Why are dental implants used?
Dental implants as a treatment has been well documented for at least thirty years. This
treatment option is not only
backed by scientific literature but also clinical experience.
Dental implants have the same goal – to provide solutions for missing teeth and in the process to improve a person’s quality of life.
Almost all dental implants in use today are made from titanium or titanium alloy. There are many different implant systems available and when competently used they can all deliver a highly reliable form of treatment.

Why Choose Dental Implants at our Wong & Sim Dental Surgery?
At our Wong & Sim Dental Surgery Clinic, we pride ourselves on the following points:
Smile More, Talk More
Traditional dentures can make speaking and laughing difficult,
often slipping or shifting out of place. With dental
implants, you no longer need to worry about these issues. They provide a
secure fit, allowing you to speak and smile
with confidence, helping you feel more like yourself in social situations.
Convenience
While removable dentures have their advantages, they don't
quite replicate the feel of natural teeth.The daily process
of applying and removing dentures can become a cumbersome task. Dental
implants not only restore the look and function
of natural teeth but also simplify daily life by eliminating these
inconveniences, offering a more seamless and natural
experience.
Problems Solved
Implants provide numerous advantages over traditional
dentures. As they are permanently anchored in place, implants
restore both form and function, addressing the issues commonly associated
with removable alternatives. This stability
ensures improved comfort and enhanced chewing ability.
Your Diet Improves
Think about the last time you enjoyed a steak or an apple
without worrying about your teeth or dentures. Dental implants
allow you to eat a variety of foods with assurance, enhancing your overall
dining experience. This means not only
greater enjoyment of your favorite foods but also a more nutritious and
balanced diet, ultimately benefiting your
overall health.
Restored Confidence
Dental implants address the various challenges associated with
dentures or missing teeth, but their most profound
benefit is the restoration of confidence and self-esteem. By providing a
natural-looking and functional solution,
implants help you feel more assured and positive about your smile and
overall appearance.

Single Tooth Replacement
If only one tooth is missing, a single Dental Implant in
London is the gold standard method of tooth replacement.
It will not damage adjacent teeth as with a bridge or denture. It will maintain the positions of the remaining teeth by preventing them from moving into the space.

Multiple Teeth Replacements
If more than one tooth has been lost it is possible to have 2
or more Dental Implants adjacent to one another. It is
also possible to have Dental Implants joined together with a bridge so that
you do not need an individual Dental
Implants per tooth.

Full Arch Dental Implants
If you have lost all your teeth we can provide dental implants
to support or anchor a fixed stable permanent aesthetic
bridge.
The number of Dental Implants required to support a full arch bridge will depend on the anatomy of the jaw bone, the number of teeth required, the type of bridge required and the opposing teeth.

Dental Implants FAQs
Is the procedure painful?
The implant procedure is performed using a local anaesthetic,
so you should not experience pain during the surgery.
Some minor discomfort and tenderness may occur in the days
following the procedure.
How long does it take?
The duration of the treatment depends on the number of implants
needed to achieve your desired outcome. Typically,
patients spend a few hours in the clinic. We advise setting
aside the day for recovery to ensure you have ample time to
rest and begin the healing process.
How long is the recovery time?
Again, this depends on the number and type of implants
required. You will probably experience some swelling and
tenderness for at least a few days after the procedure.
How do I take care of my implants?
Caring for your dental implants is similar to caring for
natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing are essential to
maintain their health. Additionally, we recommend scheduling
regular checkups with us to ensure your implants remain in
optimal condition and to address any concerns promptly.
Will there be any dietary restrictions?
During the initial recovery period, it's advisable to stick to
soft foods to allow the implants to heal properly. Once
the implants have fully integrated and the titanium has fused
with the jawbone, you can resume eating a normal diet
without any restrictions.
How long will the implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution for
tooth replacement. The longevity of implants largely
depends on several factors, including the patient's oral
hygiene, bone health, and adherence to post-operative care. On
average, dental implants can last 15 to 25 years or longer, with
many patients maintaining them for life. Regular dental
check-ups and proper maintenance are crucial to ensure the
long-term success and durability of the implants.
