Advanced 3D Diagnostics
Our clinic utilizes in-house CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanning technology to map your jaw structure in three dimensions. As general practitioners, we use these detailed 3D images to assess bone volume and map anatomical landmarks, assisting in highly precise pre-surgical treatment planning before any implant procedure begins.

To support our patients’ comfort, we offer oral and IV sedation options administered by qualified professionals. These modalities are designed to support a more relaxed, manageable experience—making complex restorative procedures accessible for individuals who experience dental anxiety or sensitivity.

Dental Implant Restoration Options at The Teal Umbrella
As general practitioners, we provide a variety of implant-supported restorative solutions tailored to your unique clinical needs and long-term oral health goals.
For individuals missing one or several teeth, an implant-supported crown or bridge is an established clinical option. The underlying implant post acts as a replacement for the missing tooth root, assisting in the preservation of local bone density and helping prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of alignment. Custom-fabricated crowns are shaded to match your existing natural teeth.
For patients requiring complete upper or lower tooth replacement, full-arch restoration protocols allow a fixed prosthesis to be anchored securely using strategically placed dental implants. This clinical approach provides a fixed alternative designed to offer greater stability and bite function than traditional removable dentures.
If you are missing multiple teeth in a consecutive row, an implant-supported bridge provides a sturdy, fixed solution. Because the bridge structure attaches directly to dental implants anchored in the jawbone, this method eliminates the clinical necessity of reshaping or grinding down adjacent healthy teeth to support a traditional bridge.
All diagnostic evaluations, treatment planning, and restorative implant services are provided by Dr. Samarrae, a General Dentist practicing on Merivale Rd. in Ottawa, Ontario.
Considering Dental Implant Restorations vs. Traditional Dentures
Living with missing teeth or loose, ill-fitting dentures can significantly impact your daily life—influencing everything from what you order at your favorite ByWard Market restaurant to how comfortably you smile in family photographs.
When evaluating tooth-replacement alternatives at our Merivale Rd. practice, it is helpful to understand the structural differences between traditional methods and modern restorations:
Anatomical Support
A distinctive characteristic of a dental implant is its ability to integrate with the jawbone, functioning similarly to a natural tooth root. This localized structural stimulation assists in minimizing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth extraction, which helps support your natural facial contours.
Long-Term Stability
Unlike traditional removable dentures or bridges—which can shift during speech or mastication—implant-anchored restorations provide excellent long-term durability and stability, allowing for a more natural, balanced bite function.
Preservation of Healthy Teeth
 Implant-supported restorations operate independently, meaning our general dentistry team does not need to alter or rely on adjacent healthy teeth for structural support.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Ottawa?
In 2026, the average cost for a single dental implant in Ottawa typically ranges from $3,500 to $5,500. This estimate generally includes the titanium post, the abutment (connector), and the custom porcelain crown. For more complex needs, such as a full-mouth restoration (All-on-4), costs in Ontario can range from $15,000 to $30,000 per arch. At The Teal Umbrella, we provide a transparent, itemized quote during your initial 3D consultation so there are no surprises. We also offer flexible financing options to ensure your long-term oral health is a manageable investment.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients are pleasantly surprised to find that the procedure involves minimal to no pain. Because we use local anesthesia to completely numb the area, you should only feel slight pressure during the surgery. For patients with dental anxiety, we offer Sleep Dentistry (oral or IV sedation) to ensure a stress-free experience. After the procedure, any minor discomfort or swelling is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and typically subsides within 3 to 5 days—often described as being easier than a standard tooth extraction.
How Long Does the Process Take?
The dental implant journey is a multi-step process designed for stability. On average, the total timeline spans 3 to 6 months.
Consultation & Planning: 1–2 visits to map your jaw with 3D imaging.
Surgical Placement: The implant is placed in a single 1–2 hour appointment.
Osseointegration (Healing): This 3-month phase is crucial, as the bone fuses with the implant.
Restoration: Once healed, we attach your custom-made porcelain crown. In some cases, we can provide “immediate load” temporary teeth, so you never have to leave our office with a gap in your smile
Do they require special care?
One of the biggest benefits of dental implants is that they are low-maintenance. You care for them exactly like your natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss, and maintain your regular 6-month check-ups at our Ottawa clinic. While the implant itself cannot get a cavity, the surrounding gums must stay healthy to support it. With diligent oral hygiene, your dental implants are designed to be a lifetime solution.
Does Ontario health insurance (OHIP) cover dental implants?
Generally, OHIP does not cover dental implants as they are considered an elective dental procedure. However, many private employer insurance plans in Ottawa (such as Sun Life or Canada Life) may cover the crown portion of the implant. Our administrative team can submit a “pre-determination” to your insurer to help you maximize your benefits.
Am I a candidate for "Teeth-in-a-Day"?
Many Ottawa patients are eligible for immediate-load implants, often called “Teeth-in-a-Day” or All-on-4. This is ideal if you are losing all your upper or lower teeth. We use advanced 3D CT scans to determine if your bone density is sufficient for this life-changing, one-day procedure.
How long is the recovery time?
While the surgical placement only takes 1–2 hours, the healing process (where the implant fuses to the bone) takes 3 to 6 months. Most patients return to work at their Ottawa offices the very next day. We provide specific post-care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery during our cold Ottawa winters or humid summers
