Feel confident and carefree again while interacting with people – whether it’s a business discussion, enjoying a meal with friends and family, or having a laugh with your loved one.
We often talk about maintaining healthy teeth, but it is not only their function that is important to us. Teeth play a central role in your physical appearance and smiling with confidence is really good for your health. For this reason, we take immense pleasure in restoring lost teeth in the most natural and aesthetically pleasing way.
It is a well-known fact that the loss of teeth is accompanied by a loss of tissue volume and a gradual collapse of a supporting bite. This can lead to severe temporomandibular joint problems and an aged appearance. Implants can prevent this by providing stability and support to your bite and by restoring lost volume to your face.
“My implants have become a part of me. I did not even think about them once they were placed. There is no discomfort and they are taken care of just like my own teeth. I brush and floss just like I used to and I forget that they are implants – they feel like they are part of the rest of the teeth in my mouth.”
Peter RaubenheimerBusinessman
When a tooth and its root are missing, a crown on a dental implant is an aesthetic and long-term solution that works like a natural tooth. A dental implant is a small but strong post made of biocompatible metals, or ceramics, which is inserted into the jawbone in place of the missing tooth root. Such an implant acts as a support for the tooth and is surgically inserted under local anaesthetic on an outpatient basis.
Until the implant is securely attached to the jawbone, during a process called “osseointegration”, a healing phase of between 6 weeks and a few months is necessary, depending on the individual medical situation. Once healed, the artificial root acts as a base for fixing individual crowns or multi-tooth bridges. The implant can also be used as an anchor for an entire dental prosthesis.
