Restore Your Smile with Confidence
A dental implant is a permanent solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth. It’s a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as the root of a missing tooth. After the implant integrates with the bone, a crown, bridge, or denture is placed on top to restore the function and appearance of your smile.
At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, Dr. Kutaiba Alzohaili specializes in dental implants, offering top-tier care with a personalized approach to each patient’s needs. Dr. Kutaiba uses Straumann implants, which are known for their high quality and reliability. He also offers immediate implant placement, where a tooth can be extracted and an implant placed on the same day, provided the patient’s oral health and bone condition are suitable. Dr. Kutaiba uses 3D X-rays (CBCT) to carefully evaluate the condition of the tooth and bone to ensure the best outcomes for patients.
Dental implants have a high success rate and offer several benefits, including improved speech, comfort, and the prevention of bone loss. The procedure typically involves:
Consultation & Assessment: A thorough evaluation of your oral health to determine the best treatment plan.
Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone.
Healing: The implant integrates with the bone over a few months.
Restoration: Once healed, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is placed onto the implant.
Dr. Kutaiba offers a 3-year limited warranty on dental implants after placement, ensuring the implant's health and longevity as long as patients maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular check-ups.
Dental Implant: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get my tooth pulled and get implant the same day?
Yes, it’s possible to have a tooth extracted and receive a dental implant the same day, known as "immediate implant placement." At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, Dr. Kutaiba Alzohaili has been doing this for years with high success.
Key factors include:
Health of the Tooth and Bone: The tooth should be healthy, and there must be enough bone to support the implant. Dr. Alzohaili uses 3D X-rays (CBCT) to gather detailed information on the bone structure.
Type of Implant: Dr. Alzohaili uses the Straumann BLX implant system, the highest quality and specifically designed for immediate placement.
Dr. Alzohaili will evaluate your condition to determine if you're a candidate for this procedure.
Does Canadian insurance cover dental implants?
In Canada, dental insurance coverage for implants varies depending on the plan. Most standard dental insurance policies may cover a portion of the cost of dental implants, but often as part of a broader treatment plan, such as replacing a missing tooth with a crown. However, implants themselves may not always be fully covered, especially if the procedure is considered cosmetic or if it is not deemed medically necessary.
It's best to check the specifics of your dental plan, as some insurance providers may cover implants partially or offer additional coverage options for more extensive procedures. If needed, at Oakville Dental Implant Studio, we can help you send a pre-authorization to determine how much your insurance will cover.
Do you get put to sleep for dental implants?
At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, most implant procedures do not require sedation and can be comfortably done using local anesthesia, which numbs only the area being treated. This means you’ll remain awake but won’t feel any pain during the procedure.
If you prefer a more relaxed experience, we can offer additional options like oral sedation. This includes methods such as laughing gas (nitrous oxide) or oral sedative pills, which help you feel calm and at ease while still being awake for the procedure.
Dr. Kutaiba Alzohaili and the team are experienced in offering these sedation options to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience. Would you like to explore these options further or schedule a consultation?
How painful is getting a tooth implant?
Getting a dental implant is generally not very painful because the procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the surgery itself.
After the anesthesia wears off, you can expect mild to moderate discomfort, similar to a tooth extraction. The pain is usually manageable with ibuprofen or Tylenol. Some swelling, bruising, and soreness can last for a few days to a week.
If bone grafting or multiple implants are placed, there might be more discomfort, but it’s temporary and can be managed with medication. Dr. Alzohaili at Oakville Dental Implant Studio will provide post-op care instructions to help with healing.
Tips to Speed Up Recovery:
Follow Dr. Alzohaili’s instructions for medications and oral hygiene.
Apply ice packs for 20 minutes on and off during the first 24-48 hours.
Eat soft foods for the first few days.
Avoid smoking and alcohol as they delay healing.
Gently rinse with salt water and avoid brushing directly over the implant.
Rest and avoid strenuous activities for at least 48 hours.
Watch for infection signs like excessive swelling or pus and contact Dr. Alzohaili if needed.
Healing time varies, but most discomfort fades within days, and full healing takes months.
How much does a tooth implant cost in Canada?
The cost of a single dental implant in Canada typically ranges from $3,000 to $6,000. This price includes the implant, abutment, and crown. However, the total cost can vary based on factors such as:
The complexity of the case
The type of implant used
The dentist’s expertise and location
Additional procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts
For a full-mouth restoration, the cost can range from $30,000 to $70,000 or more, depending on the number of implants required and the type of prosthetic solution used.
If you're considering dental implants, Oakville Dental Implant Studio offers high-quality, competitively priced solutions with expert care. Would you like to book a consultation?
How long does a dental implant last?
A dental implant can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. The implant itself, a titanium post fused to the jawbone, is designed to be permanent. However, the crown (prosthetic tooth) attached to the implant may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear and tear.
We are committed to the highest standards at Oakville Dental Implant Studio. We use one of the most trusted and highest-quality dental implants in the world—Straumann from Switzerland. Dr. Alzohaili stands by his work and provides a 3-year limited warranty if the client maintains:
✔ Good oral hygiene (brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings)
✔ Avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
✔ Regular dental check-ups to monitor implant health
What is the biggest cause of implant failure?
The dental implant failure rate is generally low, ranging from 2% to 5% on average. However, success rates can be as high as 95% to 98% over ten years, depending on various factors.
Biggest Cause of Implant Failure
The most common reason for implant failure is peri-implantitis, an infection that causes inflammation, bone loss, and ultimately implant failure. This condition is often linked to poor oral hygiene, smoking, or other risk factors.
