SINGLE TOOTH REPLACEMENT

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root, which provides the foundation for a crown to replace a missing tooth. Under local anaesthetic, a dental implant is placed into the jaw bone using a very gentle surgical procedure. The implant remains undisturbed for 2 to 3 months so the bone can heal and form a biological bond with the implant. Following the appropriate bone healing period impressions can be taken to fabricate the final crown. The "new tooth" looks, feels and is as stable as natural tooth.
   
 
     
 

MULTIPLE TOOTH REPLACEMENT

Traditionally, removable partial dentures have been the method to replace missing back teeth or molars. Implants provide an alternative treatment. By placing
a group of implants, with their corresponding porcelain crowns, you can achieve the replacement of missing teeth, improved esthetics and improved chewing function in a “natural” way.
