Dental Implants

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a modern treatment method used to replace missing teeth in a permanent and durable way. Acting as a natural tooth root, implants are typically made from biocompatible materials like titanium and integrate with the jawbone to create a strong foundation. Crowns, bridges, or dentures placed on top of the implant provide both aesthetic and functional solutions. Implants restore the appearance and functionality of lost teeth, significantly improving quality of life.

Who is Suitable for Dental Implants?

Ideal candidates for dental implants are individuals who have lost one or more teeth, have healthy gums, and sufficient jawbone density. This treatment is also suitable for patients in good overall health with no serious medical conditions that could negatively affect the healing process. A detailed examination and consultation with a specialist dentist will determine whether you are a good candidate for implant treatment.

Benefits of Dental Implants

The advantages of dental implants are as follows:

  • Natural Appearance and Feel: Implants closely resemble your natural teeth, delivering excellent aesthetic results.
  • Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, they can last 20 years or more.
    Jawbone Preservation: Prevents bone loss that occurs after tooth loss.
  • Comfort and Stability: Provides a fixed structure without the need for adhesives or concerns about slipping dentures.
  • Improved Chewing Function: Offers a chewing strength similar to natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy meals with ease.
 

Different Types of Dental Implant Treatments

Single-Tooth Implant
A single implant is placed to replace a missing tooth, topped with a custom crown.
Multiple-Tooth Implants
For multiple missing teeth, implant-supported bridges or individual crowns are used to restore your smile.
Full-Mouth Implants
In cases where all teeth are missing, full-mouth prosthetics are placed on implants secured in the jawbone.
All-on-4 Implants
A fixed solution using just four implants to support a full-arch prosthetic. Ideal for patients with less bone density.
All-on-6 Implants
Provides extra support with six implants, perfect for those needing stronger durability for chewing.
Zygomatic Implants
An advanced technique where implants are anchored to the cheekbone for patients with insufficient jawbone.

How Does the Dental Implant Process Work?

Dental implant treatment involves several stages:

  • Consultation and Planning: Your jawbone, teeth structure, and overall health are assessed.
  • Implant Placement: Implants are surgically placed into the jawbone.
  • Healing Period: A 3-6 month healing process allows the implant to integrate with the bone (osseointegration).
  • Abutment Placement: A connector piece is added to the implant.
  • Final Restoration: The crown, bridge, or prosthetic is securely fitted to complete your new smile.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

With proper care, dental implants can last over 20 years or even a lifetime. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups ensure their longevity. Combined with a healthy lifestyle, implants are a long-term, reliable investment.

Recovery and Aftercare

The recovery period after implant placement typically takes 3 to 6 months. During this time, proper aftercare is vital to allow the implant to fully integrate with the bone. Following your dentist’s care instructions, maintaining oral hygiene, and attending regular check-ups will speed up recovery and minimise any risks.

Dental Implants vs. Dentures: What’s the Difference?

Dentures are removable prosthetics that rest on the gums, while dental implants are fixed into the jawbone. Implants offer a more natural look and feel, prevent bone loss, and provide a long-lasting solution. Dentures, on the other hand, can slip, require adhesives, and may feel less secure over time.

Cost of Dental Implants

The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of implants, type of restoration, and individual needs. While the initial cost may be higher than other treatments, their durability and long-lasting results make them a cost-effective solution. A detailed treatment plan and pricing will be provided during your consultation.
