Dental implants have revolutionised oral function control for those with artificial teeth. People who have lost one or more teeth can use dental implants to secure a denture, bridge or crown.
The ultimate missing tooth replacement
There are plenty of causes for tooth loss, including tooth decay, gum disease and oral trauma. No matter what the reason, the gap left by a lost tooth places pressure on the remaining teeth and can make them more likely to move out of their original positions. Suitable replacements for missing teeth include crowns, bridges and dentures, each of which can be anchored by dental implants to provide the strength and stability of a natural tooth.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post inserted into the jaw bone to replace a missing tooth root. The implant fuses with the natural jawbone through a process called osseointegration.
Dental implant suitability
Our implant dentist will assess your oral health to make sure you’re suitable for dental implants. Not everyone is a good candidate as the treatment depends on good jawbone health and density. Sometimes, bone augmentation or sinus lifting can be carried to enable implant insertion.
