WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT?
The need to replace a missing tooth or multiple teeth could be the result of an accident, dental disease or because there was no formation of an adult tooth (congenital absence). When teeth are lost, a person can experience complications such as rapid bone loss, defective speech, or changes to chewing patterns that result in discomfort. Replacing lost teeth with a dental implant can significantly improve the patient’s quality of life and health.
A dental implant is the long-term alternative to routine reconstructions such as the fixed bridge or removable denture. The implant is painlessly inserted into the jawbone which can be carried out under local anaesthetic. No healthy teeth are affected or damaged. With other replacement solutions, adjacent teeth might need to be ground down to support a bridge.
A dental implant is a man-made substitute for the root of a natural tooth. It is the foundation for reconstruction. A single dental implant consists of 2 main parts.
The first part is the implant
A titanium screw, inserted surgically into the jaw bone. When this implant has healed (fused with the bone) the second part can be connected.
The second part is the abutment
This abutment or post, fits into the implant and passes through the gum. It links the implant with the choice of prosthesis. This might be a single tooth or crown, as illustrated above, or a multiple tooth bridge or even a clip-on denture.
Dental Implants – Healing Period
The dental implants begin to literally fuse with the jawbone within the first 3 weeks post-operatively. You will not be aware that this is happening. Healing takes about three months for the implant to be fully integrated.
The Prosthetic Treatment
We work as a team, with our technicians, to construct your new teeth. This prosthetic treatment might be anything from a single tooth replacement to a full jaw restoration. It might even be an implant retained denture.
We begin by taking an impression or a digital scan of your jaws and implants. This impression/scan is then made into a three-dimensional model which is used to construct your new teeth. As work proceeds you will be able to try out what will eventually be your new teeth. These are fabricated from gold with either acrylic or ceramic material. Adjustments take place until everyone is completely satisfied with the result. The treatment is now complete and it is virtually impossible to see the difference between the existing teeth and the new tooth/teeth. However occasional differences do occur in the contour of the gum.
Please see the video below on how the clinic uses cutting edge technology to use digital images constructing models and your new teeth.
