Implants

For the replacement of a missing tooth or teeth, implants are the top of line option, with a more natural look and secure feel. They can be used to replace a single missing tooth or support a bridge, full dentures or partial dentures. It is done by the placement of an artificial tooth root into the jawbone, which is made of medical-grade titanium onto which a porcelain crown can be attached.

Advantages

• Very natural feel and appearance
• Strong and durable - long lasting
• Feels and functions like the missing natural tooth
• Can be cleaned as easily as a natural tooth
• Adjacent teeth are not under any stress from supporting the prosthesis

Disadvantages

• Not suitable in every situation - requires careful assessment and planning
• Appearance at the gum can sometimes be a little unnatural
• Longer treatment time - up to 6-9 months, although more recent "single stage" and "immediate" implants have reduced this considerably
• Greater cost

The good news is that, with simplification of surgical and laboratory procedures in recent years, the cost of implants has become more affordable.
