Dental Implants
As well as his professional qualifications, Dr Friel has travelled globally to enhance his experience in high quality dental implant work.
Put simply – dental implants have changed dentistry beyond recognition and can provide a life-long solution if you have lost any teeth and/or seek dental enhancement.
Dental implants are accepted by dental professionals for more than 40 years as a successful and trusted method of tooth replacement.
There can be many reasons implants can work for you and improve your dental aesthetics – an accident, poor dental care in earlier life or Mother Nature herself. Whatever the reason, Dr Friel and his team can advise on the best course of treatment to ensure the perfect smile.
Working with the prestigious Nobel Biocare implant suppliers, Dr Friel believes you never have to be embarrassed about your teeth again.
You can eat and behave completely normally as any missing teeth can now be easily, comfortably and permanently replaced.
With implant work we can achieve both a perfect fit and a perfect match.
Six reasons why you should consider implants instead of other solutions
- They look, feel and function like your natural teeth
- Healthy teeth do not need to be ground down to support the dental implants
- Anchoring dental implants in the jawbone stimulates bone tissue and gums, ensuring an attractive, esthetic result while helping to maintain facial structures
- Dental implants do not require any adhesives to hold the new teeth in place
- They eliminate the discomfort and insecurity of loose, ill-fitting dentures
- You have a secure, permanent tooth replacement
ARE YOU MISSING A SINGLE TOOTH?
Once you lose or damage a tooth, the immediate solution is to replace it, especially if it’s a front one.
But what happens if you lose a tooth that’s not visible when you smile? Most people would ignore it.
Remember any missing tooth can have a negative impact on your life, as well as dental and oral health.
You can develop pressure issues when chewing food – leading to headaches or migraines.
A missing tooth can lead to others in your mouth moving position – and also affect how the upper and lower teeth meet.
An implant can be the solution.
If you’re missing one tooth, including the root, the dental crown is attached to a dental implant. The implant serves as a foundation for a dental crown. The method won’t affect your other adjacent healthy teeth.
ARE YOU MISSING SEVERAL TEETH?
Again the use of implant technology and expert treatment can restore your smile as well as your dental health.
A ceramic bridge on natural teeth uses replacement teeth built with high-strength dental ceramic material. It’s anchored to the adjacent teeth which must be reduced in size in order to secure the bridge in place.
Another alternative is to use a bridge on implants. A durable bridge with natural-looking replacement teeth is securely positioned on dental implants. Healthy, adjacent teeth are left untouched. Dental implants are strong, biocompatible fixtures made of titanium, that act just like natural tooth roots.
ARE YOU A DENTURE WEARER?
If so, you may experience problems with an insecure fit leading to embarrassing situations and pain.
Implants offer a good option because they then act like your own natural roots. They can support dental crowns that look and feel like real teeth.
