Dental Implants

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer several significant advantages over other tooth replacement options like dentures or bridges:

• Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to match your natural teeth in shape, size, and colour, making them virtually indistinguishable from your surrounding teeth.
• Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last for many years—often a lifetime. The titanium material used for the implant is extremely strong and resistant to decay.
• Enhanced Functionality: Implants restore the full functionality of your teeth, making it easier to speak, eat, and chew comfortably. Unlike dentures, implants don’t shift or slip, so you can enjoy your favourite foods without worry.
• Jawbone Health: One of the key benefits of dental implants is that they help maintain the health of your jawbone. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone can begin to deteriorate over time. Implants stimulate the bone, helping to prevent bone loss and preserve your facial structure.
• Improved Confidence: With dental implants, you no longer have to worry about gaps in your smile. The restoration allows you to speak clearly and smile confidently in social situations.

The Dental Implant Procedure

The process of getting a dental implant is a multi-step procedure that typically involves the following stages:

1. Consultation and Treatment Planning: The first step is to schedule a consultation with our skilled dental team. We will evaluate your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your goals to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you.
2. Placement of the Implant: If you’re a good candidate, we will place the titanium implant into your jawbone. This procedure is typically done under local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort. After placement, you will need time for the implant to fuse with the bone (osseointegration), which usually takes a few months.
3. Restoration: Once the implant has integrated with the bone, we will place a custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture on top of the implant to complete the restoration. This will match the appearance of your natural teeth and provide optimal functionality.

Dental implants can be an excellent option for anyone who is missing one or more teeth and has sufficient bone structure to support the implant. However, each patient’s needs are unique.
