Implants
About dental implants
If missing teeth are affecting your confidence, making it difficult to bite or chew, or if you want a more dependable alternative to dentures, dental implants offer a long-term, natural-looking solution.
Dental implants mimic the appearance and function of your natural teeth and, with proper care, can last for many years. Beyond boosting your confidence and improving your eating ability, implants also help prevent problems associated with missing teeth, such as bone loss and shifting of adjacent teeth due to lack of support.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium screw inserted directly into your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth.
Over time, the bone around the implant will integrate with it, securing it firmly in place.
A custom crown, designed to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, is then placed on top of the implant. This provides a stable, long-lasting solution that gives you a natural-looking smile.
