Implants

Dental implants are the best substitutes for natural teeth.  An implant offers a permanent and secure solution for replacing one or more teeth.

A dental implant replaces a tooth root that is integrated into the jaw bone.  Implants can be used to support a number of dental prostheses, including crowns, implant-supported bridges or dentures. A typical implant consists of a titanium screw with a roughened or smooth surface. 

Implants, as we know them today, have been in existence for at least twenty-five years. For the last ten years, however, success rates at many treatment centres are consistently over 95% with proper personal and professional care. Few forms of medical, orthopaedic or dental treatment have such high success rates.

People often choose to replace an unsalvagable or missing tooth in order to throw away a partial denture, improve their ability to chew and their appearance, and to prevent potential wear and tear to remaining teeth. 

Please note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriate qualified health professional.
