Dental implants have revolutionised many aspects of modern dental treatment and have become a popular and reliable solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is gently placed into the gap created by a missing tooth and acts as an artificial tooth root.
Your body then grows bone around the implant which acts as a base for a crown (the top part of the tooth), bridge (two or more missing teeth) or even full denture. Once implant treatment is finished, many patients forget they are even there!
