A Lasting Solution for Missing Teeth
Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth. They offer a durable and natural-looking alternative to traditional options like dentures or bridges.
The Dental Implant Process
The dental implant process typically involves several stages:
- Consultation and Examination: A thorough examination will be conducted to determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants.
- Treatment Planning: A personalised treatment plan will be created based on your individual needs and goals.
- Surgical Placement: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone.
- Osseointegration: The implant fuses with the jawbone, typically taking several months.
- Abutment Placement: An abutment is placed on top of the implant to connect it to the crown, bridge, or denture.
- Restoration: The final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) is created and attached to the abutment.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant to replace the missing tooth.
