What are Dental Implants?

At Serenity Dental Care, we are committed to providing personalised care throughout your dental implant journey.

Single Tooth Implants

Single tooth implants are an effective solution for replacing one missing tooth while preserving the surrounding teeth. This procedure involves inserting a titanium post into the jawbone, acting as a strong foundation for a custom-made crown that matches your natural teeth. Single tooth implants not only restore your smile but also prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure.

At Serenity Dental Care, our experienced team ensures a comfortable experience, guiding you through every step of the process for optimal results.

Multiple Teeth Implants

Multiple teeth implants provide a reliable solution for replacing several missing teeth, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. This procedure involves placing titanium posts into the jawbone, which serve as anchors for custom-made bridges or dentures. By restoring multiple teeth, you can enjoy improved chewing ability and a natural-looking smile. Multiple teeth implants also help prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure.

At Serenity Dental Care, our dedicated team will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction throughout the process.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures provide a secure and comfortable solution for individuals with missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip and cause discomfort, these dentures are anchored by dental implants embedded in the jawbone. This offers improved stability, function, and aesthetics.

With implant-supported dentures, you can enjoy a natural-looking smile and regain the ability to chew and speak with confidence. This option also helps prevent bone loss in the jaw, promoting overall oral health and maintaining facial structure.

Step 1

Initial Consultation & Planning

The journey begins with a thorough consultation, where the dentist assesses your oral health, discusses your medical history, and takes diagnostic imaging such as X-rays or 3D scans. This step is crucial for evaluating the jawbone’s condition and determining the precise location for the implants.

Based on the findings, a tailored treatment plan is developed, outlining the timeline, costs, and specific procedures required.

Step 2

Implant Placement Surgery

During the implant placement surgery, the dentist will administer local anaesthetic or sedation for your comfort. A small incision is made in the gum tissue to expose the jawbone. The titanium implant, designed to mimic the natural tooth root, is then carefully inserted into the bone.

Once placed, the gum tissue is sutured around the implant, and a healing period of several months is typically required for osseointegration, where the bone fuses with the implant, ensuring a secure foundation.

Abutment Placement

After the healing period, a follow-up appointment is scheduled to place the abutment, which serves as a connector between the implant and the final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture). During this procedure, the dentist reopens the gum tissue to expose the top of the implant and attaches the abutment.

Once the gums heal around the abutment, which usually takes a couple of weeks, impressions are taken to create the custom restoration.

Step 4

Final Restoration Placement

The final step involves placing the custom-made restoration, which is designed to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth. The dentist carefully affixes the restoration to the abutment, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural appearance.

After final adjustments, you’ll receive care instructions to maintain your dental implants. With proper care, dental implants can last for many years, providing a durable and functional solution for missing teeth.
