What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are revolutionary solutions for replacing missing teeth. They consist of titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone, serving as sturdy anchors for artificial teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

• Natural Look and Feel: Implants mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, providing a seamless smile.
• Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, offering a long-term solution for tooth loss.
• Preservation of Jawbone: Implants stimulate bone growth, preventing deterioration and maintaining facial structure.
• Enhanced Confidence: Enjoy the freedom to eat, speak, and laugh without worrying about slipping dentures or gaps in your smile.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Princess Elizabeth Dental. During this visit, our experienced team will assess your oral health, discuss treatment options, and address any concerns you may have.

Implant Placement

Once you decide to proceed with dental implants, the next step is the surgical placement of the titanium posts. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia for your comfort.

Osseointegration

After implant placement, a process called osseointegration occurs, during which the titanium posts fuse with the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the artificial teeth.

Restoration

Once osseointegration is complete, custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures are attached to the implants, restoring your smile to its full beauty and functionality.
