Implants & Prosthetics

types

A missing tooth is more than just a gap in a smile; it can impact your ability to chew, affect your speech, and lead to the shifting of surrounding teeth. We provide state-of-the-art dental implants and prosthetic solutions that look, feel, and function exactly like your natural teeth.

What are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a sophisticated surgical fixture—essentially a medical-grade titanium post—that acts as a replacement for a missing tooth root. Once placed into the jawbone, it undergoes a process called “osseointegration,” where it fuses with the bone to create a rock-solid foundation for a custom-made ceramic crown.

Why Choose Implants Over Traditional Options?

Dental implants are considered the “gold standard” for tooth replacement because of their unique benefits:

  • Protect Healthy Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, implants do not require the grinding down of adjacent healthy teeth for support.

  • Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs when a tooth is missing.

  • Superior Stability: Implants eliminate the need for removable dentures, providing a stable, permanent solution that won’t slip or click.

  • Versatility: They can be used to replace a single tooth or serve as anchors for bridges and full-mouth prostheses.

The Modern “Keyhole” Surgical Process

Thanks to advanced technology, dental implant surgery is now a minimally invasive, virtually painless “keyhole” procedure.

  • Same-Day Results: If you have high-quality bone and healthy gums, we can often perform the procedure on the same day. If additional healing time is needed, a temporary tooth is inserted so you never have to leave our clinic with a gap.

  • 3D Precision: We use 3D jawbone scans to plan the exact placement of the implant, ensuring maximum safety and success even for patients who have previously lost bone density due to long-term denture use.

  • Comfort First: Using local anesthesia, discomfort is kept to an absolute minimum. Most patients find that any post-operative tenderness is easily managed with standard painkillers for just a few days.

Is a Dental Implant Right for You?

One of the best things about modern implants is that they are age-inclusive. Whether you are replacing a tooth lost to injury or age, implants are a viable option.

  • Medical Considerations: Patients with controlled Type II diabetes or those requiring gum stabilization can successfully undergo implant surgery.

  • Success Factors: To ensure long-term success, we work with you to manage factors like gum health and immune system support.

Long-Term Care for Lasting Results

Just like natural teeth, implants require excellent oral hygiene. With regular brushing, flossing, and professional check-ups every six months, your dental implant can last a lifetime.
