Dental implants are a safe and straight forward treatment to replace missing teeth. If you have a denture or have lost teeth in the past, you can now restore the function and aesthetics with a dental implant.
The implant is an artificial root for your new tooth, inserted into your jaw. They are usually made of titanium which is compatible with human tissues. Once your bone has grown and bonded with the implant, a strong, artificial and realistic tooth known as a crown is attached to the implant to complete the restoration process. The result is a strong tooth restoring full functionality and providing a very natural appearance that is practically indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
Implants are permanent and secure and do not require removal for cleaning or flossing nor any other extraordinary treatment. As opposed to a bridge or denture, a dental implant is just like a natural tooth.
At Sailors Bay Dentistry we use the latest 3D X-Rays, surgical guides and treatment planning software. This simplifies your treatment allowing us to place our implants with speed and accuracy whilst avoiding trauma. In fact our practice is one of the 1% (including specialist practices) who has access to and routinely uses these technologies.
