New Teeth, life the way it used to be!
Now available at our practice... Dental Implants
The successful replacement of missing natural teeth with ‘artificial teeth’ surgically inserted into the jawbone, has revolutionised dental treatment. As a result, dental or tooth implants have substantially increased the beneficial impact of dentistry on the quality of the lives of patients who receive the treatment. Now patients suffering the cosmetic embarrassment of unreplaced missing teeth or the discomfort and in convenience of loose and ill-fitting dental appliances can be successfully treated with a measure of permanence and reliability generally unknown before the implementation of dental implants. These patients can smile again with assurance and confidence.
Dental implants can be successfully employed to replace a single tooth or a number of missing teeth. Multiple implants are also used effectively to add stability and retention to dentures and other types of fixed and removable appliances.
Dental Implant treatment can be provided with sedation for nervous patients.
Dental implants
offer a permanent solution for your
missing teeth.
A dental implant is essentially a substitute for
a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder
shaped. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled
at the precise location of the intended tooth.
Often
the implant can be placed at the same time as removal
of the tooth all on the same day.
If an implant has a screw-thread on its outer surface
it can be screwed into position and if it does not,
it is usually tapped into place.
The main aim during installation of any implant
is to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding
bone.
This creates an initial stability, which over
time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone
into microscopic roughnesses on the implant surface.
In order to support replacement teeth, dental implants
normally have some form of internal screw thread
or post space that allows a variety of components
to be fitted.
Once fitted, these components provide the foundation
for long-term support of crowns, bridges or dentures.
