Dental Implants near Newmarket
Implant treatment happens in stages over several months. Here is how it works at our Aurora clinic, and how to plan the trips from Newmarket.
The short answer
For dental implants, Newmarket patients can see Aurora Gateway Dental Care at 676 Wellington Street East in Aurora. Dr. Kourosh Rahimi, whose training focuses on implant dentistry, is part of our team. An exam and X-rays come first. From Newmarket, take Bayview Avenue, Yonge Street or Leslie Street south, or Highway 404 to Wellington Street, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Why Newmarket patients come to Aurora
Dental implants in Newmarket or Aurora are not a one-visit job, so it is worth choosing a clinic you can reach easily over several months. Our office is a short drive south, with free parking at the door, which matters on surgery day when someone else may be driving you home. Evening times on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Saturday hours can help with the shorter follow-up visits.
Our team includes Dr. Kourosh Rahimi, whose training focuses on implant dentistry and includes the UCLA Master Program in Implant Dentistry. At your consultation we will tell you which dentist will plan and place your implant, and whether any part of your care would be referred. Our team speaks English, Farsi, Tamil and Tagalog, which some families find helpful when an older relative is weighing a big decision.
Is a dental implant right for your missing tooth?
An implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone. Once the bone heals around it, a crown, bridge or denture is attached on top. Implants suit many people, but not everyone. Your dentist looks at your bone, gums, bite, medicines and general health first.
Sometimes a bridge or a denture is the better fit, and we will explain those choices just as carefully. Gum disease is treated first, and some people need a bone graft before an implant can be placed.
Newmarket dental implants: the stages and the trips
Knowing the stages helps you plan time off work and rides. Your written plan shows the expected timeline for your case.
- Consultation, exam and X-rays, with 3D imaging if it is needed for planning
- Written plan and estimate, which we can send to your insurer for a predetermination
- Implant placement under local anaesthetic
- A few months of healing while the bone bonds to the implant
- Fitting of the connector and your custom crown
- Regular checks of the implant and gums at your checkups
Honest limits and risks
Implant surgery can cause swelling, bruising and soreness for a few days. Now and then an implant does not bond with the bone and has to be replaced after healing. Your risk is higher if you smoke, if diabetes is not well controlled, or if you take certain bone medicines, so bring a full list of what you take. Plaque around an implant can lead to gum inflammation and bone loss, which is why cleanings and checkups stay important.

Questions
How many visits will I need to make from Newmarket?
It depends on your case. Most people have a consultation, a placement visit, one or more healing checks and a crown fitting over several months. A bone graft or an extraction first adds visits. Your written plan lists the expected stages.
Who places implants at your clinic?
Dr. Kourosh Rahimi, whose training focuses on implant dentistry, is part of our team. At your consultation, we will tell you which dentist will plan and place your implant and whether anything would be referred.
Can I drive myself home after implant surgery?
That depends on what is used to keep you comfortable. With local anaesthetic alone, many people can. If sedation is part of your plan, you will need someone to drive you. We will confirm this before the day.
Does insurance pay for dental implants?
Many private plans pay for part of an implant or none of it. We can send a predetermination first and bill your insurer directly. Your written estimate breaks the cost down stage by stage before any work begins.
Can implants help my loose lower denture?
Often, yes. Two or more implants can let a denture clip into place so it moves less when you eat and speak. Your dentist will check your bone to see if this is possible.
What if winter weather affects a follow-up visit?
Call us if roads from Newmarket are bad. Healing checks can often move by a few days. If you have swelling, bleeding or pain that is getting worse, call us right away.
