Dental implants are now becoming a more popular treatment than partial dentures and conventional bridges for the replacement of missing teeth. They provide a long term solution, slow down bone loss and preserve surrounding healthy tooth tissue.
The implant itself is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in your jaw-bone, acting as an artificial root. It is then used to secure a crown, bridge or denture in place.
Why have Implants?
- Implants are more comfortable than conventional dentures because there is no slipping movement.
- Dental implants are the alternative to bridgework for permanently replacing missing teeth, eliminating the need to cut into healthy teeth either side of the gap.
- When teeth are missing the surrounding bone begins to shrink. Dental Implants can help maintain the shape and structure of the jaw bone.
