Dental Implants
This is known as screw-in teeth, dental implants replace missing teeth via the placement of a small titanium insert into the jawbone, providing a foundation for crowns, bridges and dentures much like a natural tooth root would. In a nutshell, dental implants are your third set of teeth.
Dental implants look, feel and function like your natural teeth. They can be used to replace single teeth, several teeth or even a complete jaw. They’re also used to stabilise dentures from moving. The benefits of dental implants over conventional methods of tooth replacement include the preservation of the gum and the supporting bone. They also help distribute force over your remaining teeth, lengthening their lifespan.
Benefits of dental implants
Comfortable alternative to dentures
Stabilise wobbly dentures or even replace them entirely with dental implants, providing unmatched comfort. Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, in effect becoming part of it. You’ll never need to use adhesives again. Sculpted to your individual needs, dental implants look and feel natural.
Can last a lifetime
With proper care, dental implants are the permanent solution to missing teeth because they integrate with the bone. Alternatives such as traditional bridges and dentures are not nearly as stable, will need to be replaced after less than 10 years, and cost more to maintain. Also, implants help distribute force over your remaining teeth, lengthening their lifespan, whereas traditional bridgework requires damaging adjacent teeth.
Chew your food with ease
The new titanium tooth root provided by the implant is very strong and stable, allowing you to eat normally – enjoy the feeling of biting into your meals once again!
