It is a small screw shaped attachment made from titanium which is fitted into your jawbone to take the place of a missing tooth root. A new tooth can then be fitted onto the implant once it has taken hold.

Aesthetically they are superior to other types of treatment but they will also remain strong for a long period of time. Once the treatment is complete a routine of careful dental hygiene and regular check ups will ensure that the implants last for a significant amount of time.

If you are using dentures as an existing means of replacing missing teeth then implants will change the way that you think about food significantly. Not only will your mouth feel ‘natural’ you will also be able to eat a healthy diet with little or no difficulty which helps to lessen any anxieties about embarrassing moments and develops confidence in oneself.
