Restore Your Smile with Advanced Dental Implants

Replacing missing teeth in Christchurch

A Dental Implant is an artificial replacement for a tooth root, typically made from titanium. Once implants are placed they are then used to support a single tooth, multiple teeth or even dentures. We have been placing implants at Hoburne dental practice for nearly 20 years.

What Does the Dental Implant Treatment Involve?

Dental implant treatment at Hoburne Dental is a precise, multi-step process designed to provide a permanent solution for missing teeth. Our team is committed to offering you the highest level of care, tailored to meet your unique needs.

The first step is an in-depth consultation, where we’ll assess your suitability for implants. This will involve taking digital X-rays, scans, and impressions of your teeth. We use a state-of-the-art dental CT scanner right here at our practice, allowing us to gain a 3D view of your jaw anatomy and make an informed decision on the best course of treatment.

Once we’ve determined that dental implants are the right choice for you, we proceed with the surgical placement of the implant. This is a small titanium post that acts as a replacement for your missing tooth’s root. Over the next few months, the implant will naturally integrate into the jawbone—a process known as osseointegration.

Following healing, which typically takes about three months, we move on to the second stage: attaching a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to the implant. The result is a fully functional and natural-looking tooth replacement. This treatment may take several months to complete, but the end result will give you a smile that feels and looks completely natural.

Who Can Benefit from Dental Implants?

One of the key aspects of our approach at Hoburne Dental is providing care that meets the needs of all Christchurch residents. Whether you’re looking for a permanent solution for one missing tooth or an alternative to dentures, dental implants can offer a reliable solution. We work with patients of all ages, from young professionals and families to those that are retired, tailoring our care to fit your individual circumstances.

  • One Missing Tooth: If you are missing a single tooth, a titanium implant can replace the root, and once integrated into your jawbone, a porcelain crown will be securely placed on the implant. This procedure avoids the need for a bridge or denture, preserving the health of neighbouring teeth and giving you a natural-looking result.

  • Multiple Missing Teeth: For patients with several missing teeth, we offer implant-based solutions that provide a durable and aesthetic alternative to traditional dentures or bridges. For example, two implants can replace three missing teeth with a fixed implant bridge. Alternatively, two implants can support a denture, ensuring a more stable fit, especially for patients with loose lower dentures. This option is ideal for those who want a more comfortable and secure alternative to traditional dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the dental implant treatment involve?

The dental implant treatment at Hoburne Dental starts with a consultation where we assess your suitability for implants through X-rays, scans, and impressions. If deemed appropriate, the implant is surgically placed into your jawbone and left to heal for around three months. After this, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant to restore function and appearance. The full treatment typically takes a few months to complete.

Who is suitable for dental implants?

Most people are candidates for dental implants, especially if they are missing one or more teeth. After your assessment, our team will confirm if implants are the right solution for you. Implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or secure dentures, providing a long-lasting and natural-looking alternative to bridges and removable dentures.

How long does it take to complete dental implant treatment?

Dental implant treatment usually takes a few months to complete. The initial phase involves placing the implant, followed by a healing period of about three months to allow the implant to integrate with the jawbone. After healing, the final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) is placed, completing the treatment.
