Dental Implants
Having a tooth extracted can be a traumatic experience leading to feelings of insecurity and self-consciousness. However, there are a number of treatment options available to restore the function and appearance.
An unrestored extraction space can not only look unsightly but also makes eating certain foods difficult and can destabilise the adjacent tooth alignment. This in turn can lead to further dental treatment being necessary.
We are registered users of Densply, Astratech, Straumann and several other dental implant systems. We are able to maximise the final result by choosing the system most appropriate for your case.
What is a dental implant ?
A bridge is two or more ceramic teeth fused as a single section that is fixed to at least one of the adjacent teeth. Short span cantilever bridges involve two teeth, a supporting abutment tooth and the missing tooth. Often the bridge is fixed at both ends and there are two supporting or abutment teeth to replace a single missing tooth. Crown retained bridges have been used to replace missing teeth for over a hundred years and require the adjacent teeth to be shaved down. Adhesive bridges use a wing or plate top attach to the adjacent tooth which reduces the requirement to shave down the adjacent teeth.
