Dental Implants

A dental implant (also known as an endosseous implant or fixture) is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, or facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. The basis for modern dental implants is a biologic process called osseointegration, in which materials such as titanium or zirconia form an intimate bond to bone. The implant fixture is first placed so that it is likely to osseointegrate, then a dental prosthetic is added. A variable amount of healing time is required for osseointegration before either the dental prosthetic (a tooth, bridge or denture) is attached to the implant or an abutment is placed which will hold a dental prosthetic/crown.

Dental implants help restore your smile and your self-confidence. If you suffer from missing teeth or damaged teeth that need removing then implants can provide you with a long lasting solution to your dental problems.

They will fix the functionality of your teeth so you can eat and drink with ease and comfort. Implants can also fix any speech issues that have occurred due to damaged or missing teeth.
