Dental Implants
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth rather than the visible part of it. A small screw-shaped post — usually titanium, sometimes a ceramic (zirconia) alternative — is placed into the jawbone and left to bond with it over a healing period, after which it can carry a crown, a bridge, or a denture. Because the support comes from bone rather than from the teeth on either side, healthy neighbouring teeth do not have to be cut down, and the bone in that area keeps being loaded and used. Implant treatment is staged over several appointments rather than finished in one, and how suitable it is for you depends on your gum health, how much bone is available, and your general medical background.
