Dental Implants
Dental tooth implants are one of our most effective restorative treatments. If you need to replace a missing tooth and would prefer a more permanent alternative, a visit to our implant dentist will provide you with the solution you need to reclaim your quality of life, your smile and your self-esteem.
The loss of a tooth could be caused from many different reasons; tooth decay, infection, gum disease, trauma, or removal of an impacted tooth.
A single dental implant is the most functional secure replacement for a missing tooth, allowing you to eat, smile and laugh with confidence.
Single Dental Implant Treatment
Your dentist will place a single titanium implant into the jaw, as the replacement root. It’s a straightforward process which can be completed under local anaesthetic. The implant may need between three and six months to heal and integrate with your jaw bone to provide a solid support for your replacement tooth.
A temporary crown may be fitted at the same time as your implant placement, which will stay in place until the final restoration appointment.
Once your jaw has healed, an abutment will be fixed to the implant to hold your replacement tooth (crown) in place. Abutments are produced in titanium, gold or porcelain, and can come as a standard fit or crafted specifically for you. These options offer a range of aesthetics results, depending on your requirements.
A crown is then fitted on top, to replace your missing tooth. Your dentist will carefully match the colour of your crown to your natural teeth. Don’t worry, your secret is safe with us.
