What are Implants?
Whether you have lost teeth due to an injury or a gum disease, Dental Implants can provide a permanent long term solution.
These screw-like fixtures are planted in the jaw bone to support a replacement tooth and can also be used to support fixed bridges and dentures.
Would Implants be right for me?
Ideal candidates must have:
- good oral health
- sufficient amount of bone height
- a healthy gum
How is the treatment done?
The dental implant placement involves three stages:
Stage 1: The titanium implants are placed inside the jawbone by a small surgical procedure under local anesthetic and will remain covered inside the gums for about 3-6 months to allow osteointegration to take place.
Benefits:
Improved appearance: the dental implant will look like a natural tooth
Improved comfort: Implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures
Easier eating: Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat with confidence and without pain.
Improved self-esteem: Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you rebuild your confidence.
Improved oral health: Without the need to alter adjacent teeth, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health.
Durability: Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
