Based upon your oral situation, your dentist will be able to advise you as to whether or not dental implants are the optimal solution.
Single tooth replacement - the treatment steps
The first step is the placement of the titanium implant. The implant will remain covered underneath the gum for approximately 3 to 6 months. During this time osseointegration takes place.
The second step of the procedure involves uncovering the implant and attaching connections. This completes the foundation on which your new tooth will be placed.
The final step is the placement of your new tooth. With techniques that ensure optimal size, shape, colour and fit, they will blend with your facial characteristics, and remaining natural teeth. You should expect the implant treatment to take from around three to six months. However, depending on your individual oral situation. the healing period can be significantly reduced.
During the healing period you will receive temporary dentures, allowing you to enjoy a normal lifestyle while waiting for your permanent teeth.
With good oral hygiene, dental implants are a lasting solution. Just like natural teeth!
Daily brushing and flossing combined with regular check-ups at your dentist is the best way to get the most out of your dental implants.
