When anchored into your jawbone, they will support a crown, bridge or denture where you have one or more missing teeth.

They are often the perfect solution for those wanting to improve the appearance of a gappy smile. Dental implants are titanium posts that are tightly fitted into the jaw bone. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a crown will then be fitted onto the titanium post. Where there are multiple missing teeth, implants can be placed to hold bridges or support dentures in place. Dental implants can be placed in any healthy adult patient with good quality, fully developed jawbones. Most people who have a good standard of oral hygiene and are in good health, are suitable for dental implants.

In many cases, dental implants are a predictable replacement for the root portion of your missing natural tooth. When anchored into your jawbone, they will support a crown, bridge or denture where you have one or more missing teeth. They can provide a highly aesthetic solution to replacing teeth, as well as preventing the remaining teeth from drifting or moving out of position. They are often the perfect solution for those wanting to improve the appearance of a gappy smile.

Dental implants are titanium posts that are tightly fitted into the jaw bone. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a crown will then be fitted onto the titanium post. Where there are multiple missing teeth, implants can be placed to hold bridges or support dentures in place.

Dental implants can be placed in any healthy adult patient with good quality, fully developed jawbones. Most people who have a good standard of oral hygiene and are in good health, are suitable for dental implants.

PATIENT INFORMATION

While most cases involve a wait of a few months between the surgical placement of an implant and the fitting of the final crown, on occasion where the implant is stable, it may be possible for the crown to be fitted sooner. Sometimes it may be necessary to wear a temporary denture for cosmetic reasons. For patients who already have a full set of dentures, they are usually able to keep wearing them (with minor modifications) until the implants are healed.
