| Appearance tops the list
of reasons to fill in gaps in smiles and back teeth.
Comfort  and
performance matter too. People want to chew, taste and speak
better. Some people want to avoid the looseness, bulk, odour
and maintenance difficulties of removable dentures. Others know
that bridgework increases the chance of needing a root canal.
Yet others have teeth to be removed because of cavities, abscesses,
crookedness or looseness, while some have bridgework that needs
replacement. They all want permanence, reliability and sophistication
backed by research, technology and expertise.

Implant anchorage benefits
|
Freedom to eat, speak and smile
without worry or embarrassment |
|
Freedom to eat a
complete diet, chew well and taste foods and beverages |
|
Freedom from pain, clicking, rubbing,
looseness, adhesives and liners |
|
Freedom from sticking food and cleaning
under bridgework |
|
Freedom from stress on the adjoining teeth
from supporting a bridge or partial denture |
|
Freedom from the difficult dental procedures
necessary for bridgework |
|
Improved quality of life. People have
more control over their lives when they can eat, talk and smile
knowing that their teeth will not let them down |
Replace one, several or all teeth
|
Each separate replacement tooth
has its own supporting implant |
 |
|
If two or more teeth
are being replaced side by side, the replacements can
be linked together for greater strength |
|
When replacement
teeth are linked, the number of implants anchoring them
can often be reduced to lower costs |
|
|
We can provide implant anchored permanent
replacement teeth even for people who have no natural teeth at
all, and for people wearing full or partial dentures |
Timing
|
People with teeth that must
be removed may get implants at the same time their teeth are extracted
so they get their permanent replacements much sooner |
|
Our patients' wait between surgery and receiving
their implant-anchored permanent replacement teeth is much less
than the conventional 7 months |
|
 |
2 ½ to 3 months normally elapse
for replacements in the lower jaw |
|
4 ½ to 5 months normally elapse
for replacements in the upper jaw |
|
