A dental implant is a man-made replacement for natural teeth which allows the person to return to fixed teeth. Dental implants fuse with the jawbone to form a secure foundation for tooth replacements such as crowns, bridges or overdentures.

The dental implants are manufactured from biologically neutral pure Titanium. Titanium is proven to be acceptable by the human body and it will not cause material-related rejection. With today's advances in materials, Roxolid dental implants whereby titanium is combined with zirconia now enables stronger and more aesthetically looking smaller dental implants to be done.

The categories, brand, model of dental implants will be selected by your implantologist will depend on your specific needs and general dental conditions. An panoramic x-ray and/or CT scan is normally done to evaluate the amount of bone remaining, models of your mouth to determine space available and a thorough examination to decide which type of implant can help you the most.

• Regain your confidence and increased quality of life
• Reduce size and construct a more natural functional bridge or denture
• No need to trim the adjacent teeth to form the conventional bridge
• The solid anchorage of the dental implant will allow you to increase your chewing pressure, so eat anything you want
• Improves speech as compared to having dentures
• Prevent further loss of teeth and bone support
• Young, natural appearance
• Expected lifelong replacement for lost tooth
• No slipping, sliding clicking dentures or worrying about your dentures popping out in embarrassing situations

Single Implants

Dental implants act similiar to new tooth roots replacements. An abutment and crown is fitted on the dental implant posts that serves as new teeth. Dental implants are a terrific choice for missing teeth.

Multiple Tooth Implants

Tooth implants are stronger than the natural tooth roots, therefore several missing teeth can sometimes be replaced with fewer implants. For example three missing teeth can be supported by two tooth implants or four missing teeth can be supported by three tooth implants and have the bridge restored over those tooth implants.

An implant bridge is very much like a conventional full coverage bridge except the support is actually over tooth implants rather than natural teeth. The tooth implants themselves act as man-made roots. A great advantage is that this is self-supporting - unlike a tooth-supported bridge that puts a heavier load on the remaining teeth.

Full Arch Oral Implants - Dental Implant-supported Overdentures

Oral Implants allow you to wear full dentures and partial dentures without worrying that they will slip or fall out. Having oral implants to support these dentures also means that the base of the denture can be made much smaller and more comfortable.

For overdentures, oral implants with screws placed in the jaw will serve as attachments for a metal bar or balls, which will help support a removable denture. Use of 2 to 6 oral implants may be used for stability, as necessary. The new denture snaps over the bar or ball and is stable and very retentive. The completed fixed-detachable denture sits on top of the oral implants above the gum tissue.

Full Arch Teeth Implants - Dental Implants with Fixed Bridge

For full arch cases reconstruction cases with teeth implants, fixed bridges may also be used. The advantage of having fixed bridges is that they are not removable and would be similiar to having a totally new set of teeth. Full fixed bridges on teethimplants gives good esthetics and function.

Full Arch Dental Implants - All-on-4 and All-on-6

All-on-4 or All-on-6 in a concept developed by Nobel Biocare as graftless solutions for both upper and lower jaw for individuals with certain degree of boneloss. The dental implants in the posterior area are placed at an angulation. A set of overdenture or fixed bridges are then made and fitted similiar to dental implant supported overdentures and dental implants with fixed bridges respectively.

Full Arch Dental Implants - Zygomatic Implants

Zygoma dental implants are long dental implants placed high up in the zygoma area done in cases with significant boneloss.
