are available. Compared against the lifetime cost of repeatedly relining a denture or replacing a failed bridge, an implant is frequently the more economical choice over ten to twenty years a point worth weighing beyond the upfront figure.

The main requirement is enough healthy bone to anchor the implant, and bone is assessed from clinical and radiographic exam before recommending treatment.
Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and certain medications affect healing; we’ll discuss these honestly. And if an implant is not the right choice for you, we will say so and walk you through bridges and partial dentures instead. A treatment likely to fail is not one worth selling.

Common questions
Dental implant FAQs
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Over the next few months, the bone heals around the post and holds it firmly in place. A small connector, called an abutment, is then attached, and a custom-made crown is fitted on top to replace the visible part of the tooth.
A single dental implant at our Kanata clinic starts at $3,599. That includes initial consultation, implant surgery, final abutment and custom ceramic crown. No hidden cost. If tooth extraction is needed prior to implant placement, if bone grafting or a sinus lift is required, we confirm that cost in writing before treatment.
Yes. We are eight minutes from Stittsville Main Street at 600 Terry Fox Drive, with free parking.

Yes. We accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and work with private dental insurance.
CDCP patients: We bill the CDCP directly for covered treatment. You pay only your portion at the time of your visit: any co-payment that applies to your CDCP coverage tier, plus any difference between our fee and the amount the CDCP pays. Treatment that is not covered by the CDCP is paid by the patient. We will explain your expected costs before treatment begins.
Private insurance: We are a fee-for-service office, so you pay at the time of your visit and are reimbursed by your insurer. We are happy to submit your claim for you, and we can request a pre-determination in advance so you know what your plan is expected to cover.
Dental implants are one of the most durable and well-studied ways to replace a missing tooth, and with good home care and regular checkups, many continue to function well for many years. How long any individual implant lasts varies from person to person and depends on factors such as oral hygiene, gum and bone health, smoking, general health conditions like diabetes, and clenching or grinding. The crown attached to the implant is subject to normal wear, like any dental restoration, and may need repair or replacement over time. At your consultation, we will review the factors specific to you and explain how to give your implant the best chance of long-term success.
Placement is done under local anaesthetic and most patients report less discomfort than the extraction that often preceded it. Nitrous oxide sedation is available if you feel anxious. Mild tenderness for two to three days afterwards is normal and managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
From placement to final crown is typically three to four months, most of which is healing time. You may be required to attend one appointment during this waiting period to monitor the healing process. Where a tooth still needs extracting first, add a further two to three months of healing before final crown placement.
We place and restore implants entirely in-house. Dr. Ahsan Mahmood handles planning, surgery and the final crown, so there is no separate surgeon and no handoff mid-treatment one clinic, one team, one person accountable for the result.
Neighbouring teeth drift toward the gap, the opposing tooth can over-erupt, and the jawbone beneath the space begins to shrink patients can lose up to a quarter of that bone within the first year. Replacing the tooth promptly keeps the bite balanced and preserves bone, which is why acting sooner is often cheaper than waiting.
It depends on the gap. For a single missing tooth, an implant is usually the better long-term choice, it does not require reshaping the neighbouring teeth and it preserves the jawbone. For a few teeth missing in a row, an implant-supported bridge is often ideal, and a traditional bridge anchored to the neighbouring teeth can be a quicker, less expensive option. Because we place implants and make bridges in-house, we will tell you honestly which suits your case.
