Dental implants - the ultimate solution to lost teeth
Missing and damaged teeth are a common problem for many people. If you are missing your natural teeth you may find that there are other things you miss too. You may miss your natural smile or not being able to eat the food you desire. Perhaps your remaining teeth are shifting, or you suffer from muscle strain and headaches. It doesn’t have to be this way, with dental implants most people can get a natural smile that looks, feels and functions like the real thing.

Dental implants are the most modern way to permanently replace one or more missing teeth. This technique has been developed and perfected over many years to produce reliable and long lasting solutions to tooth loss.

NEW TEETH THAT ARE JUST LIKE THE REAL THING

1. Improved appearance – When teeth are lost, ongoing shrinkage of the jawbone occurs making the face look older. Dental implants can slow or stop this process.
2. Improved comfort – Eliminate the pain and discomfort of removable full or partial dentures. Since dentures sit on top of the jawbone and gums, continuous shrinkage of the jaw bone alters the fit of the denture resulting in slipping.
3. Improved speech – With ill fitting dentures, the teeth slip and slide around the mouth. The facial muscles become tense in an attempt to hold the teeth in places. This often results in mumbling, slurred speech or clicking noises. Implants allow you to speak with confidence.
4. Eat comfortably – Dental implants can restore chewing efficiency comparable to that of natural teeth. This allows you to eat your favourite foods with confidence and without pain, enjoy what everyone is eating and not think twice about it.

Your treatment

What is implant treatment?
Implant treatment is an advanced treatment that has been used successfully since the 1960’s to treat tooth loss and save people from the embarrassment of denture wearing and the problems of gum shrinkage caused by dentures which can prematurely age a person.

A dental implant acts as an artificial root for your missing tooth as the original root has now disappeared. The implant is made out of titanium which is one of the few metals that is accepted by our bodies. Once the artificial root is placed in your mouth it bonds with your jaw bone becoming strong and secure just like the real root of a tooth.

In this way the implant becomes part of you which is why many patients who have been treated with the implant method say their new implants feel just like real teeth.

Once the implant is securely fixed a crown or restoration is specially designed and crafted so that it matches the rest of your teeth which is then placed and secured on top of the implant.

The result is a tooth or teeth that are so securely anchored in your mouth that they look, feel and behave exactly the same as natural teeth.

Successful implant treatment means that your mouth will be whole again and you will no longer be reliant on false teeth and be more confident about your smile.

Implant treatment is responsible for helping ease the suffering of tooth loss in many thousands of patients every day. The treatment is reliable and effective and not only restores smiles but improves the quality of life of many of those that have known the trauma of tooth loss and despair of dentures.

Aftercare
Although dental implants will not decay, they still require impeccable care. Dental implants may be cleaned and flossed just like normal teeth and best of all they do not require any special tools to clean around them

What to expect at your initial appointment
We believe a comprehensive first examination is the best way to begin the process of obtaining a healthy, beautiful smile. In order to ensure success in our advanced implant procedures, we take the necessary time to fully and thoroughly evaluate your present dental condition. Our goal is to give our patients the necessary information and education so that they may enjoy a beautiful, healthy smile for years to come. Here is what to expect.

When you arrive, we will give you an extensive medical history form to complete, so we can have a one on one discussion covering any medical history you may have and if it will effect your treatment in any way.

The dentist will then discuss with you your dental condition and talk you through your treatment possibilities. Once a thorough and full examination has been completed we will provide you with a written report and treatment plan detailing the various options available to you and an estimate of the fee implications.

This careful evaluation of your dental condition will enable us to prepare the optimum treatment plan for your smile. Our aim will be to give you as much information as possible about the possibilities, the timings and cost of the various options that are appropriate to your treatment needs.

The difference is that we practice dentistry with the aesthetics of the final result in mind, so we place a special emphasis on making you look great.

Single tooth implant

Missing teeth can be replaced by implants. Implants act like roots of teeth. After they have been fitted and have healed in place, dentures or crowns can be attached to them. If crowns are fitted onto implants they act like natural teeth.

	This picture shows the metal implant which is screwed into the underlying bone during the insertion of the implant into the jaw.
The implant is then uncovered after a period of healing. This picture shows the top of the implant where it comes through the gum tissue.

Full mouth implants and dentures

If all your teeth are missing in the upper or lower jaw, you can choose either a full bridge supported by implants or a denture retained by implants.

A full bridge is secured onto six or more implants providing a permanent fixed solution for replacement of ill fitting dentures:

The implant supported denture is connected via attachments to two or more implants, allowing easy removal. When in place, the denture is firmly attached to the implants and there is no risk of it coming loose:

Your exact treatment depends on your individual situation and personal preference. The type and amount of bone, as well as, functional conditions will all play a role in identifying the best treatment option for you.
Whether you have a “fixed” bridge or an implant supported denture, you will be able to speak, chew and smile with confidence
