Dental Implant

Dental Implants provide a long lasting and aesthetic solution for the problem of missing or broken down teeth.

There are well over 100 different implant systems currently in use around the world. Only a handful of these implant systems have any substantial evidence in the dental research literature to back their use, and even fewer implant systems have any substantial long-term follow up evidence to support their use on patients.

Missing tooth options

When a tooth is missing there are usually a number of solutions available.

You could have a false tooth made and fitted to a plate.
Alternatively a Bridge can be fitted to an adjacent tooth.
Or you could have a Dental Implant which doesn’t affect the adjacent teeth.

In our practice, we have selected the most modern, top of the range dental Implants from Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Camlog. These implant systems are all world class dental implant companies which have been established for many years.

There are many alternative cheaper type of implants available in the market but as we do not have the much needed scientific and clinical support to back their performance, at Pearl Dental Clinic we do not think is justifiable to provide them to our patients no matter what the financial benefits can be to both to the patients and the dentists.

Also by using dental implants from one of the major implant companies, we ensure that in years to come if the patient’s implant needs a new screw or an abutment, the company is likely to be still in business to supply the parts needed for maintenance.

Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Camlog implant companies have decades of clinical research behind their implant systems, which has resulted in numerous independent scientific studies being published on them. With such extensive research, we believe that these implant systems, are the most thoroughly documented, clinically validated, peer reviewed and research proven implant systems on the market today.

Nobel Biocare

Nobel Biocare implants offer the solutions for all indications, from a single-tooth to fully edentulous restorations (Same day Teeth), offering one of the best quality and aesthetic results. Nobel Biocare implants have probably the widest range of suprastructures available to dentists which makes them the most suitable implant system for replacing multiple missing teeth.

Nobel Biocare is the number one manufacturer of dental implants in the world, making its dental implants the most widely used and tested dental implant system in the world.

Straumann SLActive

Manufactured from pure titanium, Straumann SLActive implants feature optimal surface topography for bone cells to attach themselves, allowing osseointegration to occur in as little time as six weeks. This allows the Straumann SLActive Implant to be loaded with a crown and be placed into occlusion much faster than other Implants that require a healing time of up to six months.

Straumann SLActive implants have been specially developed to optimize implant stability and reduce the risk of failure. The latest research findings substantially support the fact that, with over 90,000 implants used worldwide Straumann SLActive implants deliver an extremely low failure rate of less than 1%.

Mini Implant

For a better functional and cosmetic dental implant outcome, where needed we always carry out bone grafting. We can use the patient’s own bone, irradiated cadaver bone, synthetic bone or bovine derived bone. If bone grafting is not carried out in cases where it is necessary, it can lead to serious problems for the patient.

Implant Ridge Preservation

Once a tooth is lost, the bone and gum will begin to recede.
If you later decide to have an Implant fitted, it may mean that the Implant would sit too high or the Crown would sit too low for your ‘bite’.

A bone graft material can be inserted into the cavity to encourage bone re-growth.
Over time, this will provide a sufficient amount of bone to support the Implant.

Just a few points to consider when you are thinking about Implants

Are you going to provide me with a full written treatment plan and costing’s at my consultation visit without added hidden costs once treatment starts?
Can I spread my treatment cost over 1-3 years with Interest Free Finance?
Will I be informed in writing of the risks of Implant surgery before treatment begins so that I am fully informed of possible risks and complications?
Is my medical history going to be fully reviewed and implant placement only recommended if I have no absolute medical contra-indications to implant surgery?
Will I be told if I have gum disease and advised to have my gum disease treated before any implant treatment is started to minimize the risk of implant loss through peri-implantitis in future?
Will I be informed if I suffer from grinding and clenching and advised to have these habits treated before starting implant treatment to reduce the risk of implant fracture?
Will I be informed if I suffer from bone loss in the implant site and advised to have bone grafting in order to prevent the cosmetic and functional failure of the implant threads becoming exposed short of long term?
Will you do bone grafting if needed, to prevent the failure of my implant crown needing poorly matching pink porcelain to cover up missing bone and gum or my implant needing a very long unsightly crown?
If I need bone grafting, will you discuss the various types of bone grafts available to me and allow me to choose the type of bone graft that I am most comfortable with having in my mouth and not insist that I have one particular type of bone graft material because its the cheapest available?
If I need bone grafting, am I going to be provided with a resorbable Bio-Gide membrane at no additional cost to increase bone grafting success rate?
Will my Implant treatment be carried out under full sterile theatre conditions with disposable surgical gowns worn by myself and the surgical staff around me in order to minimize the risk of bone infection?
If the Implant is going to be placed close to the Maxillary sinus, are you going to do sinus lift or sinus tap procedures where necessary and do everything possible to avoid damaging my sinus lining?
If the implant is going to be placed close to a nerve supply, are you going take X-rays during the implant placement procedure and do everything possible to avoid damaging that nerve supply?
Will I only be provided with implants that have been fully tested and have years of research and development behind them rather than implants that are hybrid copies of several different outdated implant systems with no research behind their design?
After implant surgery, will I be provided with antibiotics, painkillers, antiseptic mouthwash and written post-op instructions at no additional cost?
Will I be provided with a temporary abutment and temporary crown for implants in the cosmetic zone, in order to achieve the best gum shape around my implant?
For the front of the mouth, Will I be sent at no additional cost to a cosmetic lab to have the most accurate shade taking for my final implant crown?
Will you promise not to rush my treatment by loading my implant with a crown too early and allow enough time for adequate implant-bone union to take place before loading in order to achieve the best long term implant success?
For a genuine Implant guarantee, will I be given the option to insure my dental implant against failure with a reputable implant insurance provider?
Will I have immediate access to the Pearl dental clinic 24 Hour 365 days a year dental emergency service should I need any emergency treatment?
Does Pearl dental clinic focus 100% on quality & service and on providing the best cosmetic and long lasting dental implants rather than on case quantity?
