IMPLANTS
WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental Implants are an artificial tooth root that is placed into the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or teeth. Dental Implants are an ideal method of tooth replacement for people in good general health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to an accident, periodontal disease, severe decay or some other reason.
For suitable patients, dental implants are often the best treatment option for heavily compromised or missing teeth. Missing teeth can cause the lips and face to collapse, giving a premature aged appearance, as the bony structure that was once supporting a tooth or teeth have deteriorated.
A dental implant is a medical grade titanium post, which is precisely placed into your jaw bone and gum. Once this has integrated into the bone, we can proceed with attaching a crown, bridge or fixed denture to replace one or more missing teeth. Once the treatment is completed, dental implants look & function like healthy, natural teeth. Loose and uncomfortable dentures can now be replaced with something that is permanent and feels like part of you.
We at Dental HQ will create a treatment plan that works into your schedule and budget.
