Dental Implants at Wynyard Dental Clinic
With missing teeth, you change the way you eat, talk and sometimes even the way you act in public. Fortunately, you can permanently replace them with a restoration that mimics the function and appearance of natural teeth: dental implants.
Implants are strong enough to support the weight of multiple teeth and predictable enough to last for life. Their biofunctional design mimics the structure of a tooth root, setting in the bone and supporting a fixed restoration on top.
Advantages of Implant Treatment
Compared to other types of tooth replacement, implants offer unique advantages like:
- The best return on investment
- Single to multiple-tooth reconstruction
- Shaped like natural teeth
- Extremely predictable
- Non-invasive to other teeth
- Support facial tissues
- Enhance bone health
- Preserve natural spacing of your remaining teeth
Other missing teeth treatments call for removable appliances or reshaping healthy adjacent teeth. Such situations require intermittent upgrades and re-treatment, setting implants apart from conventional tooth replacement methods.
Types of Implant Restorations
Since implants only make up the “root” portion of your missing tooth, you’ll need a fixed restoration over it, attached via an abutment. For a single missing tooth, you’ll need a crown. If it’s two implants in a wider space of several missing teeth, a dental bridge is sufficient. You can also have as few as 4 implants to secure an overdenture.
Your Implant Surgery
Although dental implant placement is a type of oral surgery, it’s relatively straightforward. All you need to feel comfortable is a small amount of anaesthetic. However, some people do elect to have nitrous oxide (happy gas sedation) or IV anaesthesia. Recovery is easier than having a tooth removed.
Mini Dental Implants Available
If you don’t qualify for traditional implants because of bone loss or inadequate space, ask about our mini implant designs. Mini dental implants are less than half the length and width of a conventional implant, making them ideal for areas with limited room or bone support.
