Dental Implants

Dental implants are usually made from titanium and replace missing tooth roots.

Crowns, bridges or dentures can be secured to dental implants to replace your missing teeth. Dental implants are the best way to maintain appearance and function following tooth loss because they maintain the bone and gum supporting the teeth. When a tooth is lost or removed the bone which supported the tooth can shrink back, and If left, this can lead to a loss of support to the face and lips. Such bone loss may have profound effects on chewing, talking, appearance and self confidence but if placed early enough, dental implants will prevent this from occurring.
