IMPLANTS

Missing Teeth? We can fix that!

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Dental implants are like the high-tech solution for missing teeth. They’re titanium posts that act as roots for artificial teeth. Think of them as the sturdy foundation that lets us build a perfect smile, whether you need a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a whole set.

Who Are Dental Implants For?

Dental implants are perfect for anyone who:

  • Is Missing One or More Teeth: Whether it’s a single tooth or several, implants are a great way to fill those gaps and restore your smile.
  • Wants a Permanent Solution: Implants are a long-lasting fix that feels and functions like natural teeth.
  • Needs a Strong Foundation: If you’ve lost bone density in your jaw, bone grafting combined with implants can bring back the strength and stability you need. Our Process:

What is our Process?

  1. Implant Placement:
    The Setup: We start with a thorough consultation and X-rays to plan your implant procedure. We’ll chat about your options and whatto expect.
    Surgical Placement: Under local anaesthesia (you’ll be completely comfortable), we place the titanium implant into your jawbone. This acts as a new root for your future tooth.
  2. Bone Grafting (If Needed):
    Building the Base: If your jawbone needs a little help to support the implant, we’ll perform a bone grafting procedure. This adds the necessary volume and strength to make sure your implant has a solid foundation.
  3. Healing Period:
    Let It Settle: After placement, we’ll give you time to heal and allow the implant to integrate with your bone. This usually takes a few months, during which you’ll have a temporary solution to keep your smile intact.
  4. Implant Crown:
    Custom Fit: Once your implant has fully integrated, we’ll create a custom crown to place on top. This crown matches your natural teeth, restoring function and aesthetics. We’ll fit it precisely and make sure you leave with a smile that’s both beautiful and functional.

FAQs

Does getting an implant hurt?

Not with us! We use local anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. You might feel some mild discomfort afterward, but it’s easily manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

How long does the process take?

The whole implant process usually involves several stages over a few months. The initial placement takes approximately 1 hour, bone grafting (if needed) adds a few extra months for healing, and the final crown placement takes another visit.

How do I care for my implants?

Treat them like your natural teeth! Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will keep your implants and your smile looking and feeling great.

Are implants a good option for everyone?

Most people are candidates for implants, but we’ll assess your overall oral health and bone density to ensure they’re the right fit for you. Bone grafting can help if you need extra support.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. They’re designed to be durable and resilient, providing a long-term solution for missing teeth.
