Dental Implants
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a restorative treatment that offers patients a natural-looking option to replace missing teeth. Both visually and functionally dental implants are near identical to that of natural teeth.
Dental implants can also be used to support bridges replacing single missing teeth, bridges that restore a larger span of missing teeth, or even dentures. The implants are a safe and convenient way to replace lost teeth with natural-looking results!
Dental implants have a number of important advantages over bridges and dentures:
- Implants look and feel like natural teeth.
- Implants function in the same way as natural teeth and there are no difficulties with eating or cleaning the teeth.
- Healthy adjacent teeth do not have to be filed down to act as supports for the missing tooth or teeth. This means that they are therefore less likely to need root fillings.
- The presence of the implant maintains the structure of the bone beneath the replaced tooth, as chewing forces are transmitted through the implant to the bone and stimulate the natural process of bone renewal. This helps preserve a good appearance, both of the restored teeth and of the face.
- Dental implants can be used to give removable dentures a firm grip.
- With dental implants, there is no need to use special glues to hold the false teeth in place, as there is with some dentures.
There are a number of restorative options available for the treatment of missing teeth, however none are proven to be as functionally effective and durable as dental implants.

What To Expect
Dental implants are suitable for most adults with good general health. Almost every dental implant in use today is made from titanium or titanium alloy, materials scientifically proven to be tolerated by bone.
A dental implant is a cylinder-shaped screw, manufactured to substitute a natural tooth. Each implant is placed into a carefully drilled socket in the bone. The main aim during installation is for the screw thread of the implant, to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding bone. This initial stability is enhanced over time by further bone growth into the surfaces on the implant. This process is known as osseointegration.
How well you look after your implants, and whether you go for regular maintenance appointments, will have the biggest impact on how long the implants will last. Dental implants look, feel and act the same as your own teeth, as such they require the same care, with regular check ups, brushing and flossing.
