A
Permanent Replacement for Missing Teeth
Today's
dental technology has now made it possible to replace your
teeth. This is done by inserting an implant, made from titanium,
into the bone.
This
technique has many advantages for you, the patient.
- Your
jaw bone and gum tissue are preserved minimising the effect
that the loss of a tooth has on the appearance of your smile
and facial profile.
- The
number of visits required for the treatment is reduced.
- The
length of time you have to wait for your new implant tooth
is reduced.
Before
the new tooth can be attached to the implant it is necessary
to leave it undisturbed for at least six weeks while the bone
attaches to its surface. During this period a small temporary
denture or bridge may be worn to fill the gap.
The
placement of implants is a simple surgical procedure, normally
six weeks from start to finish. The replacement of teeth with
dental implants has a success rate of 99%. Our highly expert
team will be able to guide you through what has become a routine
procedure for our patients.
