The third teeth grown in a day…

During the last 20 years, dental implants have become a desirable alternative to other methods of replacing missing teeth. Excellent success rates and a range of available options give dentists a variety of new ways to treat and replace lost teeth. Not only do they visually replace the missing teeth, but also stop bone loss and malpositioning of the neighbouring teeth, which happen after teeth are lost.

We can evaluate your case and tell you if you are a candidate for dental implants. Structurally, a dental implant is a titanium-based cylinder that replaces the missing tooth root. After a period of time, other parts are placed on the implant to enable us to eventually place a crown (cap) on the implant. Implants can also be used to support full or partial dentures, dramatically improving denture retention and stability.

Most patients with adequate bone mass can have implants, although it varies among individuals. Typically an x-ray and CT-scan are performed to determine if you have enough bone to place the implant, as well as to verify the size and kind of implant that should be placed.

Advantages:

• implant is felt as your own tooth, which enables a functional bite
• easy to clean
• preserves neighbouring teeth, which would have to be prepared in case of fixed bridge solution
• no bone loss on site, which would happen without implant
• removable prostheses can be fixed in case of toothless jaws
• made of biocompatible titanium, totally accepted by our bodies, attracts less bacteria as normal dental tissues.
