Implants consist of a screw-like titanium metal posts that are surgically implanted into the jaw. Implants becomes fused with the jaw bone (osseointegration), providing a solid anchorage for a lifelike crown. Implants can be used to replace single or multiple teeth, or to support other types of dental restorations, such as dental bridges or dentures. While implant surgery is usually performed by other specialists, prosthodontists often design and place the implant crowns. Implants are initially the most costly tooth replacement method, but often prove to be excellent value in the long run, as they can last a lifetime.<i><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37148a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"37148a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Dentures and Partial Dentures<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ceb8fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9ceb8fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #808080; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;\">Conventional dentures help to restore your missing teeth and gums when all of your teeth have been lost.

You may have dentures that are severely worn and need replacement or just need an upgrade or a spare set of dentures. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #808080; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;\">Dentures\u00a0are available in many different types, including full, partial, and implant-supported varieties. They can improve the aesthetics and functionality of an individual who is missing teeth\u2014particularly when the dentures are manufactured to a high standard of workmanship and fitted correctly in the mouth. However, wearing dentures typically requires an adjustment period, and some find them uncomfortable in certain situations.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6b8ba8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a6b8ba8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Jaw Joint Disorders and Bite Problems <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c9138c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6c9138c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt;\">The temporomandibular area of your body includes the muscles and joints around your jaw and is often referred to as the TMJ.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Many people suffer from TMJ problems leading to noticeable symptoms when yawning, chewing, or sleeping.

Full mouth rehabilitation is generally only required when your bite has collapsed, and\/or you have multiple missing or heavily filled teeth. A range of advanced dental procedures such as crowns, bridgework, implants, partial or full dentures can be used to restore your bite to its original height.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt;\">Temporary restorations and provisional denture prostheses are often used to trial any proposed changes before the final restorations are made, allowing you to have input into the way things look and how you smile. These temporary restorations are often worn for a few months while confirming everything is working in harmony and that no further disease has appeared, giving you the added opportunity to show those who are close to you what your teeth may look like.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt;\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">The initial stabilisation phase of a full mouth rehabilitation can take months to\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">years depending on your response to slowing any disease processes that were present beforehand.

This is your insurance policy to ensure that any complex treatment performed later is less likely to fail.
