Dental Implants
Dental implants can replace one or more missing teeth and support crowns, bridges or dentures. We assess your oral health, bone support and individual needs to determine whether implants are suitable for you.
Rebuild Your Smile with Dental Implants
There is no replacement option that is closer to your natural teeth. Implants also help preserve tooth-supporting bone that naturally deteriorates when a tooth is lost. Loss of bone is one of the major hidden consequences of losing teeth.
How Implants Work
Dental implants are titanium screws that fuse with your bone, and replace the roots of teeth. Once your dental implant is placed and integrated an impression will be taken of the top of the dental implant, and a custom-made crown, bridge or denture will be fabricated by our dental lab. You treat your dental implants just like your natural teeth. They will require excellent home care, and regular professional cleaning to remain healthy
Replace One Tooth
When you have one tooth missing, a single implant is inserted into the bone to replace the root part of that tooth; a crown then goes on top to simulate an actual tooth. This treatment choice has a very high success rate , making it the best long-term investment for replacing a single missing tooth. An implant will never decay or need root canal treatment.
Replace Multiple Teeth
When you have more than one tooth missing, implants provide an ideal replacement mechanism. You don't often need one implant for every missing tooth. Instead, implant teeth can act as supports for fixed bridgework. For example, if you are missing three teeth in a row, we can place two implants, one on either side of the gap, and a crown in between that has no implant underneath. That way, you won't need to use any of your remaining natural teeth as bridge supports, which could weaken them and make them more susceptible to decay.
Fixed Full-Arch Tooth Replacement
Implants can support an entire arch of upper or lower replacement teeth that are fixed into the mouth. Multiple implants will be needed to support a row of 10 to 12 teeth. Dental implant replacement teeth protect your jawbone, and won't slip.
Implant-Supported Removable Dentures
Implants can even make removable dentures more comfortable, effective and healthier to wear. Traditional dentures are supported by soft tissue and underlying bone. Without teeth to anchor them, dentures have a tendency to move, slip, and sometimes fall out. We can attach a removable denture onto implants, preventing the dentures from slipping while you eat and speak, and preserving the bone directly beneath them.
