What are implants?

Dental implants are a favoured and successful method for replacing missing teeth. They effectively replace missing tooth roots, forming a stable foundation for replacement teeth that can look, feel and function similarly to natural teeth. Dental implants also help preserve the remaining bone by providing the stimulation previously provided by the natural tooth roots.

There are numerous advantages of dental implant treatment over other treatment options. For example it is unnecessary to grind down the adjacent teeth for a bridge, or secure a partial denture to adjacent teeth with clasps or hooks which can cause tooth loosening. Implant supported replacement teeth spare patients many of the disadvantages of traditional false teeth.
