At Artius Dental, we specialise in providing highly accurate planning and placement of dental implants.
We understand that losing a tooth is sometimes unavoidable and replacing it is essential for both your oral health and self-esteem.
Failure to do so can result in issues such as difficulty in speaking, chewing, and even continual loss of bone.
Our implantologists offer dental implants with exceptional stability, providing a long-term solution for missing teeth.
Dental implant therapy is a way of artificially replacing roots of missing teeth. They are a means of providing support for implant-supported crowns and bridges. A dentist is required to surgically place implants into your bone.
Dental implants are commonly preferred over dentures or bridges as they are seen as more comfortable and convenient as they do not have to be removed and remain stable when chewing.
Our dentists will carry out a thorough examination of your mouth and take necessary x-rays to determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implant.
All clinical information collected during the examination will then be digitally analysed by both our dentists and lab technicians to tailor a treatment plan that best suits you.
Following administration of local anaesthesia, a small cut is made to reflect the gums and expose the underlying bone. A dental implant can then be placed safely and precisely using a custom-made guide.
Who are the best candidates for dental implants?
Some patients who are candidates for dental implants are patients that:
- Have missing teeth
- Have gums and teeth that are healthy enough to withstand surgery
- Are healthy enough and don’t have other ongoing health conditions that prevent them from undergoing surgery or might affect post-surgical healing
What type of anaesthetic is used?
For implant dentistry, only local anaesthesia is needed.
Is there any downtime? What are the post-surgery procedures?
Most patients recover within a week with minimal complications. In exceptional cases, dental implants may fail due to infection around the surgical site or excessive force from the natural bite.
In order to reduce the risk, observe good dental hygiene habits and adhere to the follow up schedule prescribed by our dentist. Avoid putting unnecessary pressure on your implant by grinding your teeth or eating overly hard foods.
Will there be post-surgery complications?
Majority of the patients recover within the normal recovery time frame. In some exceptional cases, where the dental implants fail, arising from infection around the implant site or if their bites are not adjusted properly. This might also contribute to the implant failing.
In order to reduce the risk, observe good dental hygiene habits and adhere to the follow up schedule prescribed by our dentist. Avoid putting unnecessary pressure on your implant by grinding your teeth or eating overly hard foods.
