Advancement in dental technology has given hope to people who have severe dental problems. Dental implants are a best alternative to natural teeth. They can go a long way to restore your self-confidence.

Essentially, an implant is a sophisticated titanium screw which is planted into the jaw bone to replace the root of a lost natural tooth. The implant fuses with the jawline to form a secure foundation to replace a tooth replacement. The result being teeth that look, feel and function just like natural ones. Dentaol implants score over The embarrassment , irritation and self-consciousness often experienced by people who have missing teeth, those who wear dentures or who have suffered through older methods of tooth replacement are overcome with the confidence of permanently anchored dental implants. In addition to improving your overall physical health and appearance it also improves your self-esteem..

When do I need dental implants?
In the following instances, dental implants can help:

  • If you are missing a tooth, or teeth you could be an ideal candidate for implants, especially if your smile reveals missing teeth!
  • If you are uncomfortable with the way your dentures fit. Loose dentures can cause sore gums because of friction or food trapped under the bridgework.
  • Loose teeth from gum disease may need support.
  • Dental implants can give you a new base to support new teeth to function and feel like natural teeth.

When are dental implants more advisable?
Dental implants are advisable in visible frontal areas or where a missing tooth could be replaced with a supporting tooth required for a bridge.

  • Replacement of a single tooth.
  • Replacement of multiple teeth.
  • Replacement of the entire dental arch, both upper and lower.

When your dentures loose and your gums sore:
Without teeth, the jawbone looses mass over time. Without a solid base, loose dentures have a tendency to irritate the gums, causing pain and sores while at the same time trapping food under the denture.

  • Implants combined with clips or attachments allow dentures to fit tight.
  • While refitting or replacing your dentures may work for a short while, it is not a long-term solution.


 

The actual procedure to surgically place a dental implant is done under local anaesthesia and is generally not at all painful. When the anaesthesia wears off about three or four hours later, you might expect some discomfort, differing from patient to patient. Patients do have varying degrees of pain or discomfort which may last for a few days. We ensure that discomfort is kept to a minimum, as your comfort and safety is our greatest concern!
