Your smile is your best asset; a friendly smile conveys warmth and openness, while a beautiful smile conveys confidence, youth and vitality to all who sees it.

Dental Implants serve as a Root Replacement for missing teeth providing a foundation for new teeth.

The Dental Implant system we use is Biomet 3i; it has one of the highest documented success rates. More details can be found on their website at www.biomet3i.com

Basic principles in deciding if you are a suitable candidate depend not only on the amount of bone available, but also on its quality. This can be assessed at the practice with the use of X-Rays, study models, photographs and 3D images.

Why have Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are a permanent alternative to replace natural missing teeth. Dental Implants can:

  • preserve natural facial contours
  • Facilitate proper eating and chewing
  • Provide Aesthically pleasing results
  • Restore patients confidence

How do Dental Implants work?

  • Dental Implants are not a ‘quick fix’. Treatment is provided over a period time with the finished results in approx 6 months.
  • Implants are made from materials naturally accepted by the body
  • They help to preserve bone loss
  • Dental Implants replace all of the lost natural teeth. Dentures, crowns and bridge replace only the crown of the tooth where as Implants replace the root.
  • The root is replaced by Titanium placed into the gum to provide a secure foundation where a new replacement tooth is then made to fit on top.

Can anyone have Implants?

Implants are available for anyone who has lost their own natural teeth but are determined by some factors which enhance their success.

Bone quality and density will be measured by your Dental Surgeon who will advise you. Bone grafting materials can be placed to increase bone support if needed.
