Considered an ideal option for replacing missing teeth or for providing a permanent alternative to dentures, a dental implant is an artificial tooth root that your dentist can place into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth in place.
What is a dental implant?
There are two parts to every tooth: the crown and the root. With dental implants, the root is made of titanium, which is placed into the gum to form a secure foundation. The crown (or replacement tooth) is fitted on top to create a comfortable, life-like replacement.
Why dental implants?
There are many ways to replace tooth crowns, but only dental implants can replace the entire tooth including both crown and root. Dental implants really are the next best thing to having your own teeth. Leaving the missing tooth space empty may not sound too serious, but the consequences of not filling in the space from the missing tooth can include:
The teeth adjacent to your missing tooth can change position to fill the gap
The loss of your missing tooth’s root can cause your jawbone to shrink, making your face appear prematurely older
A missing tooth in the front of your mouth can affect your smile and your self-confidence
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Natural looking, astonishing result
No one will know you have dental implants unless you tell them. The visible part of your dental implant is a life-like, tooth coloured crown that is crafted to look, feel and function just like your natural teeth - matching them in size, colour, contour and shape.
Reassuringly reliable, safe and long lasting
Modern dental implant techniques and technology have been extensively researched and used for over 30 years. Dental implants are made of pure titanium which the body accepts like no other metal; they are therefore proven to be safe, biologically compatible and can become part of you for a very long time. Dental implants are the perfect way to replace missing teeth.
Investing in your future appearance
Dental implants don’t just offer a cost-effective, safe and natural looking way to achieving a confident new smile, they can also help you keep your youthful looks for longer. Filling gaps in your smile means that over time, the rest of your teeth stay where they should be. Dental implants preserve facial contours that would otherwise begin to look hollow with jawbone shrinkage, when teeth are missing.

As a patient, your clinical options will be fully discussed with you and a treatment plan established to reflect your unique needs.
