Dental implants are an effective, long-term solution for those who have suffered from tooth loss. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to an injury or a dental health problem, we’re positive that we will be able to offer you a solution. We understand that tooth loss can be more than just an inconvenience, quite often it impacts the way a person lives their lives; they press their lips together when they smile and mumble when they talk, all to try and hide their teeth.
Living with a gap in your teeth is not a nice experience, but it can also impact on your overall health and cause digestion issues.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically screwed into your jaw bone that acts as a foundation for a natural-looking false tooth. This technique can be used to replace single or multiple missing teeth, and can also provide for denture, thus solving the inconvenience caused by loose or ill fitting dentures.
A natural tooth consists of a tooth root, which firmly sits in the jawbone, and a tooth crown, which is the visible upper part of the tooth.
A dental implant replaces a natural tooth root. It is a small, but strong post made of biocompatible metals or ceramics that is inserted into the jawbone in place of a tooth root. The implant acts as a base for fixing single crowns, multiple tooth bridges, or can be used as an anchor for entire dental prostheses.
Dental implants are a great option thanks to their durability and the little maintenance they require after they’ve been fitted. They’re favoured by many, not only because of their natural appearance but also because a temporary solution can be provided to you within one day.
The whole treatment is completely bespoke to your needs and although you will be given temporary teeth on the day of treatment, the final restorations can not be fitted until the gums are completely healed and the bone has fused to the new fittings; this normally takes around four months.
After this time, you’ll be required to attend a handful of appointments to ensure the implant sits completely naturally in your mouth, ensuring a natural bite and a beautiful smile.
Preserve your jawbone and facial structure
Our natural teeth help bone to remain strong and healthy. The forces we generate as we chew transmit through the tooth roots to the bone, which stimulates the maintenance of bone density. If a tooth is missing, the bone around it doesn’t receive this stimulation and may begin to slowly recede over time. With shrinking bone, the shape of your face may also change over time.
Dental implants transmit chewing forces to the jawbone which helps to maintain a healthy jaw and therefore preserve your facial structure.
Help your smile and self-confidence
A dental implant solution looks and feels like your natural teeth – there is simply no visible difference. You can feel more comfortable talking, smiling, eating and kissing too.
Help function
Dental implants are anchored as secure as a natural tooth in the bone. Together with the prosthetic part you can bite and chew naturally again and eat the food you like.
The cost of dental implant treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case. Implants are a cost-effective alternative to conventional restorations and improve the quality of life.1-3
Straumann® implants are made to be durable and long-lasting, so a Straumann® implant treatment solution is a long-term investment in your health and future comfort.
Before treatment, an initial diagnosis and cost plan is determined by your dentist. Costs depend on how many implants are needed and whether sufficient bone is available. Other factors may include special surgical needs, unique lab work, prosthesis and the dentist’s and dental technician’s fees.
It is best to speak to your dentist directly and ask about suitable options that fit your needs.

For decades Straumann® has innovated in design, technology, materials, software, processes and treatment procedures in dental implant solutions. They have set high global standards for implants.
They strive to make the best, most reliable implant solutions and you can count on our efforts to increase your chances for a healthy recovery and comfort.
Today, implant therapy is an established standard for tooth replacement. It is well documented that implants are a safe and successful method of treatment.
Even though implants are very common, potential risks can vary depending on your health. Bad oral hygiene or limited healing due to pre-existing medical conditions may affect your recovery and the durability of an implant.
Your dentist will do a thorough assessment if implant treatment is the right choice for you.
Today’s techniques are being continually improved to reduce discomfort and enhance recovery. Experts are trained to provide the best care and the most innovative techniques to insert implants.
Implants are usually inserted under local anesthesia to avoid discomfort during treatment. In order to provide the fastest and best recovery, it is important to follow the recommendations of your dentist. No matter your fears, there is an array of successful techniques to prevent or alleviate pain. Do not hesitate to talk to your dentist.
For young patients it is possible to insert implants as soon as your jaw has stopped growing. At the other end of the spectrum, there is no age limit, given of course that you don’t display any significant medical risk factors and are a suitable candidate for implant treatment.
As always, oral hygiene is very important to the health of your teeth. This is even more true after you have an implant. Diligent oral hygiene helps to ensure the healthiest and fastest recovery. You should care for your teeth on a daily basis and follow the recommendations of your dentist. And you will have to regularly visit your dentist for checkups on your implants.
