Implants
Third
set of teeth - Your last chance
In
the past a man's life span depended partly on how well he looked after
his teeth,
or at least how well the teeth survived the ravishing of his tough diet.
At
puberty there is a change-over from milk teeth
to adult teeth
When
a permanent tooth is lost there is no tooth to erupt
to take its place, but placing implants is the modern way
to give us a fresh start , a final chance at good healthy
teeth and gums, and dental implants well mimick natural teeth
Tooth
extraction often causes a multitude of problems:for example teeth movement
and arch collapse and bone loss to the jaws.
Commonly teeth drift forwards,
change their angulation and gum pockets develop resulting in chronic gum
(periodontal) disease.
Implants
are very similar in size and shape to natural tooth roots, so placing
implants at the time of extraction, or after a short healing period,
prevents all the above mentioned complications.

preventing over-heating or over-drilling.
