What is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are advanced solutions for replacing missing teeth. The titanium implant is designed to mimic the root of a natural tooth, and once placed into the jawbone, it fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This fusion makes the implant incredibly stable and durable, usually lasting for many years.
- The procedure is typically carried out under local anaesthesia, and while some discomfort might be experienced afterward, it is usually mild and manageable. After the implant has integrated with the bone, it is uncovered, and an abutment is attached. The abutment serves as a connector between the implant and the custom-made crown or bridge.
- Once the abutment is in place, a porcelain crown or bridge is fabricated to match the shape and appearance of natural teeth. The crown or bridge is then securely screwed onto the abutment.
- Overall, dental implants offer a long-term, reliable solution for tooth replacement that provides both functional and aesthetic benefits.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Natural Appearance
Dental implants are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. Because they are integrated into the jawbone, they offer a deeply rooted solution that closely mimics the look of your real teeth. - Improved Comfort
Once placed, dental implants become a fixed part of your mouth. They feel just like your natural teeth, offering comfort and security, unlike removable options like dentures. - Improved Speech
By restoring the anatomical form of your original tooth, dental implants can ensure improved speech when compared to other replacement options such as dentures. - Convenience
Unlike removable dentures, you don’t need to worry about taking your dental implants in and out for cleaning or overnight storage. - Boost to Self-Esteem
Having a full, complete smile boosts confidence and self-esteem. Dental implants fill the gap left by missing teeth, providing a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing smile, allowing you to smile with pride. - Long-Lasting
Dental implants are incredibly durable and can last for many years with proper care and maintenance. This makes them a worthwhile investment compared to other tooth replacement options that may need frequent replacement. - Better Hygiene and Health
Unlike dental bridges, dental implants do not affect the surrounding teeth, as they are placed directly into the jawbone. This allows the adjacent teeth to remain intact and preserves the natural alignment of your bite. Additionally, implants make it easier to clean and maintain oral hygiene, as they don’t interfere with the spaces between your teeth, contributing to overall improved oral health.
State-of-the-art Implant Technology
At the Village Dental Practice, we utilise cutting-edge technology and a collaborative approach to ensure the best outcomes for our patients when it comes to dental implants. Here’s how our advanced methods enhance the overall experience and improve patient care:
Digital Planning for Precision
- CT Scan and 3D Model Creation: The process begins with a CT scan of the patient’s jawbone. This scan allows us to generate a highly detailed 3D model of your jaw, which gives us a comprehensive view of your bone structure.
- Virtual Reality Software: Using the 3D model, we can plan the exact placement of the dental implant using highly accurate software. This allows us to pre-plan the procedure in a digital space, ensuring that the implant is placed in the optimal position with precision.
Benefits of Digital Planning
- Improved Accuracy: The use of digital planning leads to more accurate implant placement, which can significantly enhance the longevity and success of the implant.
- Minimised Surgery Time: Since the placement is planned ahead of time in a digital environment, the actual surgery requires less time, which means less time spent in the dental chair for you.
- Reduced Discomfort: With more precise planning, the procedure is often less invasive, leading to reduced discomfort both during and after the surgery.
