Dental Implants
What is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are the gold standard when it comes to replacing missing teeth.
They look so good that it is difficult to tell the difference between a natural tooth and an implant restored tooth.
The dental implant is a titanium screw which is placed in the jawbone where the tooth or teeth are missing.
Once the implant is strong it is used to support a crown or a bridge or a denture.
They offer a durable and long-lasting option for those looking to restore their smile and oral function.
What are the Benefits of Dental Implants
Natural Appearance and Comfort.
Implants look and feel like your own teeth. Because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent.
Improved Speech
Unlike poor-fitting dentures, dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that your denture might move.
Enhanced Eating and Chewing
Dental implants function like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favourite foods with confidence and without pain.
Durability
Implants are very durable and can last many years.
Improved Oral Health
Dental implants don’t require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most people who are in good general and oral health are good candidates for dental implants. Adequate bone in your jaw is needed to support the implant, and the best candidates have healthy gum tissues free of periodontal disease. Our dentists can determine if dental implants are right for you after a thorough evaluation.
Dental implants have revolutionised the field of restorative dentistry, offering a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can significantly enhance your quality of life, restoring both functionality and confidence in your smile.
