Dental Implants
Need to replace a missing tooth? Or searching for the most natural-looking false teeth?
A dental implant looks and works naturally to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. They are a fixed, non-removable option, that doesn’t rely on the other teeth around it. For this reason, an implant is the gold standard when it comes to replacing a missing tooth and is a long-term treatment option that stands the test of time.
Why they matter:
A dental implant is made of materials that are strong but also highly compatible with the human body, such as titanium. Implants have been used for decades in upper and lower jaws and can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or even support partial or full dentures. Dental implants are the most natural-looking restoration option for missing teeth which are also why they’re a great alternative to dentures.
What to expect:
Meet and greet
We’ll get to know you as the patient and get up to speed on any relevant medical information.
Examination
Here we’ll check inside the mouth and out (looking for any signs of decay, gum disease, lumps, bumps or growth, cracks, cavities, potential conditions that may flare undiagnosed issues).
Dental implant
We’ll insert an artificial titanium root below the gum, which cannot be seen and a crown above the gum, connected to the implant body by a collar. This is a long-term treatment option.
Oral hygiene tips + digital scans if required
You’ll walk away with an understanding on the next steps and an overview of the results of any photographs, digital colour model scans, or digital X-rays undertaken.
