A stronger and more permanent solution to missing teeth.
Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth. Unlike conventional dental bridges, they are a single titanium post used to replace the root of a tooth and then attached to a crown above your gumline, meaning your neighbouring teeth will not affected at all. They are permanently fixed to the jaw and gums of the mouth, restoring function and aesthetics, and they look and feel just like a real tooth.
With the advances in materials and placement of dental implants, they are becoming increasing popular in restoring the confidence and comfort of your natural teeth.
Our dentists will evaluate and thoroughly examine the site for implant placement. Special 3D X-rays will need to be taken to evaluate the quality of the bone in which the implant is placed. If suitable, two appointments are needed to complete the procedure. The first one is to place the implant, and the second appointment in 3-6 months time to fix the crown (artificial tooth). The timing in between the two visits is essential for healing and fusion between the implant and the bone, a process known as osseointegration. Temporary dentures may be made in the meantime so there is no disruption to your daily life.
