Will my teeth look like my own?

Yes!  It usually takes a dentist to spot the difference. They will look so much like your own

Will my new teeth feel like my own?

Yes! Since the dental implants are anchored in your jawbone, they function as your ordinary teeth when you are chewing, talking and laughing. Most people do not feel any difference between their natural teeth and the new ones.

Does my age matter?

Your age is normally not relevant - more important is your health. But if you are under eighteen, you must be examined to make sure you have finished growing before you can undergo implant treatment

Can I keep my other teeth?

 Yes, of course. With Dental Implants you don’t have to sacrifice healthy teeth to restore missing ones. Unlike conventional bridges or partial dentures no adjacent teeth are affected or needed for support.

How do I take care of my new teeth?

Thorough daily brushing and flossing is essential to ensure a long lasting result. Your dentist or dental hygienist will show you the proper way to take care of your new teeth, just as you take care of your natural teeth

Having an implant treatment is an investment in your future and quality of life. To have new teeth that feel like your own is a highly valued experience. It is a great and affordable treatment that will save you from other dental expenses in the future.

How long do I have to be off work?

After the implants have been installed, some swelling or bruising is normal. However, most people are able to go back to work the next day.

Do I have to stop smoking?

It is highly recommended to stop smoking. Smoking affects the healing process and may reduce the long-term prognosis

Can coffee, tea or wine damage or discolor my new teeth?

No more than they would natural teeth. Your dentist will recommend what kind of toothpaste to prevent this.

How safe are dental implants?

Extensive clinical studies show positive long-term results for dental implants. The unique design and the TiOblastTM surface give superior strength and ensure that the teeth stay securely in place.  The threads on the fixture anchor the implant and preserve the bone. This maintains the soft tissue contour which is important for a natural look.

Why are the screws made of titanium?

Titanium is a metal accepted by the body. The process by which the bone grows onto the metal in a very close, “integrated” way is known as osseointegration.
