Dental Implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to disease an injury, or some other reason.
Please see an example of a dental implant supported restorative case:
This patient presented with unrestorable (unfixable) upper right central and lateral incisors, along with poor quality crowns on the other two (left) incisors. |
|
In this x-ray we can see where two implant supported crowns were placed.
|  |
| The end result is a much more natural and appealing smile. The implants appear just like natural teeth as do the neighbouring crowns. The gum has been altered to ensure all incisors are even in height. |  |
