Welcome to the Centre for Implant Dentistry

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants have revolutionized the way we approach tooth loss. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants provide a permanent solution that integrates with the jawbone, offering both functionality and aesthetics. A dental implant is essentially a titanium post that serves as a replacement tooth root, offering a solid foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are designed to blend with your natural teeth.

The Implant Procedure: What to Expect

The process of receiving dental implants typically involves several phases:

• Consultation: The journey begins with a comprehensive consult, where we assess your oral health and discuss your goals.
• Treatment Planning: Customized treatment plans are designed to meet each patient’s unique needs.
• Implant Placement: During the surgical phase, the titanium post is placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia.
• Healing Process: Osseointegration occurs as the bone fuses with the implant, providing stability.
• Abutment Placement: After healing, an abutment is attached to the implant to support the crown.
• Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made crown is fixed to the abutment, completing the restoration.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Choosing the centre for implant dentistry comes with numerous benefits:

• Natural Appearance: Dental implants are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth.
• Improved Comfort: Unlike dentures, dental implants eliminate discomfort and the need for messy adhesives.
• Durability: With proper care, implants are designed to last a lifetime, making them a worthwhile investment.
• Enhanced Functionality: Enjoy eating your favorite foods without worry, as implants restore full chewing power.
• Preserve Jawbone: Implants help maintain jawbone integrity, preventing the bone loss that often follows tooth loss.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

While many people are eligible for dental implants, certain factors influence candidacy:

• Good Oral Health: Patients should have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant.
• Commitment to Dental Hygiene: Maintaining oral hygiene is crucial for the longevity of implants.
• Non-smokers or Willing to Quit: Smoking can impede healing and increase complications.
• Age Considerations: Generally, implants are suitable for adults whose jawbones have finished growing.

Aftercare for Dental Implants

Caring for your dental implants is essential to their success. Here are some aftercare tips:

• Maintain Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly as you would with natural teeth.
• Regular Dental Check-ups: Visit your dentist for biannual check-ups and maintenance.
• Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with very hard foods immediately after getting your implants.
