Dental Implants are exceedingly valuable in replacing missing or damaged teeth, restoring both function and confidence. With modern advances in materials, implants have proven to be one of the most successful dental procedures with excellent long term success.
A dental implant is a titanium surgical component that integrates with bone to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge or denture. The implant fixture is placed in the bone and left for a few weeks to allow for biological integration with the bone. Once this is achieved, a suitable prosthesis can be placed on the implant.
Various factors need to be considered before placing an implant. These include patient health, medications, bone quality and quantity and restorative requirements.
Implant Planning Prior to Placement
Our state of the art 3-Dimensional Imaging allows us the advantage of implant planning prior to placement. The most ideal site, based on the height and thickness of available bone, can be selected, as well as the most optimally sized implant fixture for that specific location before even putting drill to bone. Giving both the patient and the surgeon peace of mind.
Bicon - The Atraumatic Implant System
Instead of screwing an implant into bone, causing pain, bone damage and the possibility of fracture, we utilise the atraumatic Bicon implant system. These implants are simply placed into a prepared well of healthy bone, allowing the stimulation of new bone growth. Its pain free, quick and easy and allows for quicker bone integration and faster recovery time.
