How do Dental Implants work?

Dental implants are placed into the old tooth root position and integrate fully into the jaw bone. This creates a secure and permanent foundation for the replacement tooth. Most patients are suitable candidates for dental implants and the results can look aesthetically superb, providing complete confidence when smiling and eating all your favourite foods.

Fitting Dental Implants

Dental implants are placed via a small invasive procedure, where a titanium implant is fitted securely into the bone. Most patients choose sedation although the procedure can also be carried out under local anaesthetic. After a natural healing process whereby the implant is fully fused into the bone, a post or abutment can be fixed on to the implant. It is on this post that the porcelain crown or bridge is then fitted.

Single and Multiple Tooth Replacement

Dental implants are recommended for replacing single missing teeth right up to complete tooth restoration in the upper and lower jaws.
