Cosmetic Dentistry (Dental Implant)

Dental Implants
People lose teeth all the time, either through trauma when teeth are knocked out (athletes such as rugby players and boxers commonly experience this) or due to decay, gum disease or old age. Whatever the reason for loosing your teeth they need to be replaced both for aesthetic and functional reasons. The most common treatments for missing teeth are either a denture or a fixed bridge. However, dental implants are now becoming a more popular treatment to replace missing teeth as they provide a longer-term solution, slow down bone loss and preserve nearby healthy tooth tissue.

What is a dental Implant ?
A dental implant is an artificial substitute / replacement for the root portion of your natural tooth and is anchored into a pre-drilled socket in your jaw-bone to support a crown, bridge or secure a denture firmly in place. Implants are made from titanium, a material that is well tolerated by bone and integrates easily with bone tissue. During the placement of a dental implant the goal is to achieve a close contact between the outer surface of the implant and the surrounding bone tissue so they can “fuse” together (osseointegration) creating a stable support for the new teeth.

Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?
Dental Implants can be placed in patients of any age (with fully developed jawbones) provided that they have sufficient quality and quality of bone tissue available. Most healthy individuals that maintain a good oral hygiene program are suitable candidates for dental implants. Circumstances where implants may not be suitable or situations that have an increased risk of implant failure include: Heavy smoking (this slows down and hinders the healing process), Excessive alcohol intake (disrupts healing of the gums), Periodontal gum disease (all active gum disease must be treated prior to any implant procedure to ensure long term success of any treatment. Periodontal disease is a major cause of bone loss, which would hinder the success of any implant procedure). Immuno-compromised individuals (steroids, auto-immune disease, patients undergoing radiation treatment). Teeth grinders/bruxism (a night time splint can be given to treat this).
