Dental Implants

A single dental implant is ideal for replacing one missing tooth. It involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, a custom-made crown is placed on top, mimicking the look and function of a natural tooth. Multiple implants can be used to replace several teeth or secure a bridge. For multiple missing teeth, a few strategically placed implants can support a larger restoration, providing stability without the need for individual implants for every tooth.

An implant-supported bridge is used when several teeth are missing in a row. Instead of placing an implant for each missing tooth, two or more implants are placed to support the bridge, which holds the replacement teeth in place. This option is more stable than traditional bridges and preserves the jawbone (unlike bridges that rely on adjacent teeth for support.) It’s a durable and long-lasting solution for restoring multiple missing teeth.

Implant-supported dentures are a more secure alternative to traditional dentures, offering both fixed and removable options. There are two key differences:

• Our fixed implant-supported dentures are attached to implants permanently, providing maximum stability. These dentures don’t move or shift, making them a reliable option for eating and speaking with confidence.
• Our removable implant-supported dentures snap onto implants but can be removed for cleaning. They provide better security than traditional dentures while still offering the flexibility of removable dentures.

Both options help prevent bone loss and offer a more comfortable, secure fit than standard dentures.

Implant-retained dentures are similar to implant-supported dentures but rely on fewer implants. The dentures rest on the gums and are held in place by implants, offering more stability than traditional dentures. These are removable but offer a more secure fit compared to conventional dentures, reducing movement and improving function.

Full mouth implants are designed for patients who need to replace an entire arch of teeth. Instead of using the All-on-4 system, we offer a similar solution that uses multiple implants to support a full arch of teeth. This fixed solution provides a secure, permanent option for patients seeking a complete restoration. The procedure allows for a full set of teeth to be supported by fewer implants, ensuring stability and functionality whilst restoring the look of natural teeth.
