Tooth Replacement Treatments
For many of us, implant treatment for missing teeth is a new concept; something we never imagined possible. In an age of medical breakthroughs and longer, healthier living, it shouldn’t be surprising that lost teeth no longer means dentures floating in a glass. Science offers a better solution. What began as a treatment for people with no teeth and little hope of normal function, has now developed to benefit virtually any dental situation.
Some treatments for tooth replacement include full upper replacement, full lower replacement, single tooth replacement, front teeth replacement. Talk to your dentist about the tooth replacement systems that will best suit your individual needs.
Full Upper Replacement Treatment
Life with a full denture means more than just missing your teeth. Problems associated with a denture extend far beyond tooth loss, affecting comfort, ability to chew foods, even self-image and social considerations. The challenge is to provide stable functions, without using denture adhesives, that will fullfil your expectations for appearance, confidence and security.
Step One
The first step is the placement of the titanium implants. The implants will remain covered underneath the gum for approximately 6 months. During this time, osseointegration should take place.
Step Two
The second step of the procedure involves uncovering the implants and attaching extensions. This completes the foundation on which your new teeth will be placed.
Step Three
The final step is the placement of your new teeth. With techniques that ensure optimal size, shape, colour and fit, they will blend with your facial characteristics, while providing support needed for a natural appearance.
