Generally made from Titanium, Dental Implants are essentially a synthetic replacement root that is placed into the area missing the natural tooth.

This can often be accomplished following simple numbing of the area and it often surprises people how easy it can be. We have even had patients say that they didn't know that they’d had them placed! Dental Implants take on the role of an anchor within the mouth within a few months, which is then used to fasten ‘new teeth’ into position be they, Crowns, Bridges or Dentures restoring the smile and bite.

Dental Implants can provide amazing stability and function for patients, aiding them with biting pressure as well as removing irritation and ulcers often experienced by Denture wearers. Most patients find they are also able to eat and speak as they did previously — things that people often take for granted until their natural teeth are lost. This is certainly one of the greatest advances of modern dentistry that we can offer.
