In the event of loss of teeth, Dental Implants could provide you with teeth that look and feel like your own. Implants improve your aesthetic appearance as well as your health and chewing function.

With age, bone loss and facial changes occur. Dental Implants assist in preserving facial bone.

Dental Implants Cape Town – Am I suitable for Dental Implants?

Any patient who is in good health is a good candidate for Dental Implants. X-rays and, in some cases, CT scans, will be taken to assess quantity and quality of bone.

After tooth loss, the jawbone starts to shrink which, in the case of a denture wearer, gradually affects the fit of the denture.

Implants reduce the amount of bone loss as they transmit force/energy onto the bone when chewing. This stimulates bone maintenance.

Best aesthetic results are obtained when Dental Implants are places as soon as possible after tooth loss.
