Dental Implants & Implantology
Could we have the missing piece to your dental puzzle?
While we all try our best to maintain good dental hygiene, sometimes we can find ourselves in sticky situations - whether that’s losing a tooth due to playing sport, diet or lifestyle factors.
Thankfully, dental implants could be the solution you’re looking for and can help restore a natural looking smile while providing the functionality of a real tooth.
What are dental implants?
Unlike removable dentures, dental implants are permanent “teeth” that are created to look and feel like your regular teeth. Because they’re fitted into your mouth and created just for you, they are an ideal solution for anyone who has lost one or more teeth.
Who might need dental implants?
Anyone who has lost one or more teeth (however that may have occurred) should consider dental implants, especially if you:
Have a fully grown and healthy jawbone
Don’t have gum disease or a bone healing condition
What type of dental implants are there?
Single tooth implant - for those needing to replace a single tooth.
Multiple tooth implants - for those needing to replace a row or set or adjacent teeth.
Full set of teeth implants - for those who have lost all or most of their teeth, or for those who wear dentures.
