Dental implants for missing teeth
Here at the practice we are pleased to offer dental implants for replacing missing teeth. Missing teeth can have a huge impact on the appearance of your smile, but more importantly they can affect the health of your remaining teeth, resulting in further tooth loss and more complications. Our dentist Kew is a specialist prosthodontist with extensive experience in replacing missing teeth. Dental implants are the gold standard for restoring lost teeth thanks to the permanent solution that they provide for this condition. You may replace one missing tooth, several teeth or you can use dental implants for replacing all your teeth to transform your smile completely.
The process
We will examine the health of your gums and jawbone to make sure that dental implants are suitable for you. We use CBCT scanning technology to find out if there is sufficient healthy bone to hold the implant securely in place. Some patients require bone grafting to make sure the procedure is successful. We will make an informed decision to ensure the success of your implant.
Once you are ready for the surgery you will be given an anaesthetic to help ensure minimal pain and discomfort. A small hole will be drilled into the bone socket of your missing tooth and the implant will be inserted into this. The dental implants are made of titanium therefore they are strong and sturdy and will last for the rest of your life. The healing process can take between three to six months depending on your body’s ability to heal. In this time osteoblasts, or bone forming cells, form around the implant so that it is fixed securely in place. We will create a crown or bridge which is tailored to the perfect size, shape and colour to match your remaining teeth or according to your personal preferences. Once the implant has been successfully embedded into your jaw, our dentist Kew will attach the crown or bridge to the implant to replace your missing tooth or teeth
We highly recommend that you visit the dentist on a regular basis to maintain healthy teeth and gums and enjoy a beautiful smile for life. Speak to us today for outstanding dental care and excellent customer service. We are waiting to hear from you.
