Dental implants are an innovative treatment for patients who have missing teeth in Central London. If you have lost a tooth or you have a number of missing teeth and you are searching for a treatment to restore your smile, boost your confidence and improve your bite power, dental implants could be just the ticket.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are a very advanced treatment and they represent an amazing alternative for natural teeth. Implants are small posts, which are made from titanium. They are placed inside small holes in the jaw bone to act as a substitute for natural tooth roots. As titanium is a biocompatible material, the implant is able to integrate into the bone tissue and this means that it provides all the stability and support of a normal, healthy tooth root.

Once the implant has integrated, it can be then attached to a crown, a dental bridge or a denture. This versatility means that treatment is suitable for patients who have one, a few or several missing teeth.

How could implants help me?
