Dental Implants
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are tooth replacement that looks and function like a tooth. It is often first choice for replacing a single missing tooth.
Dental implant is a titanium post that is placed into the jaw onto which a porcelain crown can be attached to. The main advantage of implants are they mimic real tooth, adjacent teeth are left alone and it preserves the gums and bone.
Replacing multiple teeth
An implant-supported dental bridge is a durable, natural-looking solution for replacing several missing teeth in a row without relying on neighboring natural teeth for support. Unlike traditional bridges that require shaving down healthy adjacent teeth, or removable partial dentures that can slip, this approach uses two or more strategically placed dental implants anchored into the jawbone to hold a custom-made porcelain bridge securely in place. This setup not only restores your full chewing function and aesthetic smile, but it also stimulates the underlying bone tissue to prevent the jawbone deterioration commonly associated with tooth loss.
Implant supported denture
Are you finding difficulty chewing with your denture? Does it move when you eat? Are you avoiding eating certain foods?
Dental implants can be used to stabilise a loose denture. When there is inadequate bone and muscle control to support a more traditional denture, dental implants are the next stage in gaining the support and stability for the denture.
By placing a number of dental implants into the jaw, we can anchor and stabilise a denture. Most denture wearers are amazed with the results and comfort they gain.
