Dental Implants

Made from medical grade titanium, dental implants resemble a screw and when placed, replicate a missing tooth root by naturally bonding with the jawbone. An implant provides a solid foundation to which a crown, bridge or denture may be secured.

As a tooth replacement, dental implants offer the closest thing to natural teeth. They are more secure than removable dentures and fill the spaces without modifying any adjacent teeth.

Many diagnostic procedures will be undertaken prior to any appointments being made for dental implant placement. Our team will check your bone levels, ensure there is sufficient spacing so no adjacent teeth are damaged and ensure you do not have a compromised medical history.

Depending on where the implant is placed in your jaw, full integration of the dental implant into the bone can take anywhere from 4-9 months.

Every patient’s results will vary. Scientific studies have shown that properly maintained dental implants that are anchored with sufficient healthy bone can last for many, many years. Some minor repairs may be expected like any other dental appliance.

If you have lost a tooth or several teeth, contact our friendly team and arrange a consultation to discuss a solution.
