Dental implants are a permanent and fixed solution for missing teeth.
A dental implant is a titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone to replace the tooth’s natural root. This integrates over a period of three to six months as the bone grows around the screw and holds it firmly in place. A crown is then placed onto the fixed screw to replace the original natural tooth.
Single and Multiple Implants
Dental implants can be used for the replacement of single teeth or complete tooth loss in the upper and lower jaw. Implants can also be used as a solution to ill fitting dentures.
The placement of implants involves a straight forward procedure usually carried out under local anaesthetic. Many patients are suitable candidates for dental implants and the results provide the patient with the nearest alternative to their natural tooth or teeth that can look aesthetically superb and provide complete confidence when biting, chewing and laughing.
