Implants
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 an implant, based on general medical factors and the presence of enough bone to support the implant. Where there is not enough bone, a bone graft can sometimes assist with this problem.
