Dental Implants are the most modern, natural and comfortable solution for dealing with the loss of teeth, either of one tooth or many teeth. They are an excellent substitute for a natural tooth root and can allow you to once again have fixed permanent teeth instead of a gap. In an ideal world missing teeth should be replaced as soon as possible as the gap that is left behind by an extraction leaves other teeth unsupported and over time the teeth either side of the gap can move causing weakness in the area.

A dental implant is a small round titanium post that is placed in the jawbone where the missing tooth was located. If there is one missing tooth, a single implant is used. If there is more than one tooth missing, a number of implants might be used to support a bridge or retain a denture.
