Dental implants are a perfect, long term way to replace missing teeth without the difficulty often associated with dentures. Dentures are prone to slipping and sliding when you talk or eat, particularly those on the lower jaw. Dental implants are the most effective alternative as they use titanium anchors to stabilise your denture.

Dental implants improve the stability, comfort and functionality of your denture so you can once again smile with confidence.

The dental implant procedure

The procedure for dental implants involves the gentle placement of titanium anchors into the jawbone. The implants take a few months to bond to the bone tissue and then they function exactly like natural tooth roots. Abutments are then attached to the implants so that a bridge, crown or denture can be used to replace the missing teeth.

Once the procedure is complete you can take care of your implants just as you do your natural teeth, without suffering the problems associated with dentures. Eating, laughing and speaking will come easily as dental implants are just as functional as natural teeth.

Benefits of dental implants

One of the main benefits of dental implants is that they can last a lifetime. Dental implants can replace any damaged or missing teeth and feel as natural as the surrounding healthy teeth. They help to preserve the gum and bone tissue adjacent to your natural teeth, which is often worn down through wearing traditional dentures.
