A single implant-supported crown replaced the missing central incisor that had been lost following an accident.
The natural tooth is a complex unit made up of various substances with an intricate nerve and blood supply and is supported in the bone by the periodontal ligament. At present, if a tooth is lost, the world does not have anything that can replicate the unique system that is a tooth. The closest tool we have when planning the replacement of your missing tooth or teeth is a dental implant.
A dental implant mimics nature by using an artificial titanium tooth root to support a crown, bridge or denture. The implant itself is placed into the jaw at the site of the missing tooth and encourages the surrounding bone to mesh and integrate with the implant (osseointegration). Once it is fixed firmly into place, it can be used to attach one or more false teeth.

Drifted and tipped teeth can cause aesthetic issues, areas that bacteria can trap and even damage the teeth above. Removing these teeth and replacing them with an Implant-Supported Bridge solved all these issues for this lovely patient.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They serve as a foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns or bridges.
The dental implant procedure typically involves several steps. First, the dentist will numb the area and make a small incision in the gum to access the jawbone. Then, a small hole is drilled into the bone and the implant is placed. Over the next few months, the implant will fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. Once the implant is secure, a connector called an abutment is placed on top of the implant. Finally, a replacement tooth is attached to the abutment.
The dental implant procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel any pain during the procedure. However, you may experience some discomfort and swelling after the procedure. The dentist will typically prescribe pain medication to help manage any discomfort.
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution for missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, they can last for many years, and in some cases, a lifetime. However, the lifespan of dental implants can vary depending on factors such as the patient's oral hygiene habits, the quality of the bone tissue, and other health factors.
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. You should brush and floss regularly, and visit your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. Additionally, you may need to use special tools, such as interdental brushes or water flossers, to clean around the implant.
As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with dental implants. These can include infection, nerve damage, or implant failure. However, these risks are relatively rare, and most patients experience successful outcomes with few complications.
The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the number of implants needed, the location of the implants, and other factors. For an accurate price range, book a consultation with our dental team.
While dental implants are a safe and effective solution for many people, they may not be right for everyone. Factors such as the quality of the bone tissue, oral health, and overall health can impact the success of the procedure. When you book a consultation with us, our dentist will examine your particular situation and help determine if dental implants are a good option for you.
If you are interested in dental implants, the first step is to schedule a consultation with us. During the consultation, we will evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. We can also provide you with more information about the procedure, including the cost and any financing options that may be available.
