Dental Implants

This not only restores your teeth back in shape but also aligns the movement of your mouth, thus improving bite and speech functions.

The Dental Implants Procedure

A detailed consultation is first conducted where your dental health is evaluated through X-rays or 3D imaging to find any damaged tooth to be extracted, and to assess the jawbone. Should the bone be too soft or not thick enough, a bone graft may be necessary to create a solid foundation for the implant. Once your jaw is ready, the implant—a titanium post—is inserted into the bone socket where the tooth once was.

The next phase is where the jawbone is left to heal and grow around the implant over the span of weeks to months, solidifying the base for your new tooth. After the implant has integrated and the gums have healed, an abutment is placed to hold the artificial tooth.

Finally, an impression of your teeth is made to craft the crown to be fixed onto the abutment. This artificial tooth is what blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, both in function and appearance, completing the transformation and leaving you with a durable and long-term solution for a missing tooth.

How long do the implants usually last?

Dental implants are designed for longevity, often enduring a lifetime when maintained with diligent oral hygiene. Just like natural teeth, they necessitate consistent care, encompassing regular brushing, flossing, and routine visits to the dentist for check-ups and cleanings.

Will the procedure hurt?

Many patients report minimal discomfort associated with the dental implant procedure. Surgeons typically administer local anaesthesia, which makes the experience painless. In fact, the consensus among patients is that getting implants is less painful than having a tooth pulled.

Can anyone get dental implants?

The best candidates for dental implants are those with robust oral health. It's essential to have sufficient jawbone to anchor the implant securely, and optimal candidates will have gums free from periodontal disease.

How do I care for them following the procedure?

Caring for teeth restored with dental implants is just like caring for your natural teeth: brush, floss, and maintain regular dental cleanings and exams. Although implant teeth will not decay, the gum tissues around them can become inflamed without proper hygiene.
