Dental Implants
A great substitute for a missing natural tooth, an implant is a screw made from medical grade titanium that is surgically placed under the gum line, allowing it to knit naturally into the jawbone before being capped with a full crown, bridge or other replacement.
Replacement of missing teeth is crucial for good oral health, as it prevents bone deterioration which can cause dental and facial changes. One of the main advantages implants have when compared to bridges is that they are freestanding and therefore do not require disturbing the teeth on either side of the space.
Implants are becoming more popular to achieve that perfect smile; however they are more expensive and may take longer to complete. Consultation with our dental team will determine if implants are the most suitable option for you.
