Implants

Dental implants are an ideal option for people to replace a lost tooth due to periodontal disease, decay, injury, or some other reason. Although many people regard implants as a new invention in dentistry, in actual fact, they have been around for some 50 years! They are well backed by long-term clinical studies proving their effectiveness and durability.

While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support. Therefore, no cutting is required for the neighbouring teeth, and this minimises any potential problems that may arise. 

Dental implants are so natural looking and feeling; you may forget you ever lost a tooth. Clinical studies have proven that implants impart the greatest comfort when compared to dentures, as the method to replace lost teeth. They also impart a higher quality of life compared to dentures.  Perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Maybe your dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, there is good news!

Dental implants are teeth that can look and feel just like your own! Under proper conditions, such as placement by an experienced dentist and diligent patient maintenance, implants can last a lifetime. Long-term studies continue to show improving success rates for implants.
