Dental Implants

Dental implants offer a state-of-the-art solution for patients looking to restore both the beauty and function of their smiles. These advanced restorations go beyond aesthetics - they replace missing teeth from root to crown, ensuring unmatched stability and longevity. The process involves surgically placing biocompatible titanium implants into the jawbone, where they fuse naturally through osseointegration, creating a strong foundation for custom-designed crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures. With their ability to preserve bone structure and provide a natural look and feel, dental implants are the ultimate long-term investment in your oral health and confidence.

  • Dental implants are ideal for those with missing or failing teeth and sufficient jawbone density, though bone grafting may be an option. They provide a long-term, natural-looking solution that restores function and aesthetics, making them a superior alternative to dentures or bridges. Good oral health, proper hygiene, and a consultation with a prosthodontic specialist are key to ensuring implant success.

  • Dental implants are designed to be a long-term, even lifetime solution with proper care. The implant post, which integrates with the jawbone, can last a lifetime, while the crown typically lasts 10-15 years before needing replacement due to normal wear. Maintaining good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and a healthy lifestyle are essential for maximizing the longevity of your dental implants.

  • The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, making it virtually painless. Some mild discomfort or swelling may occur after surgery, but this is temporary and manageable with medication.

FAQs

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They are permanent restorative appliances that provide tooth replacement and improve your ability to chew, speak and smile with confidence.

Dental implants appear to be real because they fuse solidly to the jawbone. An implant's position under the gums is the same as natural teeth, meaning that you can floss normally around them. They even move just like your other teeth.

How do Dental Implants Work?

A dental implant is a titanium screw that’s placed directly into your jawbone, replacing your missing tooth root.

After it’s fitted, the bone surrounding your implant will gradually fuse to it, holding the implant firmly in place.

A crown is then matched to either your natural tooth or veneers (if applicable). It is then fitted to the top of the implant, leaving you with a fixed solution and a natural looking smile.

Who needs them?

They are typically used in treating people who have lost one or more teeth due to decay, injury, or periodontal (gum) disease.Dental implants are necessary when you have missing teeth, but either cannot or do not want to get dentures, bridges or crowns.

It is important to replace a lost tooth, as the consequences of removing/losing a tooth and doing nothing can grow into much larger problems as time goes on.
