When people originally lost their teeth, they weren't left with many options; either a fixed bridge or ill-fitting dentures. In these cases, both are arduous to maintain and can lead to discomfort. Thanks to dental implants, those days are long gone. Dental implants are a revolution in modern dentistry, allowing patients to once again eat, talk, smile and live in comfort and renewed confidence. Unlike dentures, dental implants won't come loose and don't need to be anchored to surrounding teeth for support. This means dental implants can actually help improve your oral health. Are you possibly considering dental implants but don't know where to begin? Here at Seapoint Clinic, we're more than happy to help guide you to the ideal treatment for you.

Dental Implants Look And Feel Natural

Dental implants are designed to look exactly like your own natural teeth, meaning you won't even know the difference! It's possible to achieve this thanks our experienced dental team, who have more experience in dental implants than any other clinic across the country. We're also able to create your dental implant on-site, with our very own dental laboratory. You're even able to see how your new smile will look in our Digital Smile Design Suite, meaning treatment doesn't begin until you're 100% happy with how your smile will look. When you finally get a dental implant, you’ll barely notice it’s there – it will feel as natural as all the other teeth. 

They Can Help Protect Your Teeth

Dental implants not only provide a strong foundation, they can also help teeth to remain strong and healthy. As a dental implant bridge or crown can be easily positioned onto the implant, helping to protect the rest of your healthy teeth. If maintained properly, your dental implants can prevent further bone loss from occurring and even encourage the growth of the jaw bone. A healthy smile means a confident you and we often find patients reinvigorated by the ability to simply smile in comfort. 

Dental Implants Cost

It's important to remember that the cheapest deal isn't always the best. Here at Seapoint Clinic, we only use the highest quality implants and materials to help restore smiles. The market is flooded with cheaper implants, but more often than not these contain hidden additional costs and can even fail over time and may actually cost more to fix in the long run. If you are concerned about the cost of dental implants, we offer affordable, competitive and clear pricing on all our procedures. It's important to take your time when it comes to making a decision on your health and we understand that you may prefer to bring a family member or friend along to your consultation. This is perfectly fine and we're more than happy to welcome anyone you would like to bring with you, as it's often the best way to make sure all your questions get answered on the day.

Advantages of Dental Implants

• Appearance: Dental implants look and feel exactly like natural teeth.
• Comfort: As implants are just like natural teeth, they remove the discomfort of ill-fitting dentures.
• Easier eating: Dentures can often make chewing difficult. However, with dental implants you can eat all your favourite foods with confidence. 
• Self-esteem: Get your smile back with dental implants and enjoy a new lease of life.
• Oral health: As your own teeth are not altered to support your implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. 
• Durable: Implants are very durable and with proper care can last a lifetime.
• Convenience: Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants eliminate the inconvenience of having to remove your dentures, as well as getting rid of messy denture adhesives.
