What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are advanced dental restorations that replace missing teeth by mimicking the natural structure of a tooth. Each implant consists of three main components:

  1. Implant Post: A titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as an artificial tooth root.
  2. Abutment: A connector that attaches to the implant post, providing a secure base for the replacement tooth or teeth.
  3. Crown, Bridge, or Prosthesis: The visible part of the restoration, which is custom-made to match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and size.

Dental implants are designed to function just like natural teeth, offering a permanent and stable solution that improves both oral health and appearance. Whether you need to replace one tooth or all of your teeth, dental implants provide a versatile solution.

Single Tooth Dental Implants

If you’re missing just one tooth, a single tooth dental implant is an ideal solution. This treatment involves placing a single titanium implant post in the jawbone, which acts as a root for a custom-made crown. The result is a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like your natural tooth.

Benefits of Single Tooth Dental Implants:

  • Durability: A durable solution that, with the right maintenance, may last a lifetime.
  • Jawbone Preservation: Helps prevent bone loss in the jaw, maintaining facial structure.
  • Natural Appearance: The custom crown blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
  • Improved Oral Health: Does not require altering adjacent teeth, preserving your natural teeth.
  • Comfort and Stability: Provides a secure and comfortable fit, just like a natural tooth.

Single tooth dental implants are a great option for replacing a lost tooth without endangering the health of the teeth that surround it.

Multiple Teeth Dental Implants

If you’re missing several teeth, multiple teeth dental implants offer a secure and natural-looking solution. This treatment involves placing two or more implant posts in the jawbone, which support either a bridge or multiple individual crowns, depending on the number of teeth being replaced.

Benefits of Multiple Teeth Dental Implants:

  • Improved Functionality: Restores your ability to chew and speak naturally.
  • Long-Term Durability: With proper care, multiple teeth implants can last a lifetime.
  • Preservation of Jawbone: Prevents bone loss and helps maintain facial structure.
  • Natural Appearance: Custom-made crowns or bridges blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
  • Enhanced Oral Health: Does not require altering healthy teeth, preserving your overall oral health.

Multiple teeth dental implants provide a stable and durable solution for those who need to replace several missing teeth, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits.

Full Mouth Dental Implants

For those who have lost all or most of their teeth in one or both arches, full mouth dental implants provide a comprehensive solution. This treatment involves placing multiple implants in the jawbone to support a full arch prosthesis, restoring an entire set of teeth.

Benefits of Full Mouth Dental Implants:

  • Complete Restoration of Functionality: Allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
  • Long-Term Durability: Full mouth implants are a permanent solution designed to last a lifetime.
  • Preservation of Jawbone Structure: Prevents bone deterioration and maintains facial appearance.
  • Natural Appearance: The full arch prosthesis is custom-made to look and function like natural teeth.
  • Improved Oral Health: Offers a fixed solution that does not require removal or adjustment, unlike traditional dentures.

Full mouth dental implants offer a life-changing solution for those who need to restore an entire arch of teeth, providing stability, comfort, and a natural-looking smile.

The Treatment Process

Consultation - your journey begins with a consultation with our implant dentist who will assess your oral health, review your medical history, and discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure.

Treatment Plan - based on the evaluation, a customised treatment plan is created. This plan outlines the number of implants needed and any necessary preparatory procedures, such as bone grafts or extractions.

Implant Placement - the next step involves the surgical placement of the dental implant. A small titanium post is inserted into the jawbone, where it acts as a substitute for the natural tooth root. This process is typically performed under local anesthesia, and patients usually experience minimal discomfort.

Osseointegration - over the next few months, the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This integration ensures the implant's stability and strength and is the main reason why implants are as strong if not more so, than your natural teeth.

Abutment Placement - once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This connector piece serves as the foundation for the final restoration, the dental crown.

Restoration - finally, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the abutment, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth, both in appearance and function.

FAQs

The timeline varies depending on the type of implant treatment you need, but it generally takes several months from consultation to the final placement of the restoration, including time for healing and osseointegration.

The implant placement procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the surgery. Some discomfort after the procedure is normal, but it can usually be managed with pain relievers.

Caring for dental implants is just like taking care of your natural teeth. Frequent dental examinations, brushing, and flossing are necessary to maintain your implants and overall oral health.

If you lack sufficient jawbone density, bone grafting procedures may be recommended to build up the bone, making it possible to place implants. This will be discussed during your consultation.
