What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone, replacing the roots of missing teeth. Once healed, they provide a solid foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures – restoring your bite, your smile and your confidence.

Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants help preserve jawbone health, maintain facial structure and offer a permanent solution that looks and feels like real teeth.

Why might I need dental implants?

There are several reasons why you might consider dental implants:

Tooth loss

Tooth loss can result from various factors, including gum disease, tooth decay, accidents, or injuries.

Dental implants provide a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring both the function and aesthetics of your smile.

Preventing bone loss

Without tooth roots to stimulate it, the jawbone can start to resorb or shrink over time.

Dental implants help prevent this bone loss, preserving the natural contours of your face and ensuring the stability of your new teeth.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Dental implants offer a range of benefits, making them a compelling choice for tooth replacement:

Natural look and feel: Implants look and feel like your natural teeth. They blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing a natural and confident smile.
Stability and durability: The titanium implants fuse with your jawbone, creating a stable and long-lasting foundation for your new teeth. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Improved functionality: Implants restore full functionality to your mouth, allowing you to eat, speak and laugh with confidence. There’s no worry about dentures slipping or discomfort.
Preventing further complications: Replacing missing teeth with dental implants helps maintain your overall dental and general health by preventing complications that can arise from tooth loss.

The dental implant procedure

The dental implant process involves several key steps:

The assessment

During your initial consultation, our experienced implant dentist, Dr Wilson, will assess your suitability for treatment. This includes evaluating your bone density to determine if any additional procedures, such as bone grafting, are necessary to rebuild your jawbone before implant placement.

The treatment

The placement of dental implants is a meticulously planned procedure, carried out by our skilled implant surgeon. Depending on your unique case, some patients can have their permanent new teeth attached on the same day as implant placement, while others may require a healing period of a few months.

The restoration process

Once the implants have fully integrated with your jawbone, the final restoration process takes place.

Your dental implants and the new teeth attached to them will look and function just like natural teeth. You’ll be able to smile, laugh, eat and speak with confidence, knowing your new smile is secure and reliable.
