Anyone with missing, or damaged teeth can benefit from dental implant treatment.
It is the most effective, long-term solution to many dental problems. Poor-fitting dentures can be replaced with implants for greater comfort, bite and appearance.
As the most advanced solution for your missing teeth, implants will allow you to talk, eat, and smile naturally and with confidence. Besides their natural appearance, implants offer the advantages of improved comfort and unequalled convenience. While high-tech in nature, dental implants are more minimally invasive than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support. They also preserve the related portion of the jawbone. In reality, dental implants are more cost–effective than other methods of tooth replacement due to their predictable success rate and longevity.
Who will be looking after me?
Your consultation will be performed by Dr Michael Murugiah. During this appointment, you will be asked a series of questions relating to your medical and dental history. He will discuss all your considerations and assist you in making the right decision for your needs. Regardless of your age or the number of teeth you need to replace, we can come up with a dental implant solution that is right for you.
A full clinical examination of your mouth, as well as X-rays and a CT scan, will be reviewed with you. The CT scan is critical; providing a clear and visible picture of the condition of your teeth, as well as vital information about the bone volume and density in areas where a dental implant is planned to be placed. At the end of the consultation, we will thoroughly explain your treatment options to you, covering every aspect related to the cost of the proposed treatment including the associated terms.
FAQs
What is an Implant?
Dental implants are strong, small cylindrical ‘posts’ made from titanium which are embedded and eventually integrated into the bone to support restorations such as crowns and bridges. Implants are becoming a more popular alternative to dentures and conventional bridges.
An implant restores a missing tooth so that it looks, feels and functions just like a natural tooth. Implants improve your smile and give you back your confidence. They help prolong the life of your existing teeth by reducing the pressure placed on them.
