Dental
Implants
Dental implants are specially
designed and manufactured titanium fixtures that replace teeth that
have been lost.
Years
of research and clinical experience have increased the expected success
rate of (endosseus) dental implants by most account to 97% or better.
In many cases, dental implants may be superior to the natural teeth
they replace in terms of strength and durability. They are easier to
clean, have a more natural appearance, and are fast becoming the preferred
choice of patients for replacing a missing tooth.
Implants can now commonly be done as a single stage procedure where
the whole process is complete in 6 weeks, including final crown.
Implants
are now commonly achieved in one visit alleviating the need for a
second surgery. A single stage implant goes all the way through the
gum at initial placement. In many cases it is safe to place the implant
and the crown in the same visit. Dental implant placement is far more
simple and predictable than ever before.
