Dental Implant
If you want to replace missing teeth because they’re making you feel self-conscious, you’re struggling to bite or chew food, or you have dentures you want to replace with a more reliable fix, dental implants are a long-term, natural-looking solution.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium screw that’s placed directly into your jawbone, replacing your missing tooth root. After it’s fitted, the bone surrounding your implant will gradually fuse to it, holding the implant firmly in place.
A false tooth (a crown) which matches the colour and shape of your existing teeth is then fitted to the top of the implant, leaving you with a fixed solution and a natural looking smile.
Dental Implants – The Best Solution for Missing Teeth
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants are the best solution to restore your smile and oral function. A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth root. Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, a dental crown or bridge is attached to the implant to complete the restoration.
Dental implants offer several benefits over tooth replacement options, such as dentures and bridges. They look and feel like natural teeth, are more comfortable and stable, and help maintain the jawbone’s structure by stimulating bone growth.
