Dental Implants

When you experience tooth loss, it not only affects the appearance of your smile but also impacts your oral health and overall well-being. Dental implants offer a permanent and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. At SE Dental, we provide high-quality dental implant treatments that can restore the function, aesthetics, and confidence of your smile. Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These implants integrate with the bone over time through a process called osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants are designed to mimic the natural structure and function of your teeth, offering a long-lasting and durable solution for tooth loss.

What is Included When You Get Dental Implants?

• Consultation and Treatment Planning: Our dentists will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and develop a personalised treatment plan. This may include a comprehensive examination, dental imaging, and digital impressions.
• Implant Placement: The dental implant procedure involves the surgical placement of the implant posts into the jawbone. This is typically performed under local anaesthesia or conscious sedation to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
• Osseointegration: After the implant placement, a healing period is necessary to allow the implants to fuse with the surrounding bone. This process, called osseointegration, usually takes several months.
• Abutment Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, abutments, which are connector pieces, are attached to the implant posts. These abutments serve as the anchor for the dental restorations.
• Dental Restoration: Finally, custom-designed dental crowns, bridges, or dentures are securely attached to the abutments. These restorations are carefully crafted to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking smile.

Why are Dental Implants Important for Patients?

• Restored Function and Aesthetics: Dental implants function and feel like natural teeth, allowing you to bite, chew, speak, and smile with confidence. They provide stability and support, enhancing your overall oral function.
• Preservation of Bone and Facial Structure: Dental implants help preserve the integrity of the jawbone. When a tooth is lost, the underlying bone begins to deteriorate. Implants stimulate the bone, preventing bone loss and maintaining the facial structure and contours.
• Long-Term Solution: Dental implants are a durable and long-lasting tooth replacement option. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, they can last a lifetime, avoiding the need for frequent replacements.
• Improved Quality of Life: Dental implants significantly improve the quality of life for patients. They eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience associated with removable dentures, allowing for enhanced comfort, confidence, and the ability to enjoy a varied diet.
