Dental implants
Dental Implants are a treatment option for the replacement of irreparably damaged or missing teeth. The procedure involves the placement of titanium anchors into the jawbone. The bone then heals around the anchors. Once this occurs it is then strong enough to support a false tooth.

The dentist will make an initial assessment as to whether the patient is suitable for the placement of a dental implant, based on general medical factors and the presence of enough bone to support the dental implant. Where there is not enough bone, a bone graft can sometimes assist with this problem.

Emiliano Zanaboni has been placing dental implants for our patients at Harpenden Dental Centre and for patients referred to us from other practices for many years. He is without question an outstanding surgeon.

Emiliano is a specialist periodontist and is a specialist clinical lecturer in periodontics and periodontal surgery at Guy’s Hospital, KCL.
