Dental Implants
For a beautiful smile and the ability to chew with comfort and confidence, dental implants are the best replacement for natural teeth.
Why Have Dental Implants?
Dental Implants can be used to replace teeth and support bridgework, without the need to cut down healthy tooth structure, as cutting down teeth can sometimes lead to complications.
They are preferable to partial dentures as they are more stable, and can be used to anchor full dentures in place.
Implants also help reduce loss of jawbone, as the jaw is still ‘in use’ so the bone does not resorb (dissolve) away so quickly.

What are Dental Implants?
Expert implementation
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for fixed, replacement teeth. They’re an effective long-term solution for people who suffer from missing teeth, failing teeth, or chronic dental problems.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone around the implant heals in a process called osseointegration, where it actually grows around the implant and incorporates it into the jaw. This provides a strong, stable base for replacement teeth, which can be a crown, bridge, or denture.
Dental implants have three parts:
The Implant
A screw that serves as a root for your new teeth. This is what permanently attaches to your jaw.
The Abutment
A permanent but removable connector that supports and holds a tooth or set of teeth.
The Crown (or Prosthetic Tooth)
This is the part of the tooth that you can see. It’s usually made of zirconium or porcelain for durability and good looks.
Compared to dentures and bridges, dental implants mimic natural teeth in function, feel, and look, which leads to a more comfortable and natural biting and chewing capability. Besides, they help maintain facial structures, preventing bone loss in the jaw, which is common in areas where teeth are missing.

On average the healing time for modern implants is much reduced – which means you can have your permanent tooth much sooner. Occasionally even immediately, dependent on the bone.
Normally a temporary restoration is put in place whilst ‘Osteo-integration occurs’, for about 6 weeks.
