Dentures & Implants
If you’ve ever lost a tooth, you know what discomfort and embarrassment this causes. Our solution is to offer you a full range of stable and reliable dentures, bridges or dental implants. Implants involve a virtually painless procedure whereby metal screws are inserted into the bone under the gums, which then provide a steady support for a replacement tooth or teeth. Dr Firas Daoudi, one of our dentists, is our expert in dental implants.
Dental implants
offer a permanent solution for your
missing teeth. A dental implant is essentially a substitute for
a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder
shaped. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled
at the precise location of the intended tooth.
Often
the implant can be placed at the same time as removal
of the tooth all on the same day.
If an implant has a screw-thread on its outer surface
it can be screwed into position and if it does not,
it is usually tapped into place.
The main aim during installation of any implant
is to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding
bone.
This creates an initial stability, which over
time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone
into microscopic roughnesses on the implant surface.
In order to support replacement teeth, dental implants
normally have some form of internal screw thread
or post space that allows a variety of components
to be fitted.
Once fitted, these components provide the foundation
for long-term support of crowns, bridges or dentures.
