Dental Implant

Our dental team implants teeth within the bone, making them structurally identical to their natural counterparts. This can protect your jaw bones, maintain tooth alignment, and avoid facial drooping or asymmetry. Dental implants offer a durable and reliable solution for missing teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits.

We use Straumann SL Active implants, which are not only some of the highest quality implants on the market but also one of the dental implant systems offering one of the shortest treatment times. With a 98.2% success rate over a 10-year period, these implants provide long-lasting results and ensure your new dental implants serve you well for many years to come.

Why might you need dental implant treatment?

If you’ve lost a tooth due to disease or injury, you may experience problems such as speech difficulties, rapid bone loss, or discomfort while eating. A dental implant can restore your ability to speak and chew with ease, while also enhancing your smile. If traditional dentures or bridges are not suitable for you due to insufficient support from your gums or teeth, dental implants are an excellent alternative. Dental implants also help preserve the structure of your jawbone, preventing further complications.

What is the dental implant process?

The dental implant process involves several key steps. First, your dentist will assess your overall oral health and may take X-rays or 3D scans to create a treatment plan. If necessary, the damaged or missing tooth will be removed, and the jawbone will be prepared for the implant. In some cases, a bone graft may be needed if there has been significant bone loss.

During the main procedure, a small titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a replacement for the natural tooth root. Over the next few months, the bone will naturally fuse with the implant, a process called osseointegration, providing a stable foundation. Once the implant is secure, an abutment is placed on top, followed by a custom-made crown that mimics the appearance and function of a natural tooth.

The result is a natural-looking and fully functional tooth that integrates seamlessly with your smile. Throughout the process, your dentist will monitor your progress, ensuring proper healing and making adjustments as needed to ensure the best possible outcome.

Advantages include:

• High-quality implants that mimic natural teeth.
• Maximum flexibility in restoring missing teeth, whether it's a single tooth or full arch restoration.
• Reduction in surgical time with the use of advanced implant technology.
• Lower risk of infection due to careful surgical planning and advanced materials.

How it works

• Preparation

  The dentist will evaluate your oral health and take necessary X-rays or 3D scans. If required, a bone graft or other preparations will be done to ensure there’s enough healthy bone for the implant to fuse with.

• Process

  During the surgical procedure, the titanium post is placed into the jawbone where the missing tooth used to be. This post will serve as the root for your new tooth. The area is carefully stitched up, and the healing process begins.

• Treatment

  After the implant has integrated with the bone (usually 3-6 months), the abutment is placed, and a custom-made crown is secured on top. This final restoration provides a functional and natural-looking tooth that blends seamlessly with your smile.
