Under what circumstances could dental implants be used?


Loss of teeth due to a dental condition 

Whether you are young or old, serious gum/root infections, tooth decay and other conditions can cause you to lose teeth. In such cases, implants offer an excellent alternative that will restore your mouth and your appearance to its former glory. 


Loss of teeth due to an accident 

Whether it happens during a football match, at work, or during everyday activities, an accident that results in the loss of one or more teeth is always a possibility. In such situations, implants can also give you back your old smile. In some cases, implants can even be placed immediately following the accident (depending on the damage to the surrounding tissue).

 

Teeth missing from birth

Sometimes, due to genetic conditions, teeth simply do not develop. This can result in unsightly gaps between the teeth, and can even cause difficulty eating or talking. Implants can provide a solution in these situations.
