Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots which are either used to fix teeth in place or to make dentures tight. They are very successful, over 95% last over 15 years. Having the implants fitted is much easier than people expect, there may be some swelling but normally any discomfort is easily managed with painkillers. An important breakthrough in implant treatment now allows us to replace your failing teeth with new fixed teeth in just one day. We use implants to fill gaps where teeth are missing. This may be to replace one or several teeth but even if all the teeth in a jaw are missing or failing we can often still use implants to give you fixed teeth in just one day.
