Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a combination of a realistic appearance, whether they are used to
replace a single tooth or a number of teeth, and the results are exceptional – they are the
closest thing to having your own natural teeth.
What are
Dental Implants?
The actual ‘implant’ part of this procedure is a small screw like object that is made from titanium. This material is chosen as it bonds extremely well with the bone in the jaw, which is critical for the success of the treatment.
In effect implants are artificial tooth roots, made from titanium. After we have gently placed them into your jaw an extension is secured to the implant – this is what will hold the replacement tooth. Replacements are made from realistic ceramic material by a specialist dental technician. They are then carefully shaped and contoured to match your other teeth.
Is it a Painful Procedure?
The majority of patients are already familiar with local anaesthetic used by most general dentists. The placement of an implant is
gentle and precise and utilises the same local anaesthetic. During the days following surgery you may feel some minor
discomfort, as this is part of the healing process but simple painkillers will alleviate the pain.
Are they Long
Lasting and Safe?
Implants have been available for forty years and have a wealth of excellent scientific data, which shows that they are a very successful long-term treatment (success rates of over 95% over a fifteen year period).
The implants are made of commercially pure titanium, which is a very special material in that it is well proven for its strength and safety, as the body does not reject it as foreign. It is the material that is used for hip replacements.
