When a tooth is lost it can severely affect your dental health, confidence and the appearance of your smile. Dental implants are a permanent solution that will mimic your natural teeth and provide a fully functional replacement for missing teeth. Looking and feeling natural; dental implants can give you something to smile about.

Dental implants take on the role of an anchor within the mouth which is used to hold replacment teeth in position. Surgically placed into the jawbone, dental implants are typically a small screw shaped attachment made from titanium. Approximately two to six months after surgery; the bone and Implant begin to fuse together. Small posts or abutments are then attached to the implant, which are used to anchor crowns, bridges or dentures.

Dental implants provide increased stability in the mouth, aid with biting pressure as well as reduced irritation and improved speech. Just a few of the main benefits dental implants provide include:

• Aesthetically pleasing - they look like real teeth.
  
  
• Functional - they act and feel like real teeth.
  
  
• Beneficial to your diet - you can eat and chew again without pain or irritation. Foods that were forbidden are now back in the diet!
  
  
• Eliminate distasteful adhesives - There is no longer a need to use "glue" when your prosthesis is anchored to Implants.
  
  
• Enjoy your favourite foods - Implants can actually allow for the improved enjoyment of the textures and flavours of your favourite foods. With less plastic covering the roof of your mouth, you can enjoy natural flavours and sensations again.
  
  
• Maintain bone structure - Implants can help maintain your bone structure and support your facial tissues. They can reduce or eliminate bone atrophy, which causes "shrinkage" or facial cosmetic changes
