What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a natural-looking solution for missing teeth and can be a great alternative to dentures or bridges. A dental implant is made up of a titanium screw that is fixed into the jaw, and a dental crown or false tooth is attached on top.
Why might I need an implant?
Missing teeth create problems with eating, speaking and can have a huge impact on your confidence. If you are concerned about your replacement teeth looking realistic or coming loose, implants are an ideal option. We love dental implants because not only do they safeguard your overall dental health, they give you ability to eat, laugh and smile without a second thought.
