Dental Implants
Implant dentistry is the most advanced therapy available to replace missing teeth. Dental implant restorations generally look, feel and act like natural teeth.

Surgical Placement of Implant
Dental implants are artificial roots that serve as a replacement for missing teeth. Research indicates that dental implants’ biocompatible surfaces actually stimulate the required fusion with the bone. Once it has been achieved, the crown, bridge or whole tooth replacement can be fixed to the implant or implants to feel like natural teeth.
Dental Implants are the best alternative to your own teeth and can provide a lifetime of excellent chewing and aesthetics. Patients who have been treated with implants are able to chew all the foods they desire and no longer have to suffer the embarrassment of having their teeth come loose in public.

Each year millions of implants are successfully placed in patients throughout the world. In light of a very high treatment success rate, it is no wonder the trend toward implants continue to grow.
Teeth as individual as you.
Dental Crown and bridge are replacement teeth that are individually produced to meet your own personal needs. It is recognized that all ceramic crown and bridges offer the best esthetic solution.

Individual treatment plans
In ideal cases, implants can be placed in as little as one session. Your treatment plan will, be dependent on your particular clinical situation. Depending on the treatment procedure, it may take between one and two hours. Afterwards, the implant often needs time to integrate so that it can fuse with the bone. The better the quality of the bone, the better the conditions and the shorter the treatment duration. Depending on the clinical situation, a temporary tooth may be provided during the integration period. Once this integration phase has been successfully concluded, the final replacement tooth can be attached.
Replacing a missing tooth
Crown on Implant.
If you are missing only one tooth, an all-ceramic dental crown on a implant is often the best choice. The implant serves as a foundation for dental crown.
The ceramic crown is then attached to the dental implant. It matches the shade and contour of your natural teeth so that no one can tell the difference. Replacing a signal tooth with implant-based solutions does not compromise healthy adjacent teeth, nor is there a risk that continuing bone loss will weaken neighboring teeth.
Replacing several missing teeth
Bridges on natural teeth.
For two or more missing teeth, a bridge cemented to natural teeth is an economically viable, long term solution. The bridge is supported by the adjacent natural teeth, which must be ground down beforehand to serve as a support for the new bridge.
Bridges on implants.
A bridge supported by implants counteracts bone loss and protects the remaining healthy teeth. If two or several teeth are missing, a bridge firmly anchored to implants provides as esthetically pleasing and functional results that helps prevent further loss of natural bone.
Tooth replacement when all teeth are missing
Missing all your teeth can have a devastating impact on quality of life. It often makes people appear older than they actually feel. Conventional solutions include adjusting the denture base to the gum tissue with either a dental adhesive or by holding it in place with a seal along the border of the denture. The success of conventional solutions depends large on the amount of residual bone and soft tissue. The loose attachment of the tooth replacement can also reduce chewing capacity, which can lead to an unbalanced diet and poor digestion-crunchy vegetables and fruits, for example are almost impossible to eat. Bone loss may also progress, and the functionality of the tooth replacement will increasingly diminish. When the palate is covered by an upper denture, a reduction in the sense of taste can also be expected.
