Dental Implants offer a permanent solution to the problem of missing teeth. They are a durable, stable and fully functional replacement for your natural teeth. If you have a missing tooth or teeth you may find that adjacent teeth begin to change position. By altering the shape of the face it may lead to premature aging. This can be resolved with dental implants.

Though complex, the treatment for dental implants is straightforward consisting of two main parts:

• Fixture: A small titanium fixture (abutment) is placed in the bone where the root of the missing tooth used to be
• Restoration: A crown or bridge restoration is attached to the fixture above the gum

These two components make up a dental implant and completely replace the missing tooth. Over time, the fixture fuses to the bone, acting as an anchor for the replacement tooth. This makes the entire structure very stable.

An all-ceramic dental crown or bridge is secured to a dental implant providing a complete and beautiful solution. A dental implant takes the place of the missing tooth’s root and helps prevent all problems gained from missing teeth.

Dental implants are very effective if you have a single missing tooth or require Full Mouth Rehabilitation. Dental implants are a lifetime solution, bringing your smile back to you.
