Advantages of Dental Implants
Appearance
Dental implants are one of the best ways to create a natural look a feel of your original teeth.
Comfort
Dental implants are incredibly comfortable to live with because they are actually apart of you and are installed into your jaw. They don’t move around and stay in place unlike dentures or clip in veneers.
Improved Self Esteem
Dental implants have the power to give you back your confidence and give you the smile you’ve always wanted!
Improved Oral Health
Dental implants don’t require any alterations to any of your other teeth. In fact your implants are altered around your original teeth so there’s no need for filing down or removal of your current teeth.
Lasts Longer
Implants last much longer than any other options. If they are looked after correctly they can last a lifetime.
Once Stop
Once your implants are installed they usually don’t require anymore work. It is advised you still go for checkups to make sure your teeth and gums are still healthy.
Single dental implant
Dental implants are one of the most effective ways of replacing a broken tooth or multiple teeth at the same time. They are a great alternative to crowns or veneers. They are also much more secure than dentures and they are directly implanted into your jaw.
An implant is made up of an artificial titanium root that is fixed to the jawbone, with a crown or bridge fitted on top. They can be made to look and feel just like natural teeth. Implants also safeguard your overall dental health as replacing missing teeth is extremely important to prevent any bone loss or other complications associated with missing teeth.
A single dental implant is the most functional secure replacement for a missing tooth, allowing you to eat, smile and laugh with confidence. A single titanium implant is placed into the jaw, as the replacement root. It’s a straightforward process which can be completed under local anaesthetic.
Multiple implants
Each missing tooth does not necessarily require an individual implant to replace it. Often a more stable and cost-effective approach is to place an implant at either end of the ‘tooth gap’ and bridge across the implants with a dental bridge. The chewing function is then restored with a minimum number of implants. Traditional bridge treatments require dentist to file down the neighbouring healthy teeth, in order to attach the bridge in place. Dental implant technology alleviates the need to damage these healthy teeth, instead anchoring your bridge to implants, bonded with your jaw.
Implant secured denture
With advances in implant dentistry, we have many innovative techniques for denture stabilisation which can transform your comfort, self-esteem and self-confidence with implant secured dentures. Depending on the treatment, you may need between four and eight implants to secure each denture in place. It’s a straightforward process which can be completed under local anaesthetic and will require three to six months to heal and bond with your jaw bone to provide a solid support for your replacement teeth.
