Implants are one of the most amazing discoveries ever to be made in the realm of dentistry.

They are the closest thing to a real tooth, making them the most favourable long-term method of treatment.

What are single dental implants?

A single implant is a titanium post that replaces a natural tooth root that has failed. It could be that a tooth has become loose because the gum beneath it is being attacked by gum disease, it is severely decayed, or it has been knocked out.

Quick-fire benefits

  • Replace missing teeth with a potentially permanent solution.
  • They offer an incredible level of stability – you’ll be able to eat and talk completely normally.
  • You will no longer have to put up with gaps in your smile.
  • A bespoke crown is custom-made for your implant.
  • Implants protect you from jawbone recession.

FAQs

Why are dental implants superior to other tooth replacement treatments?

Implants are different to any other way of replacing missing teeth. The fact that they’re placed directly into the jaw via surgery is paramount to why they’re a long-term (if not permanent) solution.

Titanium is known for being compatible with the human body, making it the perfect material from which to create replacement tooth roots, AKA dental implants. Once your implant is placed, the bone tissue in your jaw readily grows around the implant so that the implant essentially becomes your new tooth root. This means your bone tissue can remain strong, stable and present.

Unfortunately, once a tooth is lost, or you opt for non-implant-based treatments, the bone doesn’t have the capacity to stay busy and therefore recedes away.

Implants make sure this doesn’t happen by completely replacing the root of a tooth.

Why are Neoss implants a great choice?

As a team of professionals who are dedicated to offering the most cutting-edge tooth replacement solutions, it made perfect sense for us to partner with Neoss, which is a true innovator in the field of dental implants.

The Neoss system is a patented implant system which uses fewer prosthetic components, therefore reducing the likelihood of mechanical failure. This makes the brand extremely reliable.

The engineering behind Neoss implants encompasses a super-hydrophilic pro-active surface, which simply means the implant surface attracts the maximum bone surface. This accelerates the bone fusion process, streamlining your treatment experience. Bone healing capability is also more efficient thanks to the brand’s carefully controlled production and packing process, which minimises carbon absorption and can lengthen the healing process.

How are single implants placed?

To place an implant, we need to surgically place them into the jaw. This is carried out under local anaesthetic.

Once the implant is placed, your jaw can begin to heal, which takes between 3 and 6 months. During this healing time, your jawbone secures itself to the implant.
