What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium screw or root form that replaces the root portion of a missing tooth. The implant can fuse with the bone and becomes a good anchor for a replacement crown. Dental implants can replace single or multiple missing teeth depending on the patient’s circumstances.
Why choose dental implants?
Loss of teeth results in the jawbone changing shape and shrinking . This changes the look of your whole face and could cause premature ageing.
How natural will my dental implants look?
The dental implant replaces the root of your tooth with a titanium root form. Then a porcelain crown is used to replace your missing tooth which looks as natural as a real tooth.
Can dental implants be completed under twilight (IV) sedation?
Yes. Dental implant treatment can be carried out under twilight or intravenous sedation as an option for you.
Can I chew properly with dental implants?
Yes. Chewing is comparable to natural teeth. Dentures have only 60% of the chewing efficiency compared to natural or implant teeth.
How much do dental implants cost?
The fee for tooth replacement with dental implants depends on several factors. These include the number of teeth being replaced and the number of dental implants required to support your replacement teeth, plus the amount of bone loss and also consideration of whether they are in an aesthetic area of the mouth.
Will dental implants work for me?
Anyone missing one or more teeth due to injury, disease or tooth decay may be a candidate for dental implants. The determining factor is the amount of available bone and your overall state of health.
Will I be able to chew with the same force and pressure I use with my natural teeth?
