Dental implants are fast becoming one of the most popular and aesthetically pleasing ways of replacing missing teeth. An implant is a small titanium metal rod that is placed into the jawbone to replace a missing natural tooth root.
Once osseointegration (when the jawbone integrates with the implant) has occurred this artificial root acts as a base for fixing a replacement tooth or teeth, which will look, feel and function just like the real thing.
Dental implants are a proven, well-established, and safe treatment. With proper care, over 90% of today’s implants will last at least ten years or possibly a lifetime.
