Why Choose Us

Implants are one way of replacing missing teeth.

Unlike normal replacement teeth, dental implants are mounted onto posts which are inserted into the jaw during surgery.


What Are The Benefits

Some people cant use removable dentures. Implants can be a last chance for eating and speaking properly and for improving appearance. Implants can keep a denture very stable. People will not be able to see that your teeth are supported implants.


Are Implants For Me

You should discuss with your dentist whether implants would be right for you.

Patients need to have healthy gums, and enough jawbone totake the posts and support the replacement teeth. They must also be prepared to maintain good mouth hygiene and visit the dentist regularly.

Implant patients need to be in good general health, because of the surgery needed. Some chronic diseases, such as diabetes, osteoporosis or chronic sinus problems, could interfere with healing and make implants more likely to fail. Make sure that you tell your dentist about any medicines that you take regularly, and your smoking habits.

Implants involve undergoing surgery twice or more over a period of serveral months.

Since they are a complicated form of treatment, implants can be expensive.


What Will My Dentist Do

Your dentist should tell you about the stages of treatment, who would carry out each stage and the timetable for completing treatment. You might be referred to a specialist.

* Bone is exposed in the jaw where the tooth is missing. Then a hole is drilled and a metal post is inserted into the bone. This is usaully done under a local anaesthetic, but sometimes sedation or a general anaesthetic is used. The gum is then stitched over the post and its left to heal for several months, until the bone has grown around the post, making it secure.

* A second operation then happens, inwhich placement teeth are mounted onto the implant. This requires a small cut in the gum above the implant. The replacement teeth might be single or in a group, and possibly as a bridge, attached to neighbouring natural teeth. They may be fixed permanently or attached in a way that lets you remove them for cleaning.
