Dentures are not the only option for replacing missing teeth. With dental implants from Dr Vipul Patel you can customize your smile to include single or multiple replacement teeth.
“When you see Dr Vipul, you can be involved in everything, from the shape to the colour of your new teeth.”
Dental implants can be used to replace a missing natural tooth/teeth. A dental-grade titanium post/fixture is used to replace a lost tooth root. After the implant has healed and integrated with the bone, a beautiful prosthetic tooth is placed on it to complete your smile.
Dental Implants with Dr Vipul
As with all dental treatment, there are numerous treatment options to suit your individual circumstances. During your in-depth consultation, Dr Vipul will happily guide you through your options to complete your smile.
Why dental implants?
Implants serve a variety of purposes. As a result of thirty years of academic and clinical experience and well-documented examples, dental implants are routinely used to replace missing teeth in the mouth. Dentures can be replaced with implants – the closest thing you can get to a natural tooth. As opposed to dental bridges, it does not rely on neighbouring teeth for support.
Digital Workflows and Guided Implant Surgery
Dr Patel makes use of CBCT, digital scanners and CAD/CAM for truly bespoke and accurate implant solutions. Digital technologies allow for custom-built guide templates that aid in risk reduction and improved healing for patients.
All-on-Four/All-on-Six Same Day Teeth
Replace a tooth in an arch or a group of teeth using these implants. Many treatments can be completed the same day and used right away. There are numerous benefits to All-on-Four/All-on-Six, such as faster healing and a greater success rate in treating entire arches without bone grafting.
Implant retained dentures may be a great option for those accustomed to dentures, but who desire more stability. Dentures connected to implants are called implant-retained dentures, which function like pop buttons in that they keep dentures in place as you go about your day. Implants are especially helpful for dentures with low suction and retention.
Single Tooth Implants
Implants like these replace a single missing tooth. Single tooth implants may be the ideal option for patients that would rather not replace their lost teeth with a bridge or denture. Implants may be augmented in the future if adjacent teeth are lost without requiring further surgery.
Bone Grafting
Bone serves as the foundation for a dental implant. For a dental implant to be successful and long-lasting, there must be enough bone mass in the jaw for placement. Dr. Patel can conduct bone graft surgery when there is insufficient bone to successfully place an implant. Bone grafts broaden and heighten the bone at the implant location (where the implant needs to be placed.)
Immediate Implants
Where possible, Dr Patel seeks to provide same-day implants. These immediate implants are placed on the same day that the natural tooth is removed – cutting out months of healing time and potential bone loss.
