Implants
Missing teeth can often
be replaced by implants. Implants are made of
titanium and act like roots of teeth.
After they have been fitted and have healed in place,
dentures or crowns may be attached to them.
When dentures are held in place by implants they
do not slip around. If crowns are fitted on implants,
they act as normal teeth.
Implants can only be placed if there is enough bone
present in a jaw. When teeth are lost the bone around
the teeth gradually dissolves away. If too much bone
has been lost, it is sometimes possible to grow
bone in its place.
We provide a variety of types of implants that will
solve all problems of missing teeth. Implant treatment
is more complex and therefore requires thorough treatment
planning. The treatment time can last from
4-12 months depending on the complexity of the case.
Implants provide the perfect solution for missing
teeth
After a thorough detailed examination and x-rays we
will be able to provide an appropriate plan for your
implant needs.
