DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental Implants are the perfect solution for patients with missing teeth. There are several ways to restore your missing teeth. The first option is to have a removable denture which many patients find inconvenient and uncomfortable. The second option is to have a dental bridge if you have healthy teeth either side of your missing tooth. The third option is to have a single Dental Implant. If you have several teeth missing in a row and the gap is too wide to ensure the strength of a Dental Bridge you can have several Implants spaced out and a permanent bridge is fixed to your Implants ensuring it is strong. 
Dental Implants effectively act like your own natural teeth. An Implant is a artificial tooth root made of titanium which intergrates with your bone to ensure its longevity. A Dental Implant should be with you for life so it is a permanent solution for patients with missing teeth. Titanium is designed to integrate with human bone. A process also known as Osseointergration.
If you have a single missing tooth or a single tooth which is no longer healthy and is in need of extraction you can choose to have a Dental Implant to replace your missing tooth.
If you have multiple teeth missing we do not replace every missing tooth with a Dental Implant. It is impossible to replace 28 teeth with 28 Implants as the bone would not successfully hold that number of Implants. An an example, if you have 4 teeth missing in a row the Surgeon will place 2 Dental Implants which will support a 4 tooth Dental Bridge.
SINGLE TOOTH REPLACEMENT
If you have a single missing tooth or a single tooth which is no longer healthy and is in need of extraction you can choose to have a Dental Implant to replace your missing tooth.
MULTIPLE TOOTH REPLACEMENT
If you have multiple teeth missing we do not replace every missing tooth with a Dental Implant. It is impossible to replace 28 teeth with 28 Implants as the bone would not successfully hold that number of Implants. An an example, if you have 4 teeth missing in a row the Surgeon will place 2 Dental Implants which will support a 4 tooth Dental Bridge.
There are many advantages to Dental Implants and we can summarised the main ones below:
- Dental Implants are the most natural way of replacing your natural teeth. They feel very natural as they intergrate with your jaw bone in a similar way to your natural teeth.
- If you are missing natural teeth for a long period of time your jaw bone will start to reduce, this affects the strength of your jaw bone and your face can look a lot thinner. Dental Implants ensure your jaw bone is preserved and prevents gradual bone loss.
- Dentures are neither a comfortable or practical solution for missing teeth. A Dental Implant is very practical and will restore your dental function to what it was when you had natural teeth.
