In the photos above you can see that the inplant closely resembles the original tooth. The value of the implant is that unlike a crown, which requires an existing tooth, the implant can replace a missing tooth. If you have lost a tooth due to an accident, it can not be replaced with a crown as there is no tooth to put the crown on.
The jaw with the two implants shown illustrates the way inplants are installed. The bone is drilled by an Oral Surgeon to accept the implant. The first implant has a healing cap installed, which protects the implant and bone until the bone has healed. There is very little pain as everything is carried out under local anesthesia. Some swelling will be experienced, and pain medication is supplied to relieve discomfort.

A typical situation for an implant. A tooth is missing as a result of decay, periodontal diesease or accident. A conventional crown can not be used as there is no tooth left to attach the crown to. Other remedies include removable dentures, which must be removed overnight, and must be adjusted from time to time. |

An implant can be used here if the bone is healthy enough to accept it. In this photo the bone around the implant has healed, and the crown is ready to be applied to the inplant. Once completed the end result matches your original teeth. |
