What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a replacement for the root portion of your tooth and sits fixed within your jawbone to support a single crown, bridges or dentures. Implants are made from titanium, which is biocompatible with your own body tissues and safe to use.

What does the procedure usually involve?
Dental implants are usually placed under local anaesthesia, the procedure is usually painless. For anxious patients or long procedures we can provide intravenous sedation. First a small hole is drilled into your jawbone using a special drill The titanium implant is then inserted into this hole and fits tightly. The implant is usually left in place to heal for 3-6 months. During this period you will be provided with temporary teeth while your bone tissue grows around the implant by a process called osseointegration. Once the implant has fully integrated with your bone tissue it is strong enough to support a crown, bridge or secure a denture in place.
