Dental Implants

Discover the Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are an excellent option for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or partials, they provide a secure fit without the worry of slipping or sliding. Care for dental implants is simple - just maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine.

Additionally, unlike traditional bridges, dental implants don't require altering your healthy teeth. In fact, implants can even support bridges, minimising the need for modifications during more complex restorations. 

All surgical or invasive procedures come with inherent risks. We recommend consulting a qualified healthcare professional for a second opinion before proceeding.

For many individuals, missing teeth may seem like a cosmetic issue, and it's understandable to feel this way. However, the implications extend far beyond appearance.

Gaps in your smile can place added stress on your remaining teeth, increasing the risk of damage, fractures, and further tooth loss. Additionally, missing teeth can make it difficult or painful to enjoy the nutritious foods essential for your overall health.

A more serious concern is that one or more missing teeth can lead to significant bone loss in your jaw over time. When teeth are absent, the jawbone can weaken from lack of stimulation, resulting in visible changes to your facial structure and an older appearance. 

How Dental Implants Can Help 

Dental implants can effectively halt this process, providing a stable and long-lasting solution. 

Most healthy adults are suitable candidates fir dental implants; however, certain health conditions may affect their success.

During your consultation, we'll ask you a series of questions about your health history. This information is crucial in determining if dental implants are right for you.

Even if you have health concerns, we often can still accommodate your needs with the right precautions in place. Your health and comfort are our top priorities! 

Before starting the dental implant procedure, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including X-rays. Since the implant is anchored directly to your jawbone, it's essential to assess its condition. If needed, you may be a candidate for grafting or other procedures to enhance your jawbone.

Once we determine that you're ready, we'll place the titanium screws for your implants. After sufficient healing, you'll receive a temporary crown while we wait for your permanent crown to be crafted in the dental lab. When your permanent crown is ready, you'll return to our clinic for placement. We'll ensure that it fits perfectly and looks natural, completing your implant process,
