Dental Implants

If you are suffering from any number of tooth problems, including missing teeth, a subsequent of lack confidence when smiling, speaking or eating, trouble chewing properly, advanced gum disease or dentures that slip or cause sore spots or problems with existing crowns or bridges, then dental implants can provide an elegant solution to a wealth of issues.

Dental Implants are substitutes for natural teeth and offer a permanent and secure solution in replacing one or more teeth.

Implants can be placed in isolation or as part of a supporting function for other traditional forms of dentistry, such as crowns, bridges or dentures.

Dental implants are composed of a replacement tooth that is made a combination of biocompatible materials including titanium and porcelain. These materials serve to effectively reinstate the function and aesthetic appeal of your mouth, as the durable titanium metal forms the core strength of the ‘root’, while the porcelain or resin artificial tooth provides the structural and cosmetic finish to your teeth.

The process of placing the implant’s ‘root’ or unseen part of the tooth involves the titanium post being placed into the jawbone to act as the core strength to the tooth. Once the implant is in place, the abutment and crown are attached to replace the top part of the tooth.

Dental Implants are a highly effective method of improving your youthful appearance, restoring the function of your mouth, normalizing your bite pattern and improving your speech.

At Hartrick Dentistry, we will always provide you with the most thorough and personal advice for your specific treatment needs, and where we feel that your oral situation merits the use of dental implants, we are proud to provide you with the greatest level of care and attention to detail in your implant procedure.

Not every patient is a suitable candidate for dental implants, as some people have suffered too great a degree of underlying bone loss and subsequently lack the necessary support needed to implement the tooth. However, on analysis at Hartrick dentistry, we can provide you with the best advice in how to go forward in treatment of your individual condition.
