Dental implants are small titanium screws that are carefully and gently placed into your jaw bones. The jaw bone then grows into the screw threads locking the implant in place. The dental implant is then used to hold either a crown, bridge or dentures into place.

There are many reasons a patient might come to see us for dental implants:

• unsightly gaps
• loose and ill fitting dentures
• teeth deteriorating and requiring extraction
• loss of teeth following surgery or cancer treatment
• loss of teeth after an accident, car or sports injury

Dental implants allow us to restore teeth to the closest we have to a natural dentition. They can help restore your confidence to allow you to socialise again, eat out in public, play sports and just smile.

Once placed, dental implants need to be maintained in the same way as your natural teeth with regular checks and we recommend regular visits to your dental hygienist for maintenance therapy.