Factors Affecting Implant Success or Failure
Bone Quality & Quantity – Sufficient, healthy bone is crucial for implant stability. Bone grafting may be necessary if there’s bone loss.
Oral Hygiene – Poor hygiene can lead to peri-implantitis, weakening the implant.
Smoking & Alcohol – Smoking significantly increases failure risk by reducing blood flow to the gums.
General Health Conditions – Diabetes, osteoporosis, or autoimmune diseases may slow healing and increase failure risk.
Bite & Grinding (Bruxism) – Excessive force on an implant can cause loosening or failure.
Surgical Technique & Implant Type – Expertise matters. Dr. Kutaiba Alzohaili uses Straumann implants, designed for immediate placement with high success rates.
At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, Dr. Kutaiba Alzohaili ensures the highest success rates by using 3D X-rays (CBCT) and precise surgical planning to assess bone health and positioning. Regular follow-ups and good oral hygiene play a key role in maintaining long-term implant success.
What are the most common issues or complications associated with dental implants?
The most common complications with dental implants include:
Infection: Infection can occur at the implant site, leading to swelling, pain, or even implant failure. At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, we use the highest infection control measures to minimize this risk, ensuring a sterile and safe environment for the procedure.
Implant failure: In some cases, the implant may fail to integrate with the bone, leading to loosening or even rejection of the implant. This can be due to factors like poor bone quality, infection, or excessive stress on the implant. At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, we use the Straumann dental implant system, one of the most trusted and highest-quality implant systems, to ensure optimal success and long-term stability.
Peri-implantitis: This is an infection of the tissue around the implant, similar to gum disease. It can cause inflammation, bleeding, and bone loss, affecting the implant's stability. At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, we emphasize high oral hygiene standards to help you maintain your oral health and prevent peri-implantitis.
Poor aesthetic results: Sometimes the implant may not match the surrounding teeth in appearance, leading to an unsatisfactory aesthetic outcome. Dr. Kutaiba Alzohaili uses the latest technology to design and perform implants that deliver excellent aesthetic results, ensuring a natural, beautiful smile.
By following our strict protocols and advanced technology, we aim to minimize these complications and ensure the best outcome for our patients.
What does no one tell you about dental implants?
What No One Tells You About Dental Implants
Dental implants offer an incredible solution for missing teeth, but there are some important facts many people don’t know. Here are 5 key things you should consider:
1. Bone & Gum Health Are Crucial
Implants require strong bone and healthy gums. If either is lacking, you may need bone or gum grafting before the procedure.
2. Healing Takes Several Months
Although the implant procedure is quick, healing and integration with the bone take 3-6 months before the final crown can be placed.
3. Implants Prevent Bone Loss
When a tooth is missing, the jawbone starts to shrink. Dental implants help preserve bone structure, preventing facial changes over time.
4. Care Is Essential
While implants don’t get cavities, they still require regular brushing and check-ups to avoid gum disease, which can cause failure.
5. Immediate Implants Aren’t for Everyone
Some patients can get a tooth extraction and implant in one visit, but it depends on bone and gum health. Dr. Kutaiba Alzohaili specializes in immediate implants using Straumann BLX implants.
Dental implants are a life-changing solution for missing teeth, offering long-term function, aesthetics, and health benefits. If you’re considering implants, consult an expert to see if they’re the right fit for you.

What percentage of people have problems with dental implants?
Dental implants are known for their high success rate, but it's important to note that 5 to 10 percent of dental implants may experience failure, either shortly after the procedure or months or even years later. Despite this, the vast majority of patients experience successful outcomes, with success rates typically ranging from 95% to 98%. While problems are rare, certain factors can increase the likelihood of complications, such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, infections, insufficient bone structure, or issues with the implant's fit or placement.
At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, Dr. Kutaiba Alzohaili takes a personalized approach to minimize these risks. By using advanced techniques like 3D imaging and the Straumann BLX implant system, Dr. Alzohaili ensures that each implant is precisely placed for optimal integration with the bone. We prioritize thorough assessments and customized treatment plans to ensure long-term success and patient satisfaction.
Common complications that can arise include:
Implant Failure: This is rare but can occur if the implant fails to properly integrate with the bone (osseointegration).
Infections: Poor oral hygiene can lead to infections around the implant or in surrounding tissues.
Peri-implantitis: An inflammatory condition affecting the tissues around the implant, similar to gum disease, which can result in bone loss.
At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, Dr. Alzohaili works closely with each patient to prevent these complications and ensure the highest level of care.

A dental implant is a permanent solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth. It’s a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as the root of a missing tooth. After the implant integrates with the bone, a crown, bridge, or denture is placed on top to restore the function and appearance of your smile.
At Oakville Dental Implant Studio, Dr. Kutaiba Alzohaili specializes in dental implants, offering top-tier care with a personalized approach to each patient’s needs. Dr. Kutaiba uses Straumann implants, which are known for their high quality and reliability. He also offers immediate implant placement, where a tooth can be extracted and an implant placed on the same day, provided the patient’s oral health and bone condition are suitable. Dr. Kutaiba uses 3D X-rays (CBCT) to carefully evaluate the condition of the tooth and bone to ensure the best outcomes for patients.
Dental implants have a high success rate and offer several benefits, including improved speech, comfort, and the prevention of bone loss. The procedure typically involves:
Consultation & Assessment: A thorough evaluation of your oral health to determine the best treatment plan.
Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone.
Healing: The implant integrates with the bone over a few months.
Restoration: Once healed, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is placed onto the implant.
