If you are missing one or more teeth, uncomfortable about gaps, or have a denture that is loose or unexpectedly drops down, then dental implants may be the answer for you!
Implants are the simple and easy way to replace missing or problem teeth to improve your smile and to help overall how your teeth function.
Made from an extremely biocompatible material, a dental implant can be thought of as an artificial tooth root that is submerged into the jawbone.
When dental work such as a crown, fixed bridge or a full set of dentures is added, one or more missing teeth can be replaced.
Dental Implants are a procedure that, generally, is as convenient as a tooth extraction. After an initial healing period, during which time the dental implant is buried in bone and left undisturbed under gum tissue, it is uncovered and connected to a small metal post that secures and supports the artificial tooth.
Some advantages of our tooth implants are that they –
* Withstand greater biting pressure than dentures
* Prevent hollowed or collapsed cheeks following tooth extraction
* Provide a level of comfort that is often greater than alternative treatment
* Do not usually require special cleaning products.
Only during examination can we see what condition your mouth and gums are in, explain your options to you, and exactly how we will perform the procedure.

*Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
