It may seem like an impossible dream but advances in dental technology allow missing teeth to be permanently replaced with dental implants.
A dental implant is a substitute for a natural tooth root made from titanium which is placed into the socket of the missing tooth. The implant makes contact with the bone in the jaw which will over time grow around the implant. The structure which the implant will support can then be constructed. This could be a single tooth a bridge or even a full denture.
Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost one or more teeth due to periodontal disease or dental injury. Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. A thorough evaluation by your dentist will help determine whether dental implants are right for you.
This innovative treatment allows patients avoid wearing dentures to enable you to eat and smile with confidence.
