Dental Implants are the best option for replacing missing or damaged teeth. Dental Implants are permanent and are a better option for damaged teeth. To be a good candidate for implants, you need to have good oral and general health. You also need to have adequate bone in your jaw to support the dental implant, be free of periodontal disease and have healthy gum tissues.

In general, you may be a good candidate for dental implants if you:

• Have one or more teeth missing
• Have enough bone for securing the dental implant or can have a bone graft
• Have a fully grown jawbone
• Have healthy oral tissues
• Are unwilling or unable to wear dentures
• Don’t have a medical condition that would affect bone healing
• Would like to improve your speech
• Can commit a few months to the process
• Don’t smoke or are willing to quit

In addition to daily brushing and flossing, take your oral hygiene to the next level by following a few steps to good oral health  These include:

• Using products that contain fluoride.
• Limiting snacks that are high in sugar.
• Eating a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables.
• Avoiding tobacco in any form.

Studies show children can develop their first cavities by two years old, so the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends booking the first visit once their first tooth appears – or, at the latest, their first birthday. This helps your dentist catch potential problems that can affect your child’s overall health and well-being as more teeth grow in overtime. Our children’s dentists are here to answer any further questions that you may have. 

The best way to ensure a healthy mouth is to follow a balanced diet and regularly visit the dentist while maintaining your oral care routine with twice-daily brushing and once-daily flossing. We would also recommend regularly seeing your dental hygienist. Protect yourself against problems that can advance quickly by discussing these questions with your dental professional.

Many individuals are scared of seeing the dentist, particularly a new one. This dread or phobia might be so bad that people will not come to see us unless they are in excruciating pain. It’s possible you had negative experiences as a kid and the mixtures and noises in the operating room bring back horrible memories, or your fear is very particular.

The first step is to set up an appointment and express your nervousness. We will sympathise with you and be polite. We’ll pay attention to you as well, and we’ll do everything we can to assist.
