Implants
- A dental implant is a titanium screws that is
placed into the jawbone to support a replacement
tooth or bridge. Dental implants can be utilized
to replace individual teeth or multiple teeth. They
can also be used to stabilize loose full dentures.
Dental implants can support natural looking replacement
crowns that look an feel like real teeth. Although
nothing can completely replace a natural tooth,
dental implants are as close as you can get to what
nature gave us.

Implants
are one of the more significant recent advances
in dentistry. These state of the art medical devices
can restore the function and appearance of missing
teeth giving the feel and look of real teeth again.
Implant Bridge: Implants can be used
to replace mulitple teeth in the arch and thus can
eliminate the need for a partial denture.

Dental
Implants are placed into the jaw where teeth have
been lost by a surgical procedure. A porcelain bridge
is made and fitted for the implant and produces
a natural appearance, which is almost impossible
to spot against natural teeth.
Implant Supported Denture:

Because
of bone loss resulting fom tooth extractions and
periodontal disease or irregularties in the dental
arch anatomy regular dentures are quite often uncomfortable
for many people to wear. Implant Supported Dentures
provide a firm fit of the denture to the jaw an
thus offer a viable alternative to conventional
dentures

How
are dental implants placed?
Step
one: An incision is made to expose the bone over the
implant site. The site is prepared to accept the implant
which is then inserted into the jawbone
Step
two: In some cases, the gum tissue is closed over
the implant. In many cases, this step may not be necessary
eliminating the need for a second procedure after
the healing period is complete.
Step
three: After the healing period (3-9 months), the
implants are exposed and connectors attached to the
implants, which are used to secure the teeth to the
implants.
Step
four: The replacement teeth are lab fabricated and
permanently attached to the implants. Normal function
and stability is restored.
