Dental Implants
Replacing a missing tooth with a fixed titanium root and a crown on top.
An implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement root, with a crown fitted on top once it has healed.
Suitability depends on bone volume and quality, gum health and general medical history. Some patients need preparatory treatment first; some are better suited to a bridge or denture.
The process takes several months, as healing between stages cannot be rushed.
