Dental Implants

Dental implants are a very predictable solution for missing teeth, lasting for many years. Recently they have become far more affordable and are now the first choice option for the replacement of one or more missing teeth.

Implants can also be used in combination with dentures to improve their stability giving you back your confidence and leaving you with teeth that are comfortable and stable.

Implants are really life changing and life enhancing.

A titanium post is placed into the bone. This is a painless procedure which is carried out under a normal local anaesthetic. Patients have often commented that the procedure was far easier than they had been expecting. We like to leave the implant to integrate with the bone for 3 months following placement. This allows for the best possible support for your crown, bridge, or denture.

why consider dental implants

Losing one or more teeth creates a gap in your smile and while this can lead to a loss of confidence it can also affect your ability to chew properly, and can alter your diet and nutrition. While these issues are serious, did you know that the loss of a tooth can also lead to bone loss?

After a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it will begin to shrink becoming brittle from lack of exercise. This affects your smile but will also change the shape of your face causing you to look prematurely aged.

The benefits of dental implants include maintaining the bone, restoring your natural smile and helping to maintain your youthful appearance.

With options available for individual teeth such as a dental implant with crown that can be replaced without altering your healthy adjacent teeth and multiple teeth options such as implant supported dentures.
