A dental implant is a “screw” that is placed into the bone at the site of a missing tooth. It acts as an artificial root, providing a stable foundation for a dental crown that is placed over the top. Dental implants are usually the best way to restore a missing tooth, offering a permanent solution that mimics the function and appearance of natural teeth.
The dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth.
The surrounding tissues heal around the implant, a process known as osseointegration, which typically takes a few months.
Once healed, a dental crown is custom-made and placed over the implant, restoring the appearance and function of the tooth.
Dental implants help preserve the jawbone by providing stimulation similar to natural tooth roots, preventing bone loss.
Implants provide a stable and secure foundation for dental crowns, allowing for normal chewing and speaking.
Implants look and feel like natural teeth, enhancing your smile and confidence.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective long-term solution.
Considering a dental implant? We offer FREE implant consultations with our experienced dentist, Dr. Jeffrey. During the consultation, we will assess your dental health, discuss your goals, and create a personalised treatment plan to restore your smile.
Dental implants are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates well with the bone.
The entire process, from implant placement to crown restoration, can take several months. This allows time for the implant to integrate with the bone and for the custom crown to be made.
The implant procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, minimising discomfort. Some soreness is expected after the surgery, but it can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Care for dental implants involves regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, similar to the care for natural teeth.
Most people are candidates for dental implants, but adequate bone structure and overall good health are necessary. A consultation with our dentist will determine if implants are right for you.
Dental implants have a high success rate, typically around 95% or higher, especially when placed by experienced professionals and properly cared for.
