Implants

Do you find it difficult to chew and enjoy your food because your denture is loose or you have missing teeth?

Do you find it difficult to smile with confidence because of missing teeth?

The good news is that we can help!

At So Dental we offer Dental implants as a fixed long term solution to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are the closest thing to natural looking teeth and in fact, many of our patients say they feel and look like normal teeth.

The key benefits of implants are:

• You will get the perfect smile you want back
• You can eat the food you like
• You will feel confident about your teeth again.

Are implants for me?

You should discuss with your dentist whether implants would be right for you.  You will need to have healthy gums, enough jawbone to take the implants and support the replacement teeth. You must also be prepared to maintain good mouth hygiene and visit the dentist regularly.

Dental implant patients need to be in good general health before commencing. Some chronic diseases, such as diabetes, osteoporosis or chronic sinus problems, could interfere with healing and cause minor complications. Make sure that you tell your dentist about any medicines that you take regularly and your smoking habits.

What will my dentist do?

We will carry out a detailed assessment and tell you about the different stages of treatment, who will be carrying out each stage and the timetable for completing treatment.  We will support you through your entire treatment and beyond.

Dental implants are the treatment of choice to replace single or multiple missing teeth.  This is because they are made of titanium and are predictable, with a 95% success rate. Titanium is biocompatible, so the body will not reject the material. Therefore, it doesn’t give way to negative side effects. Because of this, an implant is a long-term solution to replacing missing teeth.

When a crown is placed over the implant, it looks like a natural tooth and no one can tell that any work has been done. A replacement tooth will blend in with your existing teeth and allow you to feel confident and give you the smile that you can be proud of.

At So Dental we want to use the absolute best for our patients and for that reason we chose Nobel Biocare as our dental implant educator and provider.
