Dental implants are medical grade titanium tooth root replacements and are a great way to replace one or more missing teeth. They provide strong foundations to support your tooth replacement restorations.

An implant itself is a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone. Over time the bone grows around and bonds with the titanium to provide a secure base, just like a tooth root. An implant can support a single replacement tooth, a bridge or a denture with several replacement teeth. Dental implants are arguably the next best thing to still having your own teeth. They allow you to be free from many issues traditionally associated with dentures – for example, they don’t move around so you can eat and speak with confidence.

Dental implants enable patients to maintain bone structure and support facial tissues to recover their natural appearance. They can look and feel similar to natural teeth, so many patients feel more confident and happy as a result of having treatment.
