Types of Dental Implants:

There are many different types of implants depending on what we are planning to achieve with them.

• Replacing a single tooth; If you are missing a single tooth, one implant and crown can replace it. A dental implant replaces both the lost natural tooth and its root.
• Replacing several teeth; If you are missing several teeth, implant supported bridges can replace them. The implants also have the advantage of stimulating the jaw bone and keeping it healthy.
• Replacing all of your teeth; If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported bridge or full denture can replace them. Implants also work well for people who are struggling with loose uncomfortable dentures

Benefits of Dental Implants:

Dental implants are a great way of replacing missing teeth. They are a conservative, fixed solution for replacing missing teeth, meaning they look and feel just like your natural tooth. Implants allow you to speak, eat and function normally and without discomfort. The finished result is an extremely durable, aesthetic tooth which also prevents unwanted tooth movement and prevents wear of neighbouring natural teeth, which may prevent further tooth loss in the future. Dental implants, unlike conventional bridgework, don’t sacrifice the quality of your adjacent teeth. More of your own teeth are left untouched, a significant long-term benefit to your oral health.
