Dental Implants are a permanent titanium fixture in your jaw bone. Whether it is a single tooth or implant retained dentures, they are an advanced solution for many dental problems. Remember what it feels like to have normal teeth back or restore your function you have lost over the years. It could be following an accident or a tooth that is failing.
Dental Implants are suitable for a majority of patients and can offer solutions that patients aren't even aware of. Not only does it give you your missing teeth back, but also reduces the risk of further teeth failing by preventing your remaining teeth from being overloaded. With regular maintenance treatments, you can potentially make the Implants last for decades saving you time, money and further dental issues.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised at the whole process and are amazed how little pain and simple the procedure can be.
The majority of patients are suitable for implants as long as they have sufficient bone. We stock a wide variety of implants to select the most suitable implant for your jaw. Dr McCauley is very experienced and is able to offer additional treatments such as bone grafting and sinus lifts if you require additional treatment to make implants possible. Please rest assured most patients can have implants without these procedures however it sounds a lot scarier than it actually is.
Click here for Referral FormWe require an initial consultation to check your suitability and plan your dental treatment. To start the procedure a screw is placed into the jawbone and left for 6-8 weeks to integrate into the bone and heal. When returning to us after this period we take an impression of your implant which is sent to the laboratory. They will custom make your crown/bridge/denture which we fit approximately 3 weeks later.
All cases are treated individually however this is an approximate guideline. At the fit appointment a component called an abutment is attached to the screw and the crown/bridge cemented on top. The abutment is the anchor for the dental crown or dentures that will be fitted.
