What is Dental Implants?
Implant dentistry provides patients with life changing fixed solutions for one or more lost teeth. Dental implants are a replacement root with a crown placed on top and are also used to hold dentures in place. Careful planning and design is important in any implant case. Implant dentistry is ideally planned from top down – selecting ideal tooth position and then determining if bone is available to place an implant in the correct position. We use digital technology, combining CT scans and intra-oral 3D models to place the implant support tooth in the correct position. Implant over-dentures can be lifesaving for patients with lower dentures, providing cost effective anchorage for a loose denture with little bone for support.
