DENTAL IMPLANTS

Repairing + Protecting Damaged Teeth

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing one or more missing teeth, providing a natural look and feel while restoring full functionality. By anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap, bridges restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. With modern materials and techniques, bridges look natural and feel secure, enhancing both the appearance and functionality of your smile.

Why Dental Implants Are Important:

Prevent Bone Loss: Missing teeth can lead to bone shrinkage over time; implants stimulate the jawbone to maintain its strength.
Restore Functionality: Implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, just like natural teeth.
Improve Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants don’t rely on neighbouring teeth, preserving their natural strength.
Durability and Longevity: With proper care, implants are a lifelong solution.

THE STEPS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE

How We Diagnose and Plan Treatment:

Before recommending implants, our dentist will conduct a thorough examination, which includes:

1. Digital X-rays or 3D Imaging: To assess your jawbone health and identify the ideal placement for the implant.

2. Gum and Bone Evaluation: To ensure your gums are healthy and there’s enough bone density to support the implant.

3. Personalized Consultation: We’ll discuss your needs, medical history, and alternative options like bridges or dentures to ensure implants are the right choice for you.

What to Expect During Treatment:

Preparation: If needed, a bone graft or gum treatment may be performed to prepare the site.
Placement: A titanium implant is surgically inserted into your jawbone. Over a few months, it fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
Attachment: Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the implant, completing your new smile.

Benefits for Patients:

Natural Appearance: The custom crown is designed to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth.
Unmatched Comfort: Implants feel like real teeth, eliminating the discomfort of removable dentures.
Confidence Restored: You can smile, laugh, and enjoy your favourite foods without worry.
Ease of Care: Implants don’t require special cleaning products—just brush and floss like normal.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

How long does the dental implant process take?
The dental implant process typically takes 3 to 6 months from start to finish. This includes the placement of the implant, the healing period (to allow the implant to fuse with the bone), and the final placement of the crown or restoration. Timelines may vary depending on your individual case and any additional treatments needed.

Are dental implants noticeable?
No, the crown is custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Are dental implants permanent?
Yes, dental implants are considered a permanent solution for missing teeth. They are designed to integrate with the bone and, with proper care, can last a lifetime. However, the crown (the visible part of the implant) may need to be replaced after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential for maintaining the longevity of dental implants.
