Dental Implants
Dental implants are a modern teeth replacement option, offering a more permanent and comfortable solution.
Implants consist of three main components: a titanium post that is surgically implanted into the jawbone, acting as a tooth root; an abutment support, which connects the post to the replacement tooth; and a custom-made crown that emulates the appearance and function of a natural tooth.
The titanium post fuses with the jawbone over time, providing a stable and durable foundation for the crown. This integration not only ensures the implant’s longevity but also helps maintain the integrity of the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving the natural structure of the face.

WHY CHOOSE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Here are a few reasons why you should consider dental implants as part of your dental care plan.
Natural Appearance and Feel
Designed to look and feel just like your natural teeth.
They are custom-made to match the colour, shape, and size of your existing teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable.
This means you can smile, talk, and eat with confidence, knowing your implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Durable and Long-lasting Tooth Replacement
Unlike some other dental solutions, dental implants are a long-term investment.
Made from robust materials like titanium, they fuse with your jawbone to provide a stable and permanent solution.
With proper care and maintenance from good oral hygiene and regular visits to your dentist dental implants are a long term solution to missing teeth.
Comfort, Convenience and Easy to Maintain
Eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience associated with removable dentures.
Since implants are securely anchored into your jawbone, they won’t slip or shift in your mouth. This means no more worrying about adhesives or the embarrassment of your dentures moving out of place whilst eating or speaking.
Caring for dental implants is as simple as caring for your natural teeth.
Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are all that’s needed to keep your implants in excellent condition.

Dental Implant FAQs
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture. They provide a stable foundation for fixed or removable prosthetic teeth that look and function like natural teeth.
Who is a suitable candidate for Implants?
Most adults with good oral and general health are suitable candidates for dental implants. Adequate jawbone density is required to support the implant, and healthy gums are essential. A thorough evaluation by a dental professional, including imaging and health assessments, is necessary to determine candidacy.
How long do Implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last many years, often decades. Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding habits that can damage the implants, such as smoking or chewing on hard objects.
What is the recovery process like after getting Dental Implants?
The recovery process after dental implant surgery typically involves some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Initial healing usually takes a few weeks, but the complete integration of the implant with the jawbone, known as osseointegration, can take several months. Regular follow-up visits are necessary to monitor progress and ensure successful healing.
