Unfortunately,
millions of people experience the difficulties associated
with missing teeth, some of which can
severely undermine their self-confidence and the quality of
their life.
Missing
teeth can compromise your health, eating habits speech and
appearance. Another serious
consequence of tooth loss is the compromise of your facial
structures.
When a
tooth is lost, the bone that previously surrounded the tooth
root deteriorates, or melts away. When all
of the teeth are missing, the facial structures collapse as
the jaw(s) deteriorate over time.
In extreme
cases, people who wear dentures will choose to avoid social
contact, make poor food choice, suffer from constant”
denture sores”
The preferred
method of tooth replacement is dental implant treatment. Dental
implants are substitute tooth
roots. They form a stable foundation for permanent replacement
teeth that look, feel and function like your
natural teeth.
There
are numerous advantages of dental implant treatment over other
treatment options. For instance, it
is not necessary to grind down the adjacent teeth for a bridge,
or secure a partial denture to the teeth with
clasps that can eventually loosen them. By utilising dental
implants, people who are missing all of their teeth
are spared the many problems associated with traditional false
teeth.
Improved
quality of life
If you qualify
as a candidate, dental implant treatment is considered the
treatment of choice. The benefits of
this treatment can improve the quality of your life.

integrity of facial structures

adjacent teeth

long-term aesthetics

THE
BEAUTY OF NATURAL TEETH
Your teeth make
a statement about you. A beautiful smile enhances your overall
appearance and charisma,
giving you added self-confidence and presence. Strong, healthy
teeth preserve the integrity of your facial
structures, affecting the appearance of the lower one-third
of your face.
The condition of your teeth can impact your overall health
and chewing function. Your speech is also affected
by the condition of your teeth. Healthy attractive teeth contribute
to a better quality of life.
WHAT
ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants
are small titanium cylinders that are surgically inserted
into the bone of the jaw. Restoration
is then anchored to the implant. Since the implant is inserted
into the jaw, surrounding teeth are not affected.
Also bone levels are preserved...an added plus.
THE
PROCEDURE
We’ll create
a model of your mouth, which will allow us to make precise
measurements and pinpoint the
optimum location for the implant. Then we will surgically
place the titanium cylinder. When the area is healed,
we’ll the custom- Made restoration.
WILL
THEY WORK FOR ME?
Implants are a
great way to replace missing teeth, whether it’s a single
tooth, multiple teeth, or a full set of
dentures that you are replacing. Dentures, bridges or individual
teeth attached to implants provide stability, a
more secure fit and a more natural look and feel.
