Dental Implants

Do you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth?

A dental implant is a natural looking artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge - in fact the end result is a toogh that will look and feel just like your own. They are are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost one or more teeth but still want to smile with comfort and confidence.

Eating, talking, smiling, and feeling confident are all made easier with dental implants.

 

What are Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are most commonly small titanium screws that are fixed into the jawbone, which in effect, acts like the root of a natural tooth. Surrounding bone and gum tissue then grows around the anchor, after which an even smaller titanium extension is secured to the implant and a new natural looking dental Crown (or tooth cap) is secured over the dental implant. This Dental Crown can be made of robust porcelain or ceramic and will be professionally matched to the colour of your natural teeth.

Dental Implants can look, feel and be as robust as your natural teeth !

 

Teeth That Look and Feel Like Your Own - it's like having your real teeth back

What Dental Implants Can Do?

  • Replace one or more teeth without affecting bordering teeth.
  • Support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture.
  • Provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable.

 

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

In order to support the implant, there needs to be adequate bone in the mouth so candidates will need to be in good oral health. Dental implants work best with patients who have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease.

 

 

Advantages of Dental Implants over Dentures or a Bridge

Reliable -   The success rate of dental implants is excellent making them an obvious choice for tooth replacement.

Aesthetic -   No one will ever know that you have a replacement tooth. Since dental implants integrate into the structure of your bone, they prevent the bone loss and gum recession that often accompany bridgework and dentures.

Tooth-saving   Dental implants don't sacrifice the quality of your adjacent teeth like a bridge does because neighboring teeth are not altered to support the implant.

Confidence -   Dental implants will allow you to smile, speak and eat with comfort and confidence! Dental Implants offer freedom from the irksome clicks and wobbles of dentures. They'll allow you to say goodbye to worries about misplaced dentures and messy pastes and glues.
