Dental Implants.

Dental implants offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth.

A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder shaped. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth. Often the implant can be placed at the same time as removal of the tooth, all on the same day.

If an implant has a screw-thread on its outer surface it can be screwed into position and if it does not, it is usually tapped into place. The main aim during installation of any implant is to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding bone. This creates an initial stability, which over time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone into microscopic roughnesses on the implant surface.

Implant treatment provides a clinically proven and safe solution to reclaiming a great smile and once again being able to bite and chew with confidence.

When you lose your natural teeth, your jaw bone and surrounding tissues start to disappear over time. Once implants are placed in the jaw, it actually stimulates the remaining bone to grow and mesh around the metal, along with tiny blood vessels.

More importantly, implants help restore function so you can eat, chew and bite without your dentures falling out or having to stick to a soft food diet for the rest of your life.

“Would I recommend this practice? Yes. I have done, recommended it, specifically because one gets what exactly one is asked and it’s explained exactly what’s being done to you and the reasoning behind it. That’s very, very important.”
