Service description
A missing tooth isn’t just a cosmetic problem. The gaps created by missing teeth can compromise your ability to eat and speak correctly, invite infection and allow adjacent teeth to shift. Dental implants are a superb solution for our patients who are missing one or more teeth and would like worry-free restorations.
Dental implants consist of a titanium root structure that is fitted into the jawbone while the patient is numbed through the use of local anesthetic. Patients will only feel slight pressure from the procedure and should not experience pain. The bone and gum form a bond with the synthetic root, helping it remain in place. Once this occurs, a fake tooth can be screwed into the root structure, forming a complete tooth that can be used for all regular activities.
We recommends dental implants to
- Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth
- Replace congenitally missing teeth
- Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting
- Restore a patient’s confident smile
- Restore chewing, digestion and speech
- Support a bridge or denture, making it more secure and comfortable
- Preserve the jawbone to prevent bone loss and the look of premature agin
Benefits of the treatment
- They are fixed in the mouth and don’t have to be removed at night, making them far more comfortable for the patient.
- A dental implant only replaces the missing tooth and no healthy teeth have to be reduced down, unlike dental bridges. This is a major advantage.
- They feel natural. Teeth made on dental implants do not look artificial and resemble natural teeth. Patients have reported a very high level of satisfaction with the appearance and comfort of teeth on dental implants.
- They are as efficient as natural teeth for chewing food.
- They can be maintained the same way as normal teeth, with regular tooth brushing and flossing.
- They help reduce bone loss. When a tooth is missing in the jaw, the bone which was surrounding the missing tooth starts to shrink because of lack of function. Placement of dental implants helps to greatly retard this bone loss.
