IMPLANTS

Dental implants are tiny titanium cylinders which are permanently implanted into the jawbone to replace roots of single or multiple missing teeth. These anchors act as tooth root substitutes. After a period of time the bone bonds with titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth bonds. Small posts are then attached to the implants which protrude through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for natural-looking replacement teeth.

Dental implants can also be used to help stabilize or support dental bridge or removable dentures. In all cases, dental implants result in a significant improvement in your quality of life. They look, feel and function like natural teeth. When used in conjunction with modern restorative dentistry, their appearance, comfort and function are very likely to exceed your expectations.

Implantation surgery is done with the local anaesthesia which makes it totally painless and last up to an hour. Having on offer a full range of Implant Systems available on the market we are able to find a solution to each and every complex case.

Treatment plan involving dental implants is preceded by a consultation to give precise diagnosing. The plan is unique for each individual and accordingly the timing, cost and delivery of care will be customized to suit personal needs.

Dentists always strive to save every tooth possible before its extraction. A healthy restored tooth is far better than an artificial one. Even the most broken and badly decayed teeth can be built up again.

The Benefits of Dental Implants:

Solution for Life - Dental implants offer a long lasting solution. Normally, it serves its owner for life.

Preserve Healthy Teeth - Implants can stand on their own. They do not require the assistance of your natural teeth for support. Partial dentures and fixed bridges require some degree of 'preparation' of the adjacent natural teeth. As mentioned above, the latter can involve grinding your teeth down to little pegs in order to attach the bridge. Even this may not ensure stability if the supporting teeth are loose or weak.

Preserve Bone - Healthy implants can preserve bone just like your own healthy natural teeth. No other option offers this. In fact, wearing dentures can accelerate bone loss, making the dentures less stable and more uncomfortable over time.

Preserve Facial Looks - When you loose the entire tooth crown and root shrinkage of the jaw bone may cause your face to look older. Dental implants can stop this process.

Improve Comfort - Implants can be more comfortable than full or partial dentures. Dentures are supported either by soft gum tissues that cover the jawbones and/or by teeth. Over time, these structures can change and teeth can become loose, resulting in pain and discomfort. These unfortunate side effects are avoided with implants since they do not rely on the jawbones/teeth for support.

Improve Speech - Unlike implants dentures shift inside your mouth causing mumbles, slurred speech and clicking noises. These problems can be eliminated with implants. Implant-supported replacement can securely anchor loose dentures that impede speech and enable you to speak with comfort and confidence.

Improve the Ability to Eat - Every denture wearer has to learn how to eat with dentures. They are never like your own teeth. Typical denture patients with excellent fitting dentures eat at 15 to 20 percent of the efficiency of people with natural teeth. Some people never get used to the discomfort and loss of taste and function associated with them. Implants, on the other hand, can restore your chewing efficiency to that of your natural teeth, since they are anchored to your jawbone. Implants can also improve taste by allowing you to have a full upper denture without covering your palate.

Improve Aesthetics - Implants can eliminate the need for the unsightly clasps that come with partial dentures. And since they don not rely on the adjacent teeth for support, they may eliminate the need for additional crowns, which sometimes have the side effect of damaging the appearance of your natural tooth.

Improve Quality of Life - Implants can eliminate the need for messy denture adhesives, special time-consuming oral hygiene techniques to clean around bridges, and other embarrassing inconveniences that come with dentures. Furthermore, considering all of the above benefits, implants can improve your self-esteem. By allowing you to regain the capabilities of your natural teeth, you can focus on enjoying life.

Keep Teeth Separate - Ideal implant placement allows treatment to be isolated to individual teeth. When one tooth of a bridge needs treatment, usually the whole bridge needs replacement. But now that implants are available, adjacent teeth do not need to be treated.

Reduce Long-Term Costs - With all of the benefits mentioned so far, the higher initial cost of implants and their restorations is usually offset in the long term by their high success rates, low maintenance, ability to keep treatment isolated to specific areas, and high patient satisfaction.
