Dental Implants

What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are advanced prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth.  Most dental implants are titanium, and titanium are safe and biocompatible, which acts as a replacement root for a custom-made crown that sits on top. This innovative solution restores both function and appearance, enabling you to enjoy a full range of activities, from eating your favorite foods to smiling confidently.

Benefits of dental implants 

Dental implants offer a wide range of advantages. They can:
* Improve speech and chewing ability.
* Enhance the appearance of your smile.
* Secure permanent or removable bridges and dentures.
* Provide teeth replacement without altering (shaving down) your neighboring teeth.
* Dental implant minimise natural alveolar bone resorption.

The Implant Procedure

1. Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation, including digital imaging and a review of your medical history. This helps us tailor the treatment plan to your specific needs 
2. Implant Placement: Under local anesthesia, we place the titanium post into the jawbone. This procedure is minimally invasive and typically involves just a small incision in the gum. 
3. Osseointegration: After the post is placed, a healing period of several months is necessary for the implant to fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable foundation for the artificial tooth.
4. Abutment Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, we attach an abutment to the implant. This connector will hold the final restoration securely in place.
5. Final Restoration: The final step involves crafting and fitting the custom crown or bridge, designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. We ensure that the restoration not only looks natural but also feels comfortable and functional.
