Single Anterior Implant with Immediate Load
As we get older, keeping our natural teeth can become more difficult, even with good oral care. If you’ve lost a tooth due to injury or disease, dental implants can restore both the look of your smile and your overall oral health.
A dental implant acts as an artificial tooth root, usually made of titanium, which is surgically placed into the jawbone. Titanium is widely used in medical procedures like joint replacements because it bonds well with human bone, providing a strong and lasting foundation for your new tooth.
Once the implant is securely placed, a replacement tooth is attached. This tooth can be either permanently fixed or removable, with permanent restorations providing greater stability and a more natural feel.
Ideal candidates for dental implants are non-smokers with healthy gums and adequate jawbone structure, free from gum disease. If you’re considering an implant, we’re here to help you restore both your smile and your confidence.
Single or Multiple Tooth Implants
Dental implants offer versatile solutions for replacing missing teeth. If you're missing just one tooth, a single implant and replacement tooth may be all you need. For several missing teeth in a row, multiple implants can support a permanent bridge, restoring function and aesthetics.
If you've lost all your teeth, a full bridge or full denture can be permanently secured using implants, providing a stable and comfortable solution.
Benefits Compared to Dentures and Bridges
Unlike traditional dentures and bridges, which sit on the gums and can shift or feel unstable, dental implants are securely anchored into the jawbone, providing superior stability. They function like natural teeth, offering stronger biting force and a more comfortable experience. Since implants do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, they help preserve the health of your remaining natural teeth.
While bridges generally last 7–10 years, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
Care After Your Implant Treatment
To keep your dental implants healthy and long-lasting, care for them just like your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are essential to maintain both the function and appearance of your new smile. With proper care, your implants can last for many years.
