bridges or dentures.
Restores appearance
Dental implant restoration look like your own teeth.
Long lasting
Unlike natural teeth, implants do not decay. With good health and good oral hygiene,
implant can last very long, almost a life time.
Generally, all healthy patients can have implants as long as they have bone.
Patients who have insufficient bone can still have implant treatment with bone
grafting to bulk out their bone mass. Bone grafting and implant placement can be
done simultaneously or as separate procedures.
Patients with severe diabetes, heavy smokers and with history of previous head and
neck radiotherapy are advised to consult your dentists to evaluate your suitability for
implants.
No patient is too old to have implants. However, very young patients who are still
growing are advised to delay implant placement until the end of their growth spurt.
