Dental implants are a functional and aesthetic solution.
Although dental implant treatment is not a quick and easy fix, it can make a great difference to how your teeth function and look in the long run. The majority of patients who undergo treatment agree that the long term benefit of having an implant is worth the investment of time and money. It’s definitely worth thinking about a dental implant.
Why would I need an implant?
- to replace a missing tooth, or teeth
- because it feels and looks very like a real tooth
- as an alternative to removable dentures or a bridge
- as a long-term solution that can last for many years, with good oral hygiene
- because implants function just like normal teeth and stay firmly in place
- and, mostly because implants really become a part of you and fit your lifestyle
What does a dental implant involve?
- during an initial consultation, your dentist will assess whether you are a suitable candidate for implant treatment
- you receive an individual treatment and payment plan
- using local anaesthetic, your dentist will fix the dental implant, a slim titanium post, into your jawbone
- the operation site heals during which time you wear a temporary crown
- dental technicians create a new crown to match the colour and shape of your other teeth
- the new crown is fixed onto the implant
- your new tooth will soon feel like it’s always been there!
