Dental implants bring a smile to patients

FOR more than 20 years, the Ankylos implant system has been helping dental practitioners around the world recreate beautifully natural smiles for patients.

The system enables dentists to replace missing teeth with long-lasting restorations that look and function just like the real thing.

CAD Dental Center in Shanghai offers this world-leading implant technique. Ankylos implants are made of biologically neutral pure titanium which adapts to patients' own bone structures, providing long-term replacements for missing teeth. The process takes between three months to a year from start to finish.

"The Ankylos implant system adopts a state-of-the-art platform-switching implant concept. It allows the maximum maintenance of soft tissue and bone during the tooth implant, effectively avoids pressure on implants caused by alveolar bone re-absorption afterwards and improves gum health - ideal for those who want the best appearance," says George Choo, senior dental surgeon at CAD Dental Center.

Choo received special training at Frankfurt University to work on the Ankylos implant system.

"We can finish the implant surgery very fast and are confident that we are first-class professional experts in this area," adds Choo.

According to Choo, other advantages of Ankylos implant include: no inflammation of tissue surrounding the implant; no effect on healthy teeth; customized design without braces; high resemblance to natural teeth; and none of the pain associated with ordinary, ill-fitting dentures.

Moreover, the technique also carries a minimal risk of infection, a low risk of bone loss, short therapy time and is affordable, says Choo.

CAD also prides itself in its international staff who it says strive to make patients feel comfortable through offering a friendly service.

Since its establishment in 2006, CAD has treated around 400 foreign families in Shanghai - around 2,000 people. Its Singapore headquarters has received the award of "Asia's best dental team" in Singapore.

Regina Brauckschulze from Germany is among patients who received Ankylos implants at CAD. She says she is completely satisfied with the entire process, especially highlighting the care and kindness from dental surgeons and dental nurses.

"I gave up on the idea of going back to Germany to get treatment and amazingly found this place that is so familiar to me. It's like a family."

Emma Yue, a designer, was introduced to CAD by a German friend. "Considerate service and a warranty of 10 years have removed all my worries about my dental health," Yue says.
