...The Better Treatment Option? 

There is nothing better than your own teeth! 

But when you are faced with deciding which type of replacement is right for you, there are two basic options available: you can either opt for a conventional solution (e.g. bridgework or dentures) or treatment with implants. The disadvantage of a bridge is having to grind down healthy adjacent teeth, while dentures involve covering large areas of the mucous membrane with plastic. As a result, the jawbone shrinks, greatly impairing retention over the years.

Implants are nowadays a tried and tested solution for functional yet aesthetic tooth replacement.

Overwie of the Benefit of Dental Implants:

• Healthy teeth do not need to be ground down
• Crowns, bridges or dentures are securely fixed in the jawbone
• Masticatory (chewing) function and aesthetics are restored
• Premature bone loss due to a lack of pressure stimulation is prevented
• Range of restoration options is extended; no sensation of a foreign body in the mouth
• Talking, eating and tasting as if with your own teeth
• Better quality of life for many years
