Dental implants abroad

If you have lost one or more teeth through decay, mouth trauma, disease or root canal failure, it is possible to replace the tooth artificially and if done correctly, the dental implant will be indistinguishable from your natural teeth and offer a permanent solution.

The dental implant is usually made from a titanium screw that is implanted into the jaw bone, covered with a protective layer and then left to heal and imbed into the jaw over a period of a few months. After this a temporary crown will be put on the screw and the gum area allowed to adjust to the new dental implant. At a later date this temporary crown is replaced for the final, permanent implant.

Fitting a single dental implant to replace one missing tooth is a simple procedure that can be completed in a matter of an hour. Dental implants are available to most people except children and people suffering from certain diseases. In over 95% of cases the implant will take and will last for many years. In a small number of cases the implant may irate the person’s gum and have to be removed and replaced with another.

Dental implants look and feel like your own natural teeth and as they are integrated into your jaw bone, they prevent the loss of bone and recession of the gums sometimes associated with dentures. Dental implants do not affect your other teeth and will improve your confidence as you will be able to eat and speak normally again.
