Dental Implants

Dental Implants, a new revolution in dentistry, are the perfect solution to the problem of replacing missing teeth and stabilising loose dentures. An implant is a titanium post or root that is surgically placed into the jawbone and functions exactly like your own tooth’s root.

Once integrated with the bone it can be used to fill a gap caused by the loss of a tooth or teeth with either a crown or a bridge. It can also be used to support and retain loose dentures preventing embarrassing ‘slips’ and enabling you to chew more naturally.

The cosmetic and functional results are as good as natural teeth and can last for many years. Success rates, depending on the source of the research vary between 90% and 100% over a 10 year period. Some research has shown over 30 years success.



Are Implants expensive?

In the short term it may seem that they are but you are investing in your quality of life and for the long term. They may last you your whole lifetime and often cost less than a family holiday, a hi-tech TV or a used car! It is a matter of priorities.

Remember, you are investing in your quality of life!
