Case Study

severe tooth decay can lead to tooth loss - the best way to treat this is with a dental implant

The patient had already experienced some tooth loss and after close examination, it was discovered that due to decay it was predicted the more surrounding teeth would follow. We corrected the problem, removed dentures and restored the patients smile. See more before and afters here.

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants are considered to be one of the most suitable solutions to restore missing teeth.

This is because they are a quick and powerful way to repair a patient’s smile.

As a successful and reliable treatment, dental implants are regularly prescribed as a more comfortable and stabler alternative to removable dentures.

The implant securely planted into the jawbone functions like an artificial tooth root, implementing the fundamental structure for the implant to perform and operate the same as a natural tooth. Further guaranteeing the treatment’s success and strength.

Why are dental implants so popular?

Dental implants are the next best thing to real, natural teeth.

It is also believed that dental implants offer the best long-term value of other tooth replacement options.

Advantages include:

  • More comfortable
  • Easier chewing ability
  • Stronger oral health and hygiene
  • Improved speech
  • Natural-looking appearance

All-on-Four/All-on-Six (Same Day Dental Implants)

The cost of dental implant procedures can vary – this is because it’s very case-by-case specific.

For example, patients suffering from underlying oral health conditions will need to have these corrected before proceeding.

Implants can cost more than other restorative treatments, this is because of the quality and the success rate it achieves.

As the procedure is complex, it involves specifically trained dentists, which makes them a great, long-lasting investment.
