DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental Implants are the most advanced therapy available to replace
teeth. In addition to looking and feeling like real teeth, dental
implants allow you to:
- Improve your smile
- Eat the foods you enjoy
- Restore your confidence
DENTAL BRIDGES
A Dental bridge is fixed to the remaining natural teeth restoring aesthetics and function. There are two types of bridge:
1. Fixed - A Dental bridge fitted over prepared abutment teeth. A secure and long-lasting option.
2. Adhesive - A Dental bridge which is bonded to natural teeth and requires minimal tooth preparation.
Having
a fixed Dental bridge can make a fantastic improvement to the quality
of your life and the treatment can be completed in two weeks!
COSMETIC DENTURES
There are two types of Cosmetic denture:
1. Acrylic (or plastic) Cosmetic dentures
2. Cobalt Chromium (or metal based) Cosmetic dentures - only advised when some teeth are present.
The advantages of Cobalt Chromium Cosmetic dentures are:
- Better chewing (more stable; less movement of denture)
- Food more enjoyable (less coverage of the mouth)
- Stronger (metal is very hard, plastic can fracture)
- Lighter and thinner (plastic is more bulky)
- Healthier (less gum coverage)
If you want a fixed
restorative option that leaves your teeth unaffected, then Dental
implant therapy will offer you a cost-effective solution for the long
term. The treatment is comfortable to carry out and the results are
long lasting.
TREATMENT PLANNING
Cosmetic dentists and Implant dentists strive to diagnose dental
problems accurately. Duplicate models of your mouth, x-rays, special
gum measurements and the bite pattern are some of the factors we assess
during a complete mouth examination. A treatment plan is then made
giving you options and good advice as to which treatment best suits
your individual needs.
