Implants are a safe, well-established and popular dental treatment. There are many different implant systems available, and when competently used they can all deliver a highly reliable form of treatment.
A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root that is used to support one or more false teeth. It is a titanium screw that can replace the root of a tooth when it fails, and just like a tooth root, it is placed into the jawbone. But don't worry, it isn't anywhere near as painful as it sounds. Your dentist will explain how to prepare for your procedure and tell you exactly what will happen.
How Implants Work
Whether replacing a single tooth or an entire upper and lower arch, the principle behind the dental implants is the same. A titanium component inserted into the jawbone acts as a permanent replacement root for the prosthesis or crown.
A single implant is enough to replace one tooth, and it takes several implants to replace a full arch.
The result is a stunningly natural-looking replacement for teeth that lets you live life again.
Confidence
If you've been living with missing teeth, it may be some time since you last felt able to smile with confidence. Dental implants don't just restore your smile - they also bring back your zest for life.
Diet Improved
Missing teeth can mean so many foods are off-limits. Implants stay securely in place no matter what you choose to eat, letting you go ahead and enjoy all your favourite treats again.
Just Like Real Teeth
At Buckle Advanced Dental care, our implantologists work closely with technicians to produce teeth that look and feel just like natural teeth. Once you get used to implants, you'll completely forget they're not the real thing.
No Need for Dentures
Dentures are an excellent solution for missing teeth - but they often come with problems of their own. Implants let you forget about denture glue, teeth slipping out at the worst moment and other denture-related worries.
