This technique is used to fill gaps with Titanium screws to replace a missing tooth root. The Implant is surgically placed in the jaw bone and acts as an anchor for the replacement tooth. This then allows for the placement of Crowns and Bridgework. Dental Implants can also be used to stabilise Dentures, providing increased support and retention.

Dental Implants are the next best thing to a natural tooth. They look and feel natural and can be expected to last for 20 years to life.

They also provide amazing stability for patients, aiding with biting pressure as well as reducing irritation and ulcers that are often experienced by Denture wearers. Many people also experience a renewed confidence while speaking, enhanced self-esteem, improved facial appearance and a better overall attitude toward life.

But why is it important to replace missing teeth? When natural teeth are removed, many problems can occur. Missing teeth can have a dramatic negative impact on the surrounding gum tissue and can also lead to the deterioration of the jawbone. The remaining teeth may shift, rotate and become crooked. An improper bite may develop, making it very difficult to chew food properly.

Candidates for Dental Implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the Implant. A thorough evaluation by us will help determine whether you are a good candidate for Dental Implants.
