DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are an alternative option to other restorative solutions like dentures and dental bridges. Implants replace the natural root of your tooth and support an artificial replacement tooth.

Dental implants are screw-like titanium roots that are inserted into the jawbone. An abutment is attached to the artificial root and is then covered by a crown.

Dental implants require multiple surgical procedures. At your first appointment, your mouth will be numbed and an incision will be made in your gum. Then a hole will be drilled into the area and your dental implant will be placed. Your gum tissue is then stitched back into place, and over the next few months the implant will bond with the gum.

In your second appointment, the implant will be re-exposed and an abutment will be placed. Your dentist will create a mould of the abutment and a crown will be created. This crown will be cemented onto the abutment at your next appointment.
