When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone that holds the tooth in place will diminish in height, width, and volume. This may affect the immediate and final appearance of the gum tissue in this area and possibly the surrounding teeth. The larger the width of bone or the height of the bone, the wider and longer implant can be. A wider and longer implant increases implant stability and thus success. We assess the bone height and width by taking digital radiographs or by taking a CT Scan. More.

Maintenance

Keeping your oral condition and implants healthy long after implantation.

Maintaining Your Implants

The maintenance of implants is about ensuring the gum health around the implants is excellent.

Films of bacteria called Biofilm appear on implants as quickly as they do on teeth.

The major problem is that this biofilm on implants is resistant to antibiotics and antiseptics. Hence, the biofilm can damage the tissues that keep the implant in place.

Thus, the accuracy of the cleaning of your teeth and implants is very vital.

Oral hygiene and implant care are vital after the final crowns, bridges or denture placement and during the healing (osseointegration) phase.

Dental Implant placement requires the patient’s gums to be healthy before implant placement and at least six month healing period after any gum (periodontal) treatment.

No Smoking

Studies have shown that patients who smoke and patients with previous poor gum health (periodontal health) occurrence have a reduced success rate to patients who are not smokers and with no previous gum health problems.

We prefer to re-assess and monitor the implants more frequently on patients who smoke and patients with previous poor gum health. Thus we recommend that you stop smoking before and after any implant treatment.

We recommend that you have regular hygiene treatment at least every six months. For those patients who have had gum disease before starting the treatment, hygiene treatment is recommended every three months.

We also recommend an annual examination and a regular radiograph to check the implant treatment.

At the examination, we look for signs of gum disease or Peri-Implantitis. We also assess the bite as the movement of natural teeth may change the dynamics of the bite, which may create an overload from the implant.

The x-ray allows us to check if there is any bone loss around the thread of the implants, using each thread as a relative measurement.

If there is bone loss, we need to determine the cause and address this as soon as possible.

Pain-free

Comfortable treatments

At The Perfect Smile, we understand that patients may be naturally nervous when thinking of undergoing dental implant surgery.

We want to reassure you that the dental implant treatment is not painful due to the proper use of local anaesthetics to numb the bone and gum deeply.

We can also use sedation techniques that also contribute to no pain or discomfort. More.

Bone Quality

Insufficient Bone

When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone that holds the tooth in place will diminish in height, width, and volume. This may affect the immediate and final appearance of the gum tissue in this area and possibly the surrounding teeth.
The larger the width of bone or the height of the bone, the wider and longer implant can be. A wider and longer implant increases implant stability and thus success. We assess the bone height and width by taking digital radiographs or by taking a CT Scan. More.

Implant Costs

The price of a dental implant can depend on whether any further treatments are needed to make sure your implant is a success.

Successful Dental Implants Can Last a Lifetime

Once the implant has fused with your jawbone and tissues, the artificial titanium implant acts as an ordinary root.

When we implant a titanium implant into the jawbone, it becomes part of your oral foundation.

This offers several health benefits that include preventing any bone loss whilst supporting the jawbone structure and reducing the risk of gum disease. More.

“If treated correctly, dental implants can last from ten to twenty-five years or more.”

Dental implants can help with:

Teeth lost to trauma, accident or injury
Missing teeth caused by gum disease or lack of bone
Replace old, worn or broken dentures
Implant integrated treatments like Implant-Retained Dentures
Removable and fixed options
Replace individual tooth loss or full arches in one sitting

The longevity of your implant depends on how you improve and maintain your oral health. Read more.
