What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are an advanced dental treatment available to those patients suffering from missing teeth. It is made up of a small, screw-like post made of titanium, which is placed into the patient’s jawbone. This creates a strong foundation on which a replacement tooth in the form of a dental crown, bridge or denture can be placed.
Benefits of dental implants at Pine Dental & Aesthetics:
- Closing gaps and spaces between teeth
- Repairing chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth

1

for Dental Implants
Single Tooth Implant
A single tooth implant is a dental solution designed to replace one missing tooth. Unlike other tooth replacement options such as dental bridges, a single tooth implant does not rely on surrounding teeth for support. Instead, it stands independently, protecting your jawbone and maintaining the integrity of your smile.
Implant Bridge
Restoring multiple missing teeth with dental implants is an advanced approach that provides stability and a natural feel. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, which rest on the gums or rely on nearby teeth for support, multiple implants are securely anchored into the jawbone, acting as artificial roots for a lasting solution.

An implant-supported bridge is a restorative dental solution designed for patients with multiple missing teeth. Instead of relying on adjacent teeth, as with traditional bridges, dental implants are used as anchors for this kind of bridge. The bridge is supported by two or more implants placed in the jawbone, providing a secure foundation that mimics the function of natural tooth roots.

Dental Implants vs Dental Bridges and Dentures
If you are considering replacing your missing teeth, we have set out why dental implants are widely considered a better tooth replacement option than dentures and dental bridges.
Dental Implants vs Dental Bridges:
When it comes to dental bridges, support is given to the dental bridge from the adjacent teeth. The dentist may need to file down some of the supporting teeth to fit the bridge. Dental implants are independent and do not rely on other teeth. This means the other natural teeth can remain untouched.Dental Implants vs Dentures:
Dentures sit on top of the gum and are prone to slipping off and being uncomfortable for the patient. Whereas dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone which mean they are more secure and will not slip off.
Dental implants function like natural teeth making them much more functional and aesthetic than dentures or bridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Treat your dental implants the same way you would treat your natural teeth, so brush twice daily, floss regularly and visit the dentist and hygienist every 6 months. If you want to ensure you get the maximum amount of use from your dental implants then proper care and maintenance is crucial.
Dental implants are widely considered a better dental option for replacing missing teeth than dentures and dental bridges. Dentures sit on top of the gum and are prone to slipping off and being uncomfortable. Dental bridges require support from the adjacent teeth and may require preparation of a neighbouring tooth.
Dental implants are independent and the most natural feeling replacement for a tooth!
Provided they are carefully looked after, we would expect dental implants to last 20 to 30 years. In fact, it is quite common for patients to keep their implants for almost a lifetime.
A good candidate for dental implants is someone suffering from missing teeth or about to have a tooth extracted. However, before a decision can be made the implant dentist will do a full assessment to determine whether you are suitable for dental implants.
