Dental Implants

A missing tooth can do more than affect your appearance and confidence. The gap in your gums can also affect the alignment of teeth and increase the risk of developing other dental conditions. Dental implants are an ideal solution for replacing teeth when they are badly damaged due to disease, decay or trauma. A dental implant is a procedure whereby a metal implant, usually a small titanium screw, is surgically placed into the jawbone which acts as a root for the artificial tooth, bridges or dentures. Over time, the metal implant fuses with the jaw bone and remains a strong support for the fake teeth. A natural tooth coloured crown is then placed over the dental Implant.
