Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered to be the 'gold standard' in the replacement of missing teeth. Where a tooth absolutely has to be removed, a dental implant can be placed into this site and a porcelain crown attached on top, to replace the tooth without having to drill the adjacent teeth, unlike with the provision of a bridge.
This is how they work:
-
Dental implants are small metal screws that are placed in the jaw in place of a missing tooth.
-
Once established, crowns, bridges and dentures can be fixed onto the implants, creating a natural-looking and stable restoration.

Life Benefits

When you lose your natural teeth, your jaw bone and surrounding tissues start to resorb or disappear over time. When implants are placed in the jaw, it stimulates the remaining bone to grow and mesh around the metal, along with tiny blood vessels, preventing bone loss.

-
Retained bone structure prevents the face from acquiring a 'sunken' look.
