What Are The Options?
If you would like to replace your missing tooth/teeth there are a number of options that you could choose, for example
- leave the gap as it is
- denture - a removable plate ‘false teeth’
- bridge - a fixed treatment option that incorporates the adjacent teeth
- implant - a standalone fixed option that most closely mimics a real tooth
If it has been decided that a dental implant is the best option for you, comprehensive diagnostic records and information are collected to be able to carefully plan the implant placement (the ‘root’) and subsequent crown (the ‘tooth’ that you see) so it looks and functions as naturally as possible.

Implant Placement at Maison Dental
Modern dental implants have been used to replace missing teeth for many decades now. With constant research and development, implants have become one of the most predictable and long lasting dental treatments available. However, the risk of failure is still present and especially higher if you have gum disease, diabetes or are a smoker.
There are many different implant companies that manufacture implants. At Maison Dental we use Swiss-made implants which have extensive scientific research and proven longevity and success. Combined with the latest technology and equipment that we have onsite at Maison Dental we aim to provide the highest quality dental implant treatment possible.

Discuss what your expectations are for that missing tooth. Different treatment options will be explained and discussed thoroughly. Diagnostic records such as a cone-beam CT scan, 3D digital impression of your teeth, photos will be taken.

Careful precise planning is required before a dental implant is placed. Maison Dental is equipped with the latest technology and software to be able to better prepare for your treatment. You may have the day procedure performed under local anaesthetic, happy gas or if you prefer, twilight sedation.

Once the dental implant has healed and integrated into your jaw bone, then we are able to design and place your implant crown. The crown is screw-retained meaning that the crown is easily retrievable if it needs to be replaced in the future. The risk of gum disease compared to a cement-retained crown is also significantly less.
Maintenance is key for long term success. Dental implants cannot get decay but gum disease and bone loss are common complications. Regular maintenance appointments are highly recommended.
