Smile again with Dental implants. Say goodbye to missing teeth and dentures. Dental implants restore the quality of life and help give you your bite back.
A dental implant is the placement of a titanium post into the jaw bone. Titanium has a great history in integrating with bone is routinely used in hip replacements.
In the same way, the dental implant osseointegrated with the bone to become rigid. Once firmly placed in the bone, a crown is either screwed in or cemented to the implant.
An implant can replace one tooth or a few teeth with either a single implant or a range of teeth such as an implant-supported bridge or denture.
Our specialists have vast experience in placing dental implants to not only fill a gap but to make it as natural as possible.
This is the popular U.S. brace system. Using 3-d computer-aided technology we digitally create a mock-up of your teeth and align them to prescription. Once you and your dentist are happy with the final result we have a set of clear aligners manufactured. You wear the aligner for 2 weeks at a time returning to ensure the teeth are moving as planned. After all the aligners are used the teeth should reach their desired position and then retainers are placed to hold the teeth in these positions long term.
To improve efficiency we sometimes add white filling material to the front of the teeth to help the trays engage with the tooth and move it in the desired direction.
To create space if needed we can either remove teeth, or ‘strip’ tiny amounts of enamel between a number of teeth to create space for the teeth to move. This is usually done progressively during the treatment to ensure we stay as minimal as possible.
