What are dental implants?
Dental implants are the next best thing to natural teeth. They offer a secure, effective and aesthetic solution to the challenges of missing teeth, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
Implants are placed in the jaw bone to perfectly mimic natural tooth roots. They are made of a biocompatible titanium material that can stimulate bone growth, creating a strong, stable foundation for a crown, bridge or denture to be fitted on top.
Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or a whole arch (full arch restoration). They offer a fixed alternative to removable appliances, such as removable dentures, allowing you to regain the look, feel and function of natural teeth, and eliminate the worry that your appliance will become loose or slip when you eat or speak. More importantly, dental implants do not impact on healthy adjacent teeth.
