Dental Implants
Would You Prefer Not To Have To Wear A Denture?
The best time to start the process of having a tooth replaced is 8 weeks after it has been extracted. From this point forward the level of the bone starts to decrease, possibly making it more difficult and expensive to place an implant.
Why Dental Implants?
Dental implants are often the best solution to replace missing teeth. They have several key advantages over other possible treatment options:
Questions About Dental Implants
Here are some of the common questions we’re asked about Dental Implants. All of our treatments are tailored to suit your individual needs. Because of this we often recommend a consultation with one of our dental team if you’re considering any treatments, so we can assess and advise the best options available to you. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.
Treatments are tailored to suit your individual needs and the cost of Dental Implants will vary depending on a number of factors, such as number of teeth and other treatments which may be needed. For this reason we recommend visiting us for an Implant consultation to get an accurate assessment.
Good candidates for dental implants are individuals with one or more missing teeth, healthy gums, and enough bone density to support the implant. It’s also important that candidates maintain good oral hygiene and do not have health conditions that could affect healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or severe periodontal disease. Your dentist will evaluate your oral and overall health to determine if dental implants are right for you.
The dental implant process typically takes several months and involves multiple steps. Initially, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. This is followed by a healing period of three to six months, during which the implant fuses with the bone. After this, an abutment is attached to the implant, which connects the replacement tooth. Finally, a custom-made crown is placed on the abutment, completing the process.
Does your denture continually move around and are you worried it will drop down at an embarrassing moment?
Dental implants can be used to secure dentures so they do not move around – they simply clip in place. This leaves no room for potential embarrassment.
