Dental implants are man-made replacements for natural teeth & are essentially permanent, attached teeth that replace partials, bridges or dentures.
The implants themselves are artificial tooth roots anchored in the gum or jawbone, on which replacement teeth are permanently secured. A titanium implant is permanently attached to your bone & a prosthetic tooth (crown) is attached to the implant. Dental implants are preferred to bridges because they can improve your bite without damaging neighbouring teeth (like a bridge might). Treatment can be finished in three to five visits over the space of about four to 12 months.
