Dental Implants

A dental implant is a natural looking artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge - in fact the end result is a tooth that will look and feel just like your own. They are are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost one or more teeth but still want to smile with comfort and confidence.

Eating, talking, smiling, and feeling confident are all made easier with dental implants.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are most commonly small titanium screws that are fixed into the jawbone, which in effect, acts like the root of a natural tooth. Surrounding bone and gum tissue then grows around the anchor, after which an even smaller titanium extension is secured to the implant and a new natural looking dental Crown (or tooth cap) is secured over the dental implant. This Dental Crown can be made of robust porcelain or ceramic and will be professionally matched to the colour of your natural teeth.

Dental Implants can look, feel and be as robust as your natural teeth !

Teeth That Look and Feel Like Your Own - it's like having your real teeth back

What Dental Implants Can Do?

• Replace one or more teeth without affecting bordering teeth.
• Support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture.
• Provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

In order to support the implant, there needs to be adequate bone in the mouth so candidates will need to be in good oral health. Dental implants work best with patients who have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease.
