Dental Implants

What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from titanium. They provide a permanent base for fixed, replacement teeth. They are used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or all the teeth that are missing. Implants are considered the best dental treatment for missing teeth.

Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the number one choice for people with missing teeth. While there are a few options for replacing missing teeth, we recommend dental implants because they are the only permanent solution. Attached directly to the jawbone, they function just like a natural tooth root, providing a secure anchor for artificial teeth. Not only do implants restore the look and function of your smile, but they also help preserve the jawbone and prevent bone loss. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can offer a reliable, long-lasting solution that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, and there’s no reason why they shouldn’t last a lifetime.

How do Dental Implants Work?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw carefully and precisely placed into the jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anaesthetic or sedation so that you won’t experience any pain. Once implanted, the surrounding bone will grow around it and fuse into the implant. When this happens, a strong foundation is created for the artificial tooth or teeth to be secured. This process is called osseointegration For implants to be successful, you must have good oral health. You must be free of any gum disease or tooth decay before implants can be fitted. If you are a smoker, it can increase the risk of implants failing as it affects your gums and blood cells.
