Implants

“Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.”

—Pat Riley

A dental implant is a replacement tooth held in place by a titanium or ceramic fixture in the jaw. Dental implants have excellent longevity and can achieve life-like appearances. These are preferred method of replacing missing teeth because they are comfortable, functional, aesthetic, easily cleansible and can last a lifetime with proper care.

Placing an implant is a complex process and the over condition of the mouth must be taken into consideration. A full examination including a thorough health questionnaire is mandatory for any implant planning process. Once it is determined that you are a good candidate for an implant surgery, you will be referred to a specialist oral surgeon, who may take further records to plan the surgery. This is extremely important as poorly placed implants can cause major problems and very high costs to fix.

The implant can be placed either immediately at the time the existing tooth is removed, or can be placed after depending on the situation. In some cases you may require bone grafting to allow more support for the implant. Once the implant is placed, there is usually a healing period up to 6 months. Once the implant is well integrated into your bone, an abutment (the ‘tooth’ portion) will be placed to replace the missing tooth.

Prestige Dental: Your Number One Resource for Dental Implants in Silverdale

One of the most common ways of dealing with lost teeth is dental implants. Most people nowadays prefer surgical tooth implants to dentures. However, dentures are more affordable and often the only practical option, depending on the gums and general health conditions of the patient. If you are considering whether to have implants or dentures, your best option will be to visit your local dental professional for a comprehensive assessment.

We offer professionally designed dentures, teeth implants, as well as a wide range of other dental health services to our customers in Silverdale and surrounding areas. We take pride in being a cornerstone of the dental health of our local communities, providing professional dental services of the highest standard.

What You Should Know About Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implants have revolutionised the industry and have changed the lives of millions of people around the world. The additional cost is well worth it, considering the inconvenience and the notoriously limited function of dentures. It is important to consult your medical health and dental professional before deciding which option would be best.

Whether a single tooth implant or a mouthful of teeth, dental implants are the most invasive way of replacing lost teeth, but it is also the longest lasting. With the proper care and attention to tooth hygiene, your implanted teeth can last as long as 20 years, unlike dentures that generally last for about 5 years.
Implants are permanent and are not affected at all by the ever-changing shape of the jawbone and gums that inevitably comes with age. You must regularly refit dentures to account for this.
Dental implants are painless and unaffected by heat and cold. The surgery itself is also relatively painless as it is done in stages, meaning your gums have more than enough time in between surgeries to heal before the next stage of the process begins.
