Benefits
Dental implants are widely known and appreciated for the convenience they bring as a long-lasting tooth replacement treatment. Rooted in the bone, implants look and feel like your own healthy teeth. Unlike dentures, there is no need for any artificial material adhering to the roof of your mouth or worrying that these oral appliances might wear out neighbouring healthy teeth.
Outlined below are some of the key benefits for your consideration:
Convenience
Dental implants do not interrupt your active lifestyle. They are permanently fixed in position so you don’t have to worry about them slipping out at inopportune times.
Comfort
No more plastic appliance on the roof of your mouth or wires poking out. Dental implants simply look and feel like your own natural teeth.
Speech clarity
Unlike poorly fitted dentures, implant-supported teeth allow you to speak and enunciate clearly.
Regain bite and chewing function
Just like your natural teeth, dental implants allow you to eat any type of food without discomfort or pain.
Ease of use
You don’t need to apply creams and pastes like you would with removable dentures. Treat your implanted teeth like they are your healthy teeth – with the same brushing and flossing routines.
Durability
Implants can last for many years. With proper care, they can even be expected to last a lifetime.
Post-Treatment Care
Dental implants can last longer than other teeth replacement methods – including dental bridges and dentures – provided that they are well looked after. By following the post-treatment tips below, you will be able to enjoy healthy and great looking implanted teeth for a long time.
Oral hygiene
In addition to regular brushing and flossing, you should remember to keep your surrounding oral areas – such as gums, tongue, and cheek walls – healthy and clean. These vital oral hygiene habits are worth pursuing not just because they help to maintain your newly implanted teeth for longer, they are also important for your overall dental health.
Get plenty of rest (post-surgery)
You should not engage in any strenuous activities immediately after the surgical procedure – your dentist may advise you to take the rest of the day off from work. It is not uncommon to feel uncomfortable or even pain in the initial hours following the procedure. To help your implants heal faster in a correct way, it is a good idea to stay in a resting position with your head elevated.
Follow dentist’s instructions (post-surgery)
Every patient is unique hence the implant treatment will not be exactly the same for everyone. It is important that you follow the specific instructions provided by your dentist. You will usually receive some form of medication like painkillers or antibiotics to help you alleviate any post-treatment discomfort.
Regular checks and cleans
Periodic follow-up visits to the dentist’s office are essential for the maintenance of your regular teeth and gums – and your implanted teeth will be no exception. Twice-yearly checks and cleans are recommended.
Why should you get a dental implant?
Dental implants can be a permanent tooth replacement solution, providing long term, durable results that restore full functionality in a natural looking, aesthetically pleasing way. Missing teeth may affect your speech and ability to chew and over time can even lead to bone loss. Dental implants are a modern form of tooth replacement technology.
What is a dental implant?
The dental implant is an artificial tooth root. It is usually made of titanium which is very strong and readily accepted by human tissues. The implant is inserted into the jaw and then left for around six months for the bone to fuse with the implant, creating a strong anchor for the replacement tooth. After the bone has fused with the dental implant, the treatment is completed with a finely sculpted replacement tooth known as a crown that is screwed onto the implant by your dentist. The result is a very strong, durable and natural looking replacement tooth that functions and appears just like a real tooth.

Are dental implants suitable for everyone?
Not all patients with missing teeth automatically qualify for dental implant treatment. There are certain criteria that need to be fulfilled before a person can be considered for the surgical procedure:
- State of your oral health: Your general oral health needs to be in good order for dental implants to be successful. If your remaining teeth and gums suffer from dental ailments such as gum disease, decay or oral infection, they will first need to be treated before implant treatment can commence.
- Bone quantity and quality: For successful implant placement, you would need sufficient quantity and quality of bone to be present in your jaw. If the dentist determines that you lack adequate bone structure to support the implants, he or she may recommend a variety of techniques to increase the bone mass to an acceptable level.
- Oral health maintenance: Your ability to maintain oral health after treatment will also determine the success of your treatment. For the most part, you should treat your implanted teeth the same way you would care for your regular teeth. Your dentist will advise on post-surgery care and ways to maintain your newly placed implants for the long haul.
Is there an age limit on dental implants?
Dental implants can last longer than other teeth replacement methods – including dental bridges and dentures – provided that they are well looked after. By following the post-treatment tips below, you will be able to enjoy healthy and great looking implanted teeth for a long time.
How long does it take?
The procedure length for the placement of a dental implant is dependent on the quality of your jaw bone structure, as well as where your dentist will be placing the implant on your jaw line. Generally, the time frame will be anywhere between a couple of months to over 9 months.
What are the advantages of dental implants?
The teeth that are adjacent to the implant are not removed, damaged or worn down in any way.
A dental Implant is also commonly used to hold and stabilise loose dentures or alternatively they can replace dentures with fixed bridges.
How long will an implant last?
It is extremely hard to predict a how long a dental implant will last. Some of the factors that impact how long a dental implant will last for includes the patients overall oral hygiene, nutrition, their individual anatomy and bone structure, oral hygiene routines and habits, as well as whether or not they consume tobacco.
