Bite & Chew With Ease

An implant functions like a natural tooth. So, you can enjoy all your favourite foods without any discomfort in biting and chewing.

Look Younger

Missing teeth may make your face look sunken and older than your age. Implants give you a well-balanced jawline, improve your smile and help you regain confidence.

Life-long Solution

Dental implants are a one-time procedure. They are strong and extremely durable, lasting for a lifetime.

Successfully replacing teeth using implants is an extremely 'technique-sensitive' process that requires great expertise.

An advanced titanium structure is anchored into the jawbone where the tooth is to be replaced. This structure acts as a support for the ‘crown’ or the artificial tooth. These mechanics are similar to how a natural tooth anchors itself, making dental implants the ideal replacement solution.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a small screw which is placed into the bone where a tooth is missing to provide the most stable and long-lasting platform for the replacement of the missing teeth. Titanium dental implants were first used forty years ago. Over that period of time there has been a very large amount of research to show that they work extremely effectively and reliably, and in most situations, are the best possible replacement for missing teeth.

Ceramic implants made of Zirconia are now also available. These are white non-metal dental implants. The Dental Implant Clinic is an accredited centre Zirconia implants.

The main component is the titanium implant itself. This resembles a precisely manufactured screw with a specially roughened surface which makes it very compatible with bone. The implant is about the same size as the root of a natural tooth. It is placed into the bone and left to integrate for 4-6 weeks. By this time it is rock-solid in the bone.

There are no problems with the integration of the implant into the bone, because titanium is one of the few materials that can perform osseointegration, whereby the implant is accepted into the bone which fuses around it. Once the implant is solid in the bone, the second part, a special titanium post, can be screwed into the implant. This is called the abutment.

The two last pictures above show an implant in place, and then the finished result with the abutment and crown added. The abutment allows the fixation of the final part of the implant – the crown (a replacement tooth). The crown is usually screwed into place. The porcelain on the crown is custom made to match the colour of the rest of your teeth, so that the implants are imperceptible from natural teeth. This is shown in the examples of our Work.

Why implants?

The Dental Implant Clinic focuses on dental implants because we believe them to be the best possible solution for missing teeth available today

To have a functioning set of teeth can greatly improve your quality of life. Not only will you be able to eat well, but you can also look great. Having your teeth helps give shape and support to your whole face. When teeth are lost, the gum and jaw bones shrink, which gives rise to a premature ageing effect. Once placed into the space left by a missing tooth the jaw bone will grow and fuse with the implant, but the most important thing is that the shape of your jaw bone will now be preserved, stopping the ageing effect.

Implants are the closest thing to natural teeth that is available today. Implants are incredibly strong which means that you can bite and chew with an implant just as well as with natural teeth, even with hard foods like whole apples and raw carrots! They are very long-lasting and allow you to live as if you had all of your natural teeth. Implants are also very versatile, and a combination of one or more implants can be used to restore anyone’s smile to brilliance.

If you have missing teeth, or are about to lose teeth, then filling the gap can be achieved with a denture, bridge or implants. To some, dentures are a bit old fashioned, perhaps something that their grandparents might have worn, and they involve the hassle of removal and cleaning. All bridges involve the cutting of adjacent teeth to some extent. However, the major problem with dentures and bridges is that they fail to preserve the bone and gum around extracted teeth and this will continue to shrink throughout life, giving an ageing effect. Dental implants, on the other hand, feel just like normal teeth, do not involve the cutting of adjacent teeth, are much more of a permanent solution, and prevent the gum shrinkage and ageing effect.

At The Dental Implant Clinic we have developed the skills to make dental implants look incredibly natural. You can see what can be achieved by looking at some of our before and after pictures.

Use of implant

Retaining or replacing dentures

Implants can be used to retain dentures which will stop your dentures from moving. This can be incredibly useful if your dentist has been unable to make a set of dentures which does not move. Implants can also be used to do away with dentures all together and return you to fixed teeth again. So, if you are fed up with your dentures and have to always watch what you can eat, avoiding tough food, then denture free implants can be a great solution. Just imagine being able to bite into a crisp apple or eat a raw carrot! Many dentures have unsightly clips on existing teeth which can now be eliminated with dental implants. Any denture, big or small, can now be replaced with dental implants. This will allow you to chew all of your favourite foods with no food escaping under the denture

Replacing Bridges

Implants are so strong that they can be used to permanently replace your bridge, as shown in this picture:

The picture shows a mouth with three missing teeth. A conventional tooth supported bridge would need to use the teeth either side of the gap to support the missing teeth. Implants do not attach to the surrounding teeth. The implants placed into the bone act like artificial tooth roots; they stimulate the bone and help keep its shape and strength.

Replacing unstable or infected crowned teeth

If an existing crowned tooth is becoming a liability and your dentist is unable to reliably fix the problem, many patients are now choosing to have the problem tooth carefully removed and replaced with a much more reliable and stronger dental implant.

An example of this problem and its solution is given in the testimonial of Robert Bates, who had a front crown that kept coming out. Click here to read about his successful treatment at The Dental Implant Clinic.

Replacing missing second teeth

Missing second teeth is quite a common occurrence. Indeed six percent of children have some second teeth that do not ever develop. It is best to seek professional help as soon as missing teeth have been identified. You will need to see an orthodontist and an implantologist so that a plan can be put forward that will minimize the impact of the missing teeth. If a back tooth that is missing then this is less of a problem; often the baby tooth can be left in situ for many years to come. It may well last until around age forty! It is very common for upper lateral incisors (second from the front) to never develop.

The management of these missing teeth requires careful planning with an orthodontic/implant team approach. At The Dental Implant Clinic, the team works to manage the treatment of many young people with missing second teeth. The girl in the picture girl did not develop her upper lateral incisors and chose to have her missing teeth replaced with dental implants as any other option would not have been as durable, nor as natural looking.

Placing implants

Step 1

First the extracted tooth is allowed to heal. This is vitally important to allow new bone to form in the hole left by the extracted tooth. During this time a temporary tooth is usually inserted so that no gap will be visible.

Step 2

Next the implant is placed under local anaesthetic (or sedation). This procedure is performed using pioneering key-hole surgery at The Dental Implant Clinic. The implant is left for a few weeks to heal. During this time a temporary tooth is usually re-inserted.

Step 3

Next a titanium post is screwed into the implant. The titanium will fuse with the bone in the mouth, providing a strong, stable and long-lasting platform for the tooth to be fixed upon.

Step 4

The crown is then inserted on top of the post. The crown is custom made by hand to match in with your own teeth, so that your implant will be indistinguishable from a natural tooth. The smile is now complete, and the implant will function just as a normal tooth.
