Implant Tooth | Replacing Missing Teeth – Icon Dental Clinic

Welcome to Icon Dental Clinic, where we transform lives one smile at a time. Missing teeth can significantly impact not just your smile but your overall health and confidence. At Icon Dental Clinic, we specialise in dental implants, a superior solution for restoring missing teeth, ensuring you regain both functionality and aesthetics.

Beyond the obvious cosmetic improvement, replacing missing teeth is crucial for maintaining proper oral health and overall well-being. Missing teeth can lead to a host of dental and medical issues, including jawbone deterioration, altered facial structure, and misalignment of the remaining teeth, which can cause difficulties in chewing and speaking. Dental implants offer a long-term solution, helping to preserve facial structure and reduce bone loss.

Dental implants have become the gold standard in tooth replacement due to their durability, functionality, and natural appearance. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants provide a permanent solution that can last a long time with proper care. At Icon Dental Clinic, we use state-of-the-art technology to deliver personalized care tailored to each patient's unique needs. Our experienced team is dedicated to ensuring that your journey to a restored smile is smooth and successful.

What are Dental Implants?

Surgery inserts titanium posts, called dental implants, into your jawbone. These implants act as replacement roots for missing teeth. Once in place, they allow for the attachment of a crown, bridge, or denture.

Components of a Dental Implant

• The Implant: A titanium screw that integrates with the bone.
• The Abutment: Connects the implant to the replacement teeth.
• The Crown: A custom-made cap that mimics the look and feel of natural teeth.

Advantages Over Other Tooth Replacement Options

Dental implants are superior to other tooth replacement options for several reasons:

• Durability: Implants are designed to last for many years , reducing the need for future dental work.
• Functionality: They restore bite force and allow natural chewing without slipping.
• Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth, enhancing aesthetics and confidence.
