Permanent, High-Quality Solutions for Your Smile

Fully-Restored Implants for One or More Missing Teeth

Conventional Implants for One or More Missing Teeth

Replace one tooth or several teeth.

Includes Implant, Abutment and Crown.

Can stop your remaining teeth from crowding or toppling into the space(s) left by your missing teeth.

The implant and crown look, feel and function like a natural tooth.

An implant will give your jaw the stimulation it needs to stay strong; so you can avoid bone loss in that area.

Snap-On Denture

Supported By Implants

Much more secure than conventional dentures.

Chew properly again – so you can start eating your favorite foods!

Stop dentures from “floating” in your mouth, slipping around, chafing, causing you pain, falling out, and say goodbye to goopy, nasty-tasting adhesives.

Upper or lower dentures can be “snapped” securely onto the implants by the patient.

Permanent Dentures Supported by Implants

Non-Removable Dentures Supported by Implants

Chew, laugh, smile and talk again with confidence.

This is a semi-permanent solution, which means that the “teeth” on top of the implants cannot be removed by the person – but they can be removed by the dentist if necessary, and for cleaning.

You will be able to chew, laugh and talk like you used to.

Treatment may take only one day.

This is the most permanent, natural solution to missing teeth.

*During your consultation we will explain all your pricing and payment options.

Masters Degree In Anesthesia

Conveniently Located Near You

My name is Dr. Kal Khaled. I’ve been practicing dentistry since 1986 – and my passion for Implant Dentistry began more than 20 years ago.

Over time, I’ve invested hundreds of hours into my continuing education to stay up to date with the latest in implant procedures. My interest in this particular field even inspired me to join the board of directors and become president at the Toronto Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. I also taught other dentists part time at the Faculty of Dentistry in Toronto.

My favourite thing about placing implants is the happiness I see in each patient after the process is complete.

I love providing patients with dental implant solutions (which are the closest thing to getting their “natural” teeth back) – and my masters and specialty in Anesthesia means that I can also safely sedate (put to sleep) patients with anxiety.

In fact, I was president of the Ontario society of Dental Anesthesia as well. As they say, I wear many hats; including that of a husband, a father of two grown daughters, and a competitive soccer player.

My ever-increasing passion for dentistry, and specifically dental implants, stems from helping patient after patient discover that dental implants can change their lives – and seeing the joy on their faces when they get their teeth back.

Consequences of Missing Teeth and Bone Loss

When you’re missing a bunch of teeth, you’ll notice over time that the source of your smile’s beauty is truly not just skin (or gum) deep.

The most important thing you need to know is this:

Your natural tooth root stimulates the bone in your jaw, below your gum line…

… and the bones in your jaw need this kind of stimulation in order to remain strong, dense and healthy. Without stimulation from the root of each tooth, the bone in your jaw starts to change… and not in a good way.

Bone loss in your jaw from missing teeth can

make you look “old” before your time

Before and after bone loss from missing teeth in your jaw

The effects of missing teeth and bone loss over time

In the absence of root-deep stimulus, your jawbone actually begins to atrophy, or shrink. As the bone in your jaw continually withers away, the corners of your mouth droop… and your facial muscles start to shift out of position, completely changing what you’re used to seeing when you look in the mirror.

This change in your facial muscles causes wrinkles to appear before their time. Your cheeks begin to change shape as well; and in the end, your continually deteriorating jawbone and loss of jaw height in the back causes your nose to point down, and your chin to point up – giving you a witch-like appearance.

If this isn’t bad enough, your lips lose support as well, collapsing into themselves, and becoming flattened and puckered – which further “ages” your appearance.

Even if you’re perfectly content with your dentures, you’ll most likely have trouble with the way they fit down the road, as your jawbone continues to deteriorate.

Over time, there will be less muscle, and less bone, to hold your dentures in place. Nerves come closer to the surface as your gums wear down… and it’s possible to end up experiencing agony every time you take a bite.
