Implants have been the greatest advancement in dentistry over the past 30 years. Implants give a permanent solution to missing teeth, comfortably replacing any space, to look, feel and function as normal.
An implant is made up of three components:
The first component is a titanium screw that is placed within the jawbone to provide anchorage and function like the root of any tooth.
The second is an abutment that connects the screw to the top part of the tooth
The third component is the crown, that recreates your tooth. This is personalised to give a tooth that is both functional and aesthetic, and is integrated perfectly with your existing look and feel.
At Merrylands Professional Dental, we undertake placement of implants with frontier surgical equipment, to allow the best possible chance of successful integration. This has been identified by our clinical team, who have a wealth of experience in placing implants. Like any treatment, implants have different materials, techniques, and requirements to give the best chance of success. Our clinicians will take the time and care to explain these to you prior to starting.
Long term success of implants is very high with good oral hygiene and regular maintenance. We are committed to achieving the best possible result for you, by helping you from stage to stage, from placement through to regular hygiene appointments.
When compared to traditional replacement options, such as bridges, implants have the benefit of replacing the single site, without the need to modify other teeth. It is a fixed solution, that is less bulky and more comfortable than removable alternatives like dentures.
When you consider replacing teeth with implants, our team will undertake every effort to make the journey as comfortable and long lasting as possible. It is our mission to give you a confident replacement that integrates perfectly with your existing needs and desires.
