Implants are a long-lasting and discreet solution for replacing either failing or missing teeth. Not only can missing teeth affect your confidence, but it can also have an impact on how you eat and speak.

Dental implants are titanium screws that are placed into your jawbone to replace the root of your missing teeth. Once fitted, the bone surrounding the implant will slowly fuse to it, firmly holding it in place. A crown or a denture is then fitted on top of the implant to complete your smile.

Why Have Implants?

Implants are popular because of how discreet and long-lasting they are. They also give confidence back to those individuals who have previously had a single tooth or multiple teeth missing. Dental implants also help to restore function and prevent bone loss to keep your mouth healthier for longer.

Who Are They For?

Implants are suitable for most individuals over the age of 18 years that are in good health. However, there are some certain lifestyle habits that may affect your suitability for dental implants – these include gum disease, smoking, or if you’ve previously had radiotherapy around your jaw.
