Dental Implants

Dental Implants offer a more permanent solution for those suffering from one or many missing teeth. Once attached and bonded to your jaw structure a crown can be affixed to an implant to restore strength, functionality and a natural appearance to your tooth.

Implants are predominantly made form titanium, a safe and biocompatible material. A dental implant is inserted into the bone of the jaw and over time, the jawbone and surrounding ligaments will bond and integrate with the implant surface, to firmly anchor it in place. Under normal circumstance this process can take around 6 weeks, after which time a crown, bridge or other restoration may be secured to the implant.

Just like natural teeth, implants require regular check-ups and conscientious oral hygiene to ensure their longevity and effectiveness. Some benefits of dental Implants include:

• Closest possible replacement to natural teeth.
• Make replacement teeth stable for eating and smiling with confidence.
• Remove the need to cut down health teeth for a bridge.
• Can eliminate the pain cause by ill-fitting dentures.
• Implants help preserve the bone and structure of the jaw, reducing the possibility of bone and gum recession.
• In some cases implants can help maintain the shape of the face, which can be distorted by extensive bone loss caused by trauma, gum disease or other medical conditions.
