Why Implants

One of the many benefits of dental implants is they look, feel and function just like your natural teeth. They also provide an alternative solution to crowns, bridges or uncomfortable and loose dentures.

Dental Implants:

• helps to withstand greater bite pressure with dentures
• prevent bone loss in the jaw (this may reduce the risk of adjacent natural teeth becoming loose)
• prevent the formation of hollowed or collapsed cheeks that can occur after tooth extraction (missing teeth cause bone loss in the jaw)
• are usually surrounded by gum tissue like natural teeth
• may prevent gum recession
• unlike bridges, do not require the cutting and reshaping of neighbouring healthy teeth
• are firmly secured in the jaws
• are usually more comfortable than dentures
• usually do not require separate care routines or special cleaning products, as with dentures or bridges
• similar to natural teeth, dental implants require cleaning with dental floss and regular toothpaste brushing.

Poor oral hygiene can shorten the lifespan of a dental implant, despite its designed longevity alongside natural teeth and gum tissue.

If you’re missing one tooth or several teeth, schedule a consultation appointment with Dr Hollander to discuss how dental implants could restore your smile and your confidence.

* Any surgical or invasive procedure such as dental implants carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
