IMPLANTS

The loss of a tooth could be caused by many different reasons; tooth decay, infection, gum disease, trauma, or removal of an impacted tooth.

A single dental implant is the most functional secure replacement for a missing tooth, allowing you to eat, smile, and laugh confidently.

​We will place a single titanium implant into the jaw, acting as the replacement root. It’s a straightforward process that can be completed under local anaesthetic. The implant will need three to six months to heal and integrate with your jaw bone to provide solid support for your replacement tooth.

A temporary crown is usually fitted simultaneously as your implant placement, which will stay in place until the final restoration appointment.
​
Once your jaw has healed, an abutment will be fixed to the implant to hold your replacement tooth (crown) in place. Abutments are produced in titanium, gold or porcelain, and can come as a standard fit or crafted specifically for you. These options offer a range of aesthetic results, depending on your requirements. A crown is then fitted on top to replace your missing tooth.
