What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the ideal treatment option to replace a missing tooth or teeth - restoring the natural appearance and function of your mouth and avoiding the inconvenience and embarrassment of dentures.
Implants are also the optimal treatment option to support removable bridges and dentures - which is far superior treatment than ‘just a denture'
Dental implants are based on artificial tooth roots made of titanium, which are implanted into the bone of the jaw using a simple and relatively painless procedure. Over a few months, the titanium fuses with the bone and creates a secure foundation.
Once that occurs, a small abutment is screwed into the titanium implant to complete the foundation. A Natural-looking porcelain crown is then fitted over the abutment, creating a strong tooth which blends in with the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth.
