Implant Dentistry
Dental implants are the most
modern way to permanently replace one or more missing teeth.
This technique has been developed and perfected over
the last 40 years to produce reliable and long lasting solutions
to tooth loss. A titanium implant is surgically placed
in the jawbone and is used to anchor the replacement tooth.
After 4-6 months of healing, the bone actually grows on to
and integrated with the surface of the implant.
Implant
dentistry has a number of applications, including the
replacement of single or multiple missing teeth. They are even used to firmly anchor loose
dentures and restore aesthetics and chewing function. Although
the treatment may take some months to complete, the results
of this exciting method of permanent tooth replacement look,
feel and function just like natural teeth, and more than justify
the commitment. The first step to having dental implants
is to assess if you are a suitable candidate. This
involves an examination and some simple tests, as some medical
and dental conditions preclude their use.
