When was the last time you were able to bite into an apple or tuck into a steak with confidence?
Missing teeth, loose teeth and dentures that are prone to slipping out at the most inconvenient moment aren’t just a cosmetic problem. They place annoying limits on what you can eat, and the constant draining effect on confidence can be exhausting.
Dental implants are a world away from the ‘false teeth’ you’ve probably seen before. Fixed in place permanently using strong titanium implants, they look and feel just like the real thing and can be used to replace anything from a single tooth to a full set.
We’ll start by using our in-house machine to take an X-Ray and make sure your jawbone is healthy enough to accept implants. In a handful of cases, a strengthening treatment is needed before beginning.
Once we’re sure all is well, we’ll fit the titanium implants in a quick and painless procedure under local anaesthetic. These serve as a brand new root for your replacement teeth.
Once the new teeth are attached, it usually takes around seven days before you can return to enjoying your favourite foods – but you can start smiling again right from minute one.
