Dental implants are a well-established and superior treatment option for replacing missing teeth. A dental implant is the closest thing available to having your own natural tooth.
Single Tooth Implants
A dental implant is often the best prosthetic option to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of two main components: 1) A bio-compatible titanium post which is placed surgically within the jaw bone, and 2) a solid porcelain crown which is cemented or screwed onto the post.
Implant-retained Bridges and Dentures
As well as a single tooth, implants can be used to replace multiple teeth, and even support a full denture. Again, a proper preliminary assessment is required to determine the suitable treatment options. Usually, multiple implants are placed by the oral surgeon, after which our dentist will construct a bridge or denture to secure onto the implant posts. This is a great option for those people who are unable to tolerate dentures and require a superior, fixed alternative.
