Implants

A dental implant is a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. Dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible once surgically placed. They are used to secure crowns, bridgework or dentures by a variety of means. They are made of titanium, which is lightweight, strong and biocompatible, which means that it is not rejected by the body.

                                   

Dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device. If you look after your implants properly and maintain good oral hygiene, they should last for the rest of your life.

Having dental implants will involve at least one operation. You need to have healthy gums and your jawbone needs to be strong enough to hold the implants, ask for more information.
