Dental implants are implanted into the jaw acting like a root, and the replacement teeth are later fastened to it. Dental Implants feel and function just like natural teeth on biting. The dental implant is a small, slightly tapered screw designed to copy the shape of a natural tooth root.
This shape makes the implant easier to insert as it almost matches the size and shape of the original tooth root it is replacing. It is made from Titanium Alloy, a biologically safe material which the body accepts as its own.
An implant is a great choice for a single missing tooth, whether it’s visible or not, and the results can be life-changing.
In some cases a single implant can support two replacement teeth, or two implants can support a fixed bridge if you have several missing teeth.
If you've had missing teeth for a while, you may need some treatment before the Implant can be placed. Our team will advise you of this.
