Dental Implants
Missing teeth? Loose dentures? Maybe now is the time to consider dental implants. A dental implant is a fixed replacement for a missing tooth or teeth. They are extremely strong, can last for over 30 years and can be used to replace single or multiple missing teeth. They can even be used to stabilise dentures.
Why Dental Implants?
A dental implant in an artificial root that is placed into your jaw. Made of titanium, they are extremely strong and are the best option if you have gaps n your mouth where teeth have been removed. They’re durable too and may last 30 years or more.
Once the implant has been placed, a period 3 months is required to allow healing to occur. We can provide a range of temporary options which allow the gum to heal before your next stage. Once healed the permanent crown is placed into the implant.
As well as improving things inside your mouth, implants can make a huge difference to the structure of your face, especially when they are replacing a number of missing teeth, helping to improve your overall appearance as well as your confidence.
