These are strong, durable artificial roots, on which removable or permanent prostheses are fixed.
Titanium implants are used to replace missing teeth, and can be used instead of bridgework. They are painlessly positioned into the bone of your jaw, and once they have been allowed to ‘fix’ into place, a porcelain crown is fitted on top to match in with the rest of your smile.
The implants create new anchor points in places where one or several teeth are missing.
Advantages:
The comfort and looks of a perfectly normal set of teeth, without any feeling of unease.
Implants can restore the self-confidence often resulting from badly fitting denture
They reduce the bone resorption caused by the absence of teeth. By maintaining the basis of the soft tissues, the aging and hollowing of the face is delayed.
