The distinguishing feature of our clinic is its pioneering use of technology. In addition to paperless management of dental records, numerous technologies allow us to provide dental care comfortably, quickly and with great precision.
Dental Implants
Dental implants look like a type of screw and replace the roots of a tooth. The implant helps to keep a new tooth or dental prosthesis (fixed or removeable) in place. These implants are made from titanium or titanium alloys because titanium, unlike other metals, is more readily accepted by the body’s immune system and will not cause infection or other reactions.
Implants in modern dentistry
Dental implants are used in many ways nowadays:
- To support a crown when a single tooth is lost;
- To support a bridge when many teeth have fallen;
- To support a complete fixed denture;
- To support a complete removable denture;
- To stabilize a denture that moves too much.
Bone loss and premature aging
Losing one or more of your teeth starts a chain of events that can have dire physical and cosmetic consequences. One of the less obvious problem is bone loss.
When chewing food, the root of the teeth stimulates the jawbone. When a tooth is lost and is not replaced by an implant, the bone stimulation ceases and the bone mass decreases gradually. Over time, bone loss modifies the shape of the face and the following changes are observed:
- The distance between the chin and the tip of the nose is reduced;
- The chin appears to move forward;
- Decreased facial muscle tone;
- The lips get thinner.
