| Implant Dentistry is a cosmetic breakthrough
for people with missing teeth.
The most advanced and effective solution for people with missing teeth is a dental implant. It provides a permanent solution to patients recapturing the
aesthetic and functional nature of your smile.
Active Dental understands that a loss of a tooth can have a significant impact on the well-being of your mouth and smile and how you feel about yourself. Dental Implants are surgically inserted directly into the jawbone,
acting as an anchor for replacement teeth such as crowns and veneers.
Over time the jawbone will attach itself to the Implant, enabling
replacement teeth to be permanently fastened into place. Dental implants
follow straightforward principles regardless of the patient or the
exact demand of the implant. Each implant has two stages, the fixture
and the restoration. The fixture is made of titanium and it is fixed
into the bone where the root of the missing tooth was. The restoration
is then attached to the fixture above the gum and takes the shape of a
tooth.
Stage 1: Fixtures
are surgically inserted directly into the jawbone, acting as an anchor
for replacement teeth such as crowns and veneers. Over time the jawbone
will attach itself to the Implant, enabling replacement teeth to be
permanently fastened into place. This fixture will be very sturdy and
often lasts for a lifetime with proper care and visits to your dentist.
Stage 2: Restorations have improved greatly over the last few years with tooth
coloured restorations creating natural looking teeth and hiding the
fact that previously no tooth existed there. Ceramic and porcelain
restoration are not commonplace and can be completed in one appointment
with CEREC technology.
CEREC is
a superior method of creating precisely designed, colour-matched and
highly durable ceramic restorations is available directly from our
practice in one appointment. CEREC, and other tooth coloured restorations can be attached directly onto an implant fixture to create the perfect smile. "I have been so happy with the implant that Dr Moffet has done for me.
There has been no pain or discomfort and I have been able to eat
easily. I was never totally happy having a bridge to fill my missing
tooth. When Dr Moffet told me about the option of having an implant I
was very excited. I would thoroughly recommend seeing only Dr Moffet if you are
considering an implant. I would also recommend having an implant
instead of a bridge any day! Thank you Dr Moffet for looking after me."- Beth Bright
