If only one tooth is missing, why cut down two perfectly good teeth to build a
bridge? Fhen for the same cost you can get back what you have lost. The implant
is a screw shaped fixture that is placed with a precise surgical technique in an
area of adequate bone. The implants we use are hydroxyappetite coated which is a
mineral which occurs naturally in bone. It has been shown to be both
osteoinductive and osteoconductive. This means that it both causes bone to grow
and to spreader. The success rate for implant osteointegration or 'taking'
is nearly perfect assuming the patient is in good health, not a heavy smoker,
and has good oral hygiene. If in the worst case scenario the implant fails,
Steri-Oss, our providing source, will guarantee the implant replacement for 10
years.
