DENTAL IMPLANTS
Single dental implant
If you have a missing tooth we are able to provide a single tooth implant where a titanium screw is inserted into your bone to provide maximum stability. A crown is then attached to this. The implant crown will blend naturally with the rest of your teeth and your smile will be restored!
Multiple tooth replacement
Dental implants can be placed to support fixed bridges and dentures. A fixed bridge could be from two dental implants supporting a 3 unit bridge (three teeth in total) or a 4-8 dental implants in each arch supporting a row of 10-12 teeth. An arch is an upper or lower jaw. Alternatively a denture can be supported with 2, 4 or 6 dental implants depending on which arch. The denture is fitted with attachments that connect with the dental implants – the denture will be removable but stable and secure.
Smart fix concept
With the ‘SmartFix concept’ patients can benefit from an immediate implant-supported restoration, as a provisional prosthesis is screwed onto the implants on the day of treatment. Final solutions for the SmartFix treatment concept include both fixed prostheses (bridges) and removable solutions (secure dentures).
Safe surgical guides for implant placement
Our surgical guides are used during computer guided surgery cases. The guides are 3D printed and are specific to your individual 3D scan. Advantages of using a surgical guide are:
- Transferring all of your implant planning from the digital software to the surgery
- Keyhole surgery which is less invasive
- No stitches or maybe a miniflap
- Reduced surgery time
- Reduced post-operation discomfort
Immediate dental implants
Patient depending, it may be possible to surgically place the dental implant and fit a temporary restoration during the same surgery. This treatment requires accurate planning and no infection present prior to work commencing.
3D digital implant planning, computer guided implant surgery
Computer guided implant surgery uses the latest dental technology to plan the implant surgery and the position of the final restoration on a computer using the patient’s CT image. Computer guided implant surgery allows the dentist to virtually diagnose a patient and plan implant cases in a 3D tutorial. Surgeon’s are then able to accurately transfer those virtual plans to the patient’s mouth using an implant surgical guide made from 3D printing technology.
