Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. They provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures. Implants also provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances.
The number implants required in each scenario differs from case to case. Sometimes an entire arch of teeth can be restored on just 4 implants.
Frequently asked questions
Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jawbone. The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and will not only restore a patients smile but can also enhance it.
- Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth
- Restore a patient’s confident smile
- Restore chewing, speech, and digestion
- Enhance or restore facial tissues
- Support a bridge or denture, making them more secure and comfortable
The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months.
Step 1
Jaw and teeth xrays are taken – this helps determine bone, gum tissue and spacing available for the implant.
Step 2
The implant is surgically placed into the bone (while numb). The area is allowed to heal for 3-6 months.
Step 3
After healing the artificial tooth/teeth are made. They are then fitted to the implant(s).
Good oral hygiene, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new implant.
The exact cost of your dental implant(s) will be determined by:
- The complexity of your case
- The number of teeth to be replaced
- The need for extractions, bone grafting or sinus augmentation
At Deall Dental we offer a number of payment plan options to suit your needs.
Dental implants are very strong, stable, and durable and will last many years, but occasionally they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practioner.
