Dental Implants
Permanent Teeth Replacement with Dental Implants
We want individuals to have the best options in natural-like teeth and therefore at ORION Dental & Implant Centre, we provide information about dental implants to help you make choices that are right for you.
Permanent Teeth Replacement with
Dental Implants
Dental implants work by insertion of a titanium post through the gum tissue into the jaw bone. The titanium post acts as a replacement tooth root that fuses with the natural bone. A dental restoration, such as a porcelain crown, is then fixed to the post abutment. The dental-implant supported tooth is permanently inserted for natural function and smile.
Denture Stabilisation
Stabilising Loose Dentures with Dental Implants
People with loose dentures that shift in the mouth often find dental implants to be life-changing. Implants can be used to secure dentures firmly in place, preventing movement and eliminating the need for messy adhesives.
This not only makes eating and speaking easier, but also restores confidence in everyday interactions, from enjoying a meal with friends to singing or simply holding a conversation.
Dental implants also help to protect the jawbone by stimulating bone tissue, which in turn supports long-term oral health and maintains the natural shape of the face. Many denture-wearers never look back once they experience the stability and comfort that implants provide.
Denture Stabilisation
Permanent Teeth Replacement with Dental Implants
For patients considering dental bridges, one option is to have the bridge supported by dental implants rather than relying solely on natural teeth.
This approach is particularly beneficial when only a few teeth are missing, as implant-supported crowns can provide a stable and long-lasting foundation for the bridge.
Unlike traditional bridges, which require the preparation of neighbouring teeth, implant-supported bridges preserve healthy tooth structure and distribute biting forces more evenly across the jaw.
Many patients find this option to be a more natural-feeling and durable solution for restoring their smile.
Treating Tooth Loss
Those suffering oral injury, gum disease or Periodontitis may lose teeth. Tooth loss should not be left untreated as further bone loss may occur. When tooth gaps exist, the remaining teeth on the dental arch attempt to compensate and start to shift out of their proper positions causing dental misalignment. Oral trauma is more likely to result because the gums of the tooth gap are exposed.
Our expressions formed by facial muscles are dependent on dental structure for support. Without a full set of teeth, facial volume may sink, giving a tired and drawn look or distorted expression. Dental implants restore teeth and smiles.
