Single tooth replacement
If you have lost a tooth and are looking for a long-term solution, dental implants could be for you. They are strong, permanent, and look and feel completely natural – the next best thing to still having your own tooth.
What are dental implants?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made from high-grade titanium that is placed into the upper or lower jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place. The implant is allowed to bond with the living bone and then serves as an anchor for the replacement tooth.
The outcome is a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Implants have many benefits:
- No dental damage
- Improved comfort
- Improved appearance
- Improved speech
- Better chewing
- Better social confidence and self-esteem
Implants have a high long-term survival rate – reports of over 95% success over five years or longer are not uncommon.
