Dental clinics offer a myriad of services ranging from dental check-ups and general cleanings to making of dentures and the manufacturing of dental crowns. Aside from the usual extractions and filling, many dental clinics even offer dental surgical services such as implantation of dental implants.
There are many different dental clinics in Cape Town. Below are some of the services offered by Dental Implants Cape Town South Africa.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are dental fixtures that are installed directly into the upper jaw bone or lower jaw bone to give dental prostheses support and anchorage. The whole placement procedure involves exposure of the bone, drilling of holes and actual placement of the dental implants. Dental implants are ideal for individuals who have healthy bones and gums.
Dentures
Clinics offering Dental Implants Cape Town South Africa also offer denture manufacturing. Dentures are basically false teeth that are used by many to hide the spaces and gaps left by missing teeth. They are the most practical choice for individuals who have lost all of their teeth. An impression of a client's teeth is first taken by the dentist. Using the impression as a guide, the dentists will then construct a denture that will fit snugly in the patient's mouth. This ensures that the dentures won't fall off regardless of what the client is doing.
Dental Veneers and Crowns
Similar to dental crowns, dental veneers are made to order moldings that are designed to provide clients with significantly whiter and healthier teeth. Dental veneers and crowns are custom made to fit the mouth of a patient. These dental fixtures are attached to the teeth using dental cement.
Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery
Clinics offering Dental Implants Cape Town South Africa also perform surgical procedures which can help bring back or improve the appearance and function of a person's teeth and mouth. These surgical procedures can either be elective and purely for aesthetic reasons or may be needed for health reasons. These services are ideal for individuals who have difficulty speaking, masticating or even breathing.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are dental prostheses used to occupy a space of gap left by missing teeth. Similar to dentures, dental bridges are specifically made to resemble real teeth. Dentists ensure that these bridges have forms, sizes and color shadings that complement those of existing teeth.
Chairside Bleaching
Chairside bleaching, also known as teeth whitening, is a cosmetic procedure that employs the use of whiteners and laser light to significantly whiten the teeth. The procedure usually takes 30 minutes to 1 hour to finish.
