What are Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are artificial teeth that are used in place of teeth that never developed are lost or extracted. While some would categorise it as cosmetic dentistry it also has its role in restoration and therapeutic dentistry.

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and also provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures. Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances.

Dental implants replace the tooth root with an artificial root which is usually made of titanium that is surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist.

Reasons for Dental Implants

• Replace missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth
• Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space
• Restore a patient’s confident smile
