Missing teeth and gaps can have a dramatic, negative impact on the surrounding gum tissue and can lead to the deterioration of the jawbone.  It can also make you feel embarrassed about showing your teeth and instil a lack confidence in the individual.

Dental implants look and feel natural and they’re a convenience as you won’t have to worry about dentures. A dental implant can improve your ability to eat and in some cases improve your speech.

Partial Dentures can often feel uncomfortable, but an appointment with your dental implant specialist can change that. Dental implant treatment has been proven to give you overall health benefits such as decreased bone shrinkage and superior protection of the bone, while supporting the muscular structure of your whole face.  They will give you the freedom to chew food comfortably, without the pain or irritation. They will even give you the benefit of eliminating distasteful adhesives that you would experience with a denture. When dental implants are well looked after, they can be expected to last from 20 years to up to a life time.

Dental implant procedures involve removing the tooth’s root and are used in prosthetic dentistry to support restorations that resemble a tooth or group of teeth.  A dental tooth implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone, filling in the gap, where your original tooth would have been, and creating a dramatic visual improvement. Dental implants allow you to recapture the health and appearance of your smile after tooth loss, so you can feel confident when showing off your new smile.
