Dental Implants are a permanent and effective solution to replace missing teeth. 

​

A dental implant is an artificial tooth that replicates the real thing with a titanium cylinder that is inserted into the jawbone. Over a few months, this fuses with the bone and will act as the new “root” to which a crown or bridge is then attached. This means implants look, feel and function just like regular teeth.

​

Dental implant treatment can take between 3-6 months depending on healing time between placing your implant and fitting the final crown.

Dentures

If you do not have any of your natural teeth left then you may benefit from dentures. Dentures provide structure to your smile and prevent the surrounding facial muscles from sagging.

​

In addition to dental implants, dentures can also be used to replace single missing teeth, though with less stability and permanency.

Bridges

Bridges are another alternative to replace missing or damaged teeth. Bridges can either be supported by crowns or they can be attached to other natural teeth using a composite bonding technique.
