Implants

Dental implants are the revolutionary new way to replace missing teeth.

An implant is simply a titanium screw that replaces the root of the natural tooth and which, after a few months, the body accepts as a new root. After an implant is placed into the underlying bone, a porcelain tooth is then placed on top of the new artificial root, resulting in a restoration that should last a lifetime.

Teeth may be missing for a number of reasons - decay, gum disease or after an accident. For some this may lead to feelings of self-consciousness. Not only this, but missing teeth can make chewing more difficult and the spaces around teeth can be a trap for plaque and food debris which increases your risk of decay and gum disease.
