Boost your brilliance
Our top-rated team and state of the art technology make getting an implant surprisingly comfortable. The implant treatment normally has two stages.
First, the support post must be placed in the jaw and the jaw allowed to heal. Once the healing has taken place, the replacement teeth are attached to the support post.
This may require more than one visit, First to surgically place the implant and then to fit the prosthetics. However, sometimes a single visit to the surgery can accomplish both fitting and placement.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are one way of replacing missing teeth.
A post is planted in the jaw bone to support a replacement tooth. This acts like the root of a natural tooth. Implants can also be used to support fixed bridges or dentures.

How many teeth can be replaced by implants?

What are the reasons to choose dental implants?
Implants are often the most predictable, beautiful, durable, and safe treatment available to replace a missing tooth or teeth.
How can I look after dental implants?
Dental implant maintenance is basically the same as for a natural tooth.
When your teeth are being professionally cleaned, there may be different instruments used, but the at-home care should not change.
Smoking should be avoided as this can affect the long term health of the area.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Successful implants allow for function to be restored in a long-lasting way, meaning a return to desired aesthetics and ability to eat most foods without difficulty.
What are the risks of dental implants?
Any surgical procedure has risks.
The most common is if the dental implant fails to “integrate” into the bone and is lost.
Common factors that affect this are smoking, diabetes, and poor at-home care. The second most common problem is called peri-implantitis, which is an infection around the dental implant, leading to possible loss of bone, or loss of the implant itself.
In the significant majority of cases, however, implants can last for many years, with nothing more than routine maintenance both at home and at regular dental visits.
How long does a dental implant last?
In dentistry we never say “forever,” but implants can last for many, many years if the patient remains healthy, does not smoke, and continues a regular schedule of dental visits.
At Pearl Fine Dental Care we pride ourselves on helping you achieve a long lasting smile.
