Dental implantology is a new branch of dentistry which
involves the reconstruction of missing teeth and
their supporting structures.
In 1952, Professor
Per-Ingvar Branemark, a Swedish surgeon, whilst conducting
research into the healing patterns of bone tissue,
accidentally discovered that when pure titanium comes
into direct contact with the living bone tissue, the
two literally grow together to form a permanent biological
adhesion. He named this phenomenon "osseointegration".
Today, modern dental implants, developed from the principles
of osseointegration are routinely used in hundreds
of clinics and hospitals world-wide, and sought after
by thousands of patients because they have been proven
to provide comfortable, permanent and attractive tooth
replacements as an alternative to removable dentures
and conventional bridges.
• Implants
bond biologically to the living bone tissue.
• Once united with the bone, they support your
teeth firmly and safely.
• Implants restore function and aesthetics to
normal levels.
• Eating, talking and chewing need no longer
be painful experiences.
• Dental implants prevent progressive bone atrophy
and shrinkage.
If you are missing
one or more of your natural teeth, you may benefit
from dental implants
Implants can support
single or multiple crowns or bridge work or any combination
of these. |
