About dental implants

Dental implants are the latest development in tooth replacement treatment and they offer a long-term solution for patients who have a single missing tooth or many lost teeth. Implants are placed in sockets in the jaw bone with a view to taking on the roles of the missing tooth root. As they are made from titanium, which is a biocompatible material, they are able to actually become part of the bone tissue; this process is called osseointegration.

Once the implant is in place and it has integrated into the jaw bone, it is possible to attach a new crown, dental bridge or denture. This stage of treatment serves to replace the visible part of the missing tooth and once it is complete, your smile should look and feel amazing.

What are the advantages of dental implants?

Dental implants are very versatile and they offer almost every patient with missing teeth a number of benefits. Treatment is long-term, implants are easy to manage and maintain and the results of treatment are incredible. The teeth look natural and they offer the same level of functionality as a strong, natural tooth because they are anchored firmly by the replacement tooth root. Implants can also help to reduce bone loss, which is particularly common in older people.
