Dental Implants

A dental implant is a titanium or ceramic post (like a tooth root) that is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. After it is left to heal, the dentist can then attach a replacement tooth or teeth onto that implant. An implant doesn’t come loose like a denture can; it acts like a natural tooth root and integrates with your bone.

Dental implants also benefit general oral health because they do not have to be anchored to other teeth, like bridges. This means that they are not destructive of your other teeth and, with a 98% success rate, are an excellent choice for maintaining a natural smile.

Dental Implant Bridge or Denture on Implants

A dental implant bridge, replacing several teeth in a row, is a great, stable alternative to a denture or conventional bridge.

Dental implant treatment is a possible solution to restore teeth missing or failing in a row, whether there are teeth missing or loose teeth in a row, decayed teeth/teeth with a bad prognosis, broken or cracked teeth or root treatments which have failed.

How long does a dental implant bridge or fixed denture on implant treatment take?

Dental implant bridge treatment durations vary on a case-by-case basis.

In simple cases (with the dental 3D CBCT scan showing good bone quantity), there are 4 or 5 appointments over a 4-5 month period.

In more complex cases, where bone grafting is required, a 6-8 month period is required.

In some cases (when there is good bone quantity/quality), it may be possible to extract teeth and place the implants in the same appointment – this is called an immediately loaded bridge. Otherwise, a 6 week to 4 month healing period is needed before the implants are placed.
