Are you missing one or more teeth? Having trouble with dentures or partial dentures? Are you unhappy with your bridge? If so, dental implant may be the answer you are looking for.

Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements used to counter tooth loss.The procedure is categorised as a form of artificial tooth replacement, though it also falls into the category of cosmetic dentistry.

Although you have number of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth, none have proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants. In many cases, dental implants may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures.

TEETH ARE LOST BECAUSE OF:

       • Poor oral hygiene

       • Root canal failure

       • Gum disease

       • Trauma to the mouth

       • Excessive wear and tear

       • Congenital defects

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER RECEIVING A DENTAL IMPLANT?

Rigorous dental hygiene practices consisting of both at-home care as well as visits to your dental clinic are mandatory for optimal oral health. Both your natural teeth as well as implants need to be treated in the same way. Of course regular brushing and flossing are great ways to keep your implants clean and plaque-free.

Post-treatment, the best care plan will be drawn up for you by your periodontist to follow with your help. Remember your follow-up with visits that will help you observe your implant, teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy.
