What is a Dental Implant?
The best way to replace a missing tooth is to replicate it as closely as possible – this is what a dental implant does. It is essentially a titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jaw bone to replace the missing tooth root.
Once embedded in the bone, it acts as an anchor for the visible part which may be a crown, bridge or a support element for a denture.
Why choose an Implant?
A dental implant offer many benefits such as:
- Feels and looks like your natural tooth
