What Are Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are a dental fixture acting as a root for your teeth.

Dental Implants are generally made from Titanium and are essentially a screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone.

The Foundation of A New Smile
A Dental Implant takes on the role of an anchor within the mouth, which is then used to fasten a ‘false tooth’ into position. As the mouth heals, approximately two to six months after surgery; the bone and Implant begin to fuse together. Small posts or abutments are then attached to the Implants, which are used to anchor Crowns, Bridges or more complex structures.

Are You A Good Candidate?
Dental Implants may be the ideal solution but not everyone is the ideal candidate. If you have suffered from severe gum disease leading to periodontal disease then dental implants may not be appropriate. This is because there needs to be sufficient jawbone available in which the implants are to be fitted. We can discuss your suitability for dental implants at our consultation.
