WHAT WE DO

Dental Implants

Don’t ignore missing teeth!
As people live longer and have more active lives, losing even a single tooth prematurely can be extremely upsetting. The loss of any tooth is a cosmetic and a functional problem but it may also become a long term health issue. In fact, the teeth do not function alone. They are part of an integrated and complex neuro-skeletal-muscular system, where each component plays an important role. Every single tooth ensures, for example that the remaining teeth stay aligned, which in turn allows for the correct chewing of foods. When a tooth is missing, healthy teeth tend to change position, which may cause occlusion and articulation disorders in the future. Missing teeth also cause a loss of bone from the jaws, because the bone is no longer stimulated during chewing which often results in further tooth loss.
Physical changes in Facial appearance are also frequent as a result of bone loss and/or the collapse of the cheeks and lips into these spaces which teeth previously occupied. People often look older than they really are and in extreme cases develop speech impediments .
Why implants?
Dental implantology offers a wide range of solutions to replace missing teeth. Adapted to each case, these solutions allow you to improve the quality of your life, your smile and your self-confidence.
Dental Implantology is the single most important development in everyday dental practice in the last 50 years. They are a solution to restore aesthetics and function almost as perfectly as natural teeth.
 
  • Implants are artificial roots which act like natural teeth. You do not feel almost any difference
  • Implants are made of titanium, a biocompatible material, not rejected by the human body
  • Implants maintain natural bone by stabilising bone levels in the jaw and minimising further bone loss
  • Implants are inserted through a quick and minimally invasive procedure
  •  Unlike conventional dental bridges, the healthy adjacent teeth are left untouched and are easy to clean
  • Implants are anchored into the jawbone. In turn the prosthesis is fixed to the implant. This configuration provides stability and comfort unlike dentures which generally do not fit properly, create social embarrassment if they fall out whilst eating, induce gum inflammation due to friction, create chewing imbalances and more often than not create speech impediments.
  • With proper care and an oral hygiene program, implants are durable solutions for the restoration of your smile.

Microbiological Profiling of Oral Diseases

Periodontitis and Peri-implantitis are infectious diseases. Their major cause is a unique group of perio-pathogenic bacteria. These bacteria actively destroy tissue, cause inflammatory reactions and in the end, are responsible for the loss of teeth and implants. To ensure long-term success, therapy requires a targeted elimination of these bacteria. State of the art Hain Life-Sciences International Testing Systems represent the optimal basis for the design of individual therapy which is normally a combination of mechanical forms of therapy and adjunctive systemic or local Antibiotic administration. In depth microbiological studies significantly increases the success rate of therapy whilst the relapse rate is dramatically reduced.

WHY WE DO IT

 

The importance of a healthy smile
A healthy and natural smile has a considerable positive impact on your appearance, daily life and self-confidence. Today, millions of people all over the world are affected by missing, decayed and poorly aligned teeth attributed to natural ageing processes, accidents and trauma, disease and many other factors. Regardless of the causes, poor oral health has a devastating impact on the quality of your life and your general wellbeing. Poor oral health restricts the pleasure of eating your favourite foods and often affects your social relationships. In more extreme cases you may feel incapable or embarrassed to smile.
We are here to ensure that you always have a healthy, radiant smile or to build a new smile for you !
