Restoration of Implants Pretoria

Once a placed implant has healed properly (usually 3 months in most cases) we put crowns/bridges over the implants.  In most of the single implant crown cases, we can manufacture and place the crown in one single visit, thanx to out state of the art computerized CAD/CAM technology.  These crowns contain no metal and is extremely aesthetic!

Dental implants (method of replacement missing teeth)If you have dentures you can now kiss them goodbye and replace them with permanent teethDental implants are definitely the method of choice when it comes to replacing missing teeth.We make use of our unique 3D Galileos CT scanner, made by Sirona Dental Systems in Germany, for the implant placement, where we can view your head, neck and jaw X-ray in a complete 3 dimensional manner within 10 minutes. This ultimate diagnostic tool makes the implant placements extremely safe and effective.Full upper and lower dentures can also be replaced by dental implant technology, even if you have worn your dentures for a very long time.

This treatment can be done when the tooth that has been removed are not actively infected and also when there is enough bone left to place the implant in.  The extraction site is usually a good place to put the implant in, because nature then shows us how deep the implant has to go, and there is already an opening for the implant. 

The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months. X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant. While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself onto the bone for up to six months. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the “post” that will hold the artificial tooth in place. With other implants the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the same time. After several weeks of healing the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. Because several fittings may be required, this step may take one to two months to complete. After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort to the patient.
