What is a dental implant..?

An implant is a metal blade or post which is surgically inserted into your jawbone.

Some older implants were made of steel, but implants in current use are made of titanium with various surface coatings for different applications. Researchers are also looking at some ceramics as an alternative.

The titanium insert is biological stable, and is considered to be osteogenic, in that it encourages new bone formation. Your bone grows right onto your implant, forming a solid structure.

We can then subsequently place single crowns, bridgework, or attachments to retain dentures on top of your implants.

This enables us to restore the form, function and aesthetics of your mouth, enabling you to eat and smile with confidence.

The placement of implants helps to prevent the loss of your jawbone which naturally occurs with loss of teeth. As such it helps maintain the strength and shape of your jaws, and contributes to maintaining a youthful appearance.

Implants can be placed in almost anyone over 16. They are not normally used in children, as their bones are not fully grown.

Current success rates with implants are over 95%.
