Dental Implants
Smile With Confidence Again
If you’ve lost your teeth due to gum disease or in an accident, dental implants could offer the perfect solution. As they can be used to replace one or more missing teeth, dental implants are great for those with gaps in their mouth, both large and small. They blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, function just as well, and deliver long-lasting results.
What Are Dental Implants and How Do They Work?
A dental implant is a titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. The bone surrounding the implant then fuses to it over time, which is just one of the reasons why dental implants are so long-lasting. A false tooth is then fitted on top of the implant, color-matched, and shaped to blend perfectly with your smile.
Who Are Dental Implants Suitable For?
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are suitable candidates for dental implants. However, certain factors, such as smoking, gum disease, and low bone density can affect your suitability. If you’re under 18, you also can’t get dental implants, as your jaw will not have finished developing.
If you think dental implants might be right for you, we suggest booking a consultation with one of our friendly dentists.
