Dental Implants Smile Store

Dental Implants are the best way to replace missing or damaged teeth.

A dental implant is a replacement for your own tooth root, made from titanium and fitted precisely into your jawbone. The implant procedure is as follows…After a full and detailed initial consultation, where all of the options are provided to you, including costs, you will have a full diagnostic plan created. Once this implant procedure plan has been approved by yourself, you will then move on to have the dental implant placed. The implant is inserted under local anaesthetic by one of our Oral Surgeon specialists, where it fuses over time with your own bone in a process known as osseointegration. This process takes between three to six months but will vary from patient to patient.

Once the dental implant – the replacement ‘root’ – has fused to the jaw, you may add a crown, a dental bridge, or full dentures atop a single dental implant or multiple dental implants. The secure implant will allow any prosthetic teeth to be attached with a titanium screw and to look, feel and function like natural teeth.

• Conventional Dentures and Bridges don’t solve the problem of bone loss and will get lose as bone recedes further
• Overall dental health deteriorates

How Do Dental Implants Help?

• Dental implants fuse with your own jawbone (osseointegration) providing a solidly anchored ‘root’ for excellent stability
• They don’t have to rely on surrounding teeth for support
• Implants allow whatever is fitted to them – crowns, bridges or dentures (prosthodontics)- to perform naturally and allow a normal bite pattern
• Dental implants avoid bone loss problems caused by full and partial dentures
• Dental implants preserve as many of your natural teeth as possible without the need to file them down to support a bridge
• There is no slipping, slurring or difficulty chewing once dental implants have been used to anchor your prosthodontics
• Eat what you want, when you want, enjoy the great oral health

What Are The Benefits Of Dental Implants?

Implants take the place of a tooth root to fuse with your own bone and become part of you to look, feel and function like natural teeth. You can enjoy food again and speak clearly without slipping or slurring.

You will regain your face shape without hollowed cheeks or sunken mouth and see a huge improvement in your overall oral health.

Advantages of dental implants

• Improved Confidence: People who are too ashamed of their missing or damaged teeth; or worried about unruly dentures, strain to keep their mouths closed and their lips sealed tight for fear of embarrassment; never being able to fully communicate simple happiness. Dental implants give you back your smile – and your self-confidence.
• Natural Appearance: Crowns; bridges and dentures placed on dental implants look and feel exactly like your own teeth. As the titanium post anchoring them in place fuses with the jawbone, they’re permanent and secure – no more shifting dentures.
• Clear Speech: Ill-fitting dentures or major gaps in the mouth can cause trouble with speech; slipping dentures tend to make people slur or mumble. Dental implants allow you to speak unimpeded.
• Consistent Comfort: Implants become part of you; fusing with your own bone and you won’t have to think twice about them. They are completely comfortable.
• Bone Preservation: Dental implants preserve bone in the jaw by preventing the kind of recession and deterioration that happens when you lose a tooth, and they’ll significantly reduce the need for restorative intervention with your other teeth.
• Easier Eating: If you have missing or decayed teeth, it can be difficult to chew. If you wear dentures that slip, you are always evaluating what you can and can’t eat safely. Because Dental Implants function exactly like your own teeth, you can live a normal life with unrestricted food choices and no pain.
• Improved Oral Health: Dental Implants leave adjacent teeth untouched; they don’t require any alteration of other teeth for support – for instance no teeth have to be filed down for an implant-supported bridge. Single implants allow easy access between the teeth so you can floss and brush to maintain overall dental hygiene, and implant-supported dentures can be professionally cleaned once a year instead of left in a glass every night.
• More Convenient: Dentures are removable-and doing so can be an embarrassing inconvenience. Ever had dentures pop out unexpectedly? Dental Implants stay put.
• Longevity: Dental Implants are very durable and will last for years-in fact Smile Store – Your Local Dental Specialists, have a lifetime warranty on their Dental Implants. It is vital you maintain a high standard of oral hygiene to keep the warranty valid and maximise the life of your implants.
• Fewer Visits to Dentist: Once you get your Dental Implants, you’ll only have to see your dentist for normal, scheduled cleanings or check-ups. Commit to taking good care of your teeth at home and no matter how much you like the dental surgeon who gave you your implants; you should see far less of each other!
