Dental Implants

Dental implants are state-of-the-art tooth replacement options that provide a more definitive and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. They consist of titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. These posts serve as a sturdy foundation for attaching custom-made dental crowns, bridges, or even full dentures, depending on your specific needs.

What are Dental Implants

Dental implants are an excellent solution for people who have permanently lost a single tooth, many teeth or for those who use dentures. Made of materials that are compatible with human bone and tissue, dental implants provide artificial teeth that look natural and feel secure. They can also be used to attach full or partial dentures.

Dental implants offer many advantages over conventional dentures and bridges, which are often uncomfortable and, due to slippages and clicks, limit a person’s ability to speak and eat normally. As a result, many people feel self-conscious wearing their dentures.

Reasons to have implants

Replacing missing teeth with a fixed option - that won’t move or loosen and have the same look, feel and function of your natural teeth.

Restoring normal chewing and speaking functions.

Eliminating irritated and painful gums, as well as damaging pressure on remaining natural teeth caused by dentures.

Helping to stop the progressive bone loss and shrinkage of your jawbone by “mimicking” the roots of natural teeth.

Dental Implants for Tooth Replacement

Your teeth are designed to last a lifetime, but sometimes they don’t! Replacing missing teeth is important to your general health and to the health of your other teeth. Not only do you lose chewing ability when a tooth is lost, but missing teeth that aren't replaced can cause other teeth to be lost, tipped or crowded and create subsequent problems.

Also, there are obvious problems of poor appearance and loss of self-esteem caused by one or more missing teeth. Dental implants should always be considered as an option to replace a failing or missing tooth.

Replacement of lost teeth with dental implants has been used for treating missing teeth for more than 50 years and is recognised as an effective treatment choice. Treatment is considered more predictable than dentures, bridges and root canal treatment.

Benefits of Implants

Still unsure about whether implants are right for you? We have looked at the benefits of opting for implants over other tooth replacement methods. These include:

Convenience

Dental implants or implant supported dentures don’t have to be removed. No more inconvenience of removing your dentures every night. And no more messy adhesives to hold them in place. Dental implants are as convenient as having your own teeth.

Dental implants improve your smile

Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is can be very important for restoring function and aesthetics, especially for front teeth. Whereas, a bridge or partial denture does not protect against bone loss and can cause a visible bone defect, a dental implant prevents bone loss and gives a natural appearance.
