Dental Implants in Amherstburg, Ontario
SD Family Dentistry provides dental implants at 79 Richmond Street in Amherstburg. A dental implant is a titanium post fixed in the jawbone in place of a lost tooth root; a crown or bridge is then attached on top. Treatment starts with a visit that includes X-rays so we can judge whether an implant fits your mouth. Call (519) 736-1771 to book.
What a dental implant is
The Canadian Dental Association describes an implant as a titanium artificial root placed in the jawbone to replace a natural tooth root, with a false tooth fastened to it. That post holds the new tooth so you can bite and chew. One implant often carries a single crown. Two or more implants can support a bridge when neighbouring teeth are missing as well.
When people ask about implants
Common reasons include a tooth that was removed and left a gap, a failing tooth that cannot be kept with a filling or crown, or more than one missing tooth in the same area. Leaving a gap for a long time can let nearby teeth drift, which makes cleaning harder. The Canadian Dental Association notes that implants are one option alongside bridges, partial dentures and complete dentures.
Implants, bridges and other choices
A bridge fills a gap by joining a replacement tooth to the teeth beside it, which usually means those teeth are shaped to hold it. A partial or complete denture rests on the gums and comes out for cleaning. An implant stands in the bone on its own, so the teeth beside the gap are left alone when that approach fits. None of these choices suits every mouth. Our dentists will explain which ones make sense after looking at your bone, gums and bite. If you need a full set of teeth held by implants rather than one or a few crowns, see our implant dentures page.
From the first visit to the finished tooth
- Exam: we review the gap, neighbouring teeth and gums, go through your health history, and capture X-rays. When the bone needs a closer look, we take a 3D CBCT scan here in the office.
- Plan: you hear whether an implant is realistic, what would sit on top of it, and how visits are spaced.
- Placement and healing: our dentists place the post in the jaw; bone then has to knit to it before it can take a full bite.
- Final tooth: a crown or bridge is fitted to the implant and your bite is checked.
Several visits are typical. If you feel nervous about treatment, sedation is available for implant visits, and our dentists will talk through whether it suits you. The timeline depends on healing and on whether any preparatory work is needed first.
What affects the cost of dental implants
We do not list dollar amounts on this page. The fee for your own plan depends on factors such as:
- How many posts are placed and how many teeth those posts will carry
- Whether an extraction is needed before the implant
- Whether the jaw needs a bone graft or similar preparatory work
- What restoration sits on the implant: one crown, a multi-tooth bridge, or another design
- X-rays or a 3D CBCT scan, visit count, and any temporary tooth worn during healing
Private insurance may help with part of the fee; what it pays varies by policy. For questions about government dental coverage, call our front desk so we can look at your situation. After your exam we provide an estimate for your plan. Our article on dental implant cost in Amherstburg walks through the same kind of factors in more detail.

Dental implant questions
Does SD Family Dentistry offer dental implants in Amherstburg?

Where can I get dental implants in Windsor–Essex?
SD Family Dentistry offers dental implants in Amherstburg at 79 Richmond Street. If you live elsewhere in Windsor–Essex and are comparing options, start with an exam here so you have a clear Amherstburg-based plan rather than relying only on Windsor shortlists.
How much do dental implants cost in Amherstburg?
The cost depends on how many implants you need, what is attached on top, and whether extractions or preparatory steps are required. We give a written estimate after your exam. See our dental implant cost article for a fuller discussion of the factors; this page does not publish fee figures.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
Expect more than one visit: bone has to settle firmly against the post before the final crown or bridge is loaded. Your dentist will set a schedule that matches your plan.
Can implants replace more than one tooth?
Yes. One implant can hold a single crown, and implants can also support a bridge when several teeth in a row are missing. A larger set of teeth held by implants is covered on our implant dentures page.
Are your dentists specialists?
No. The dentists at SD Family Dentistry are general dentists rather than dental specialists. When a dental specialist is a better fit for your case, we will talk through a referral.
