Benefits of dental implants
Look & function of natural teeth
After treatment (known as a restoration) and integration with the surrounding bone (known as osseointegration), your implants will be indistinguishable from your natural teeth – they will look and function like natural teeth.
01
Inclusive treatment for everyone
Anyone with mature teeth can receive implants, covering young adults with congenitally missing teeth, adults who have suffered a trauma (accident) causing tooth loss, denture users, or people who suffer with uncomfortable or conspicuous bridges or partials. The only restriction is serious health conditions
02
Maintain your facial contours
Similar to natural teeth, dental implants provide important support to the jaw bone and gums.
Without such support, over time the jaw bone and surrounding soft tissue begin to shrink (known as resorption), creating a prematurely aged and sunken facial appearance.
03
Restore your natural smile
The quality of current prosthetics means that no one can distinguish your natural teeth from dental implants.
Recover your lost confidence and smile.
04
Perform like natural teeth
As implants perform just like natural teeth, you can bite and chew comfortably without the discomfort of conventional dentures.
Implants also help to protect your adjacent natural teeth, prevent gum damage and loss, and keep your jaw healthy.
Dental Implant / Denture / Bridge?
Dental Implant: essentially an artificial tooth root that is planted in the jaw and integrates with the surrounding bone to create a strong foundation. The prosthetic is then connected to the implant.
Denture: removable prosthetic that sits on top of the gums.
Fixed Bridge: replaces several lost teeth and is anchored to adjacent natural teeth.

Denture
Fixed Bridge
| Dental Implant | Denture | Fixed Bridge | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial procedure |
|
Take impression of toothless (edentulous) gum (gingiva) to create custom denture | Trim neighboring natural teeth to support prosthesis |
| Aesthetic (appearance) | Look & function of natural teeth | May cause some wrinkles on face | Can result in poor aesthetics caused by gold / silver prosthetics |
| Lifespan |
|
Adjustments/ replacements will be needed every 3-4 years | Adjustments/ replacements will be needed every 5-10 years |
| Risk of negative side effects | None — as implant is only required in space of missing tooth | Bone resorption | Neighboring teeth will be damaged at initial placement & with each further adjustment |
| Treatment time | 3-6 months in ideal situation | Short treatment | Short treatment |
| Cost | Higher initial cost, yet rare need for follow-up care | Initial cost is lower, but repeated adjustments incur additional fees | Initial cost is lower, but repeated adjustments incur additional fees |
