Dental Implant
Permanent Tooth Replacement
If an implant is placed as soon after a tooth is extracted, the jawbone is preserved and its further loss is prevented. For this reason, it is recommended not to delay the decision to place implants, as the bone will be lost in time which can make the placement of implants much more difficult.


The surfaces of these implants are intended to permit fusion to the nearby bone. An Implant will become a part of you, making it a long-term solution to replace missing teeth. An Implant is effectively placed in the hole left by the tooth root.
An Abutment (which is a small object) is secured to the Implant then a Crown is fixed to the Abutment. When a patient is given an Immediate implant placement, this means that implantation is carried out at the same time after extraction into the extraction socket. The benefit of having this done is that it can be fitted from start to finish in one appointment.

Missing Teeth
Dental Implants are a permanent replacement for a missing tooth or multiple teeth
They can also be used to secure and stabilise dentures.


The lost bone and tooth (teeth) are usually replaced by fixed bridges or removable dentures to restore mastication. speech and appearance.
As with all artificial alternatives, there are drawbacks to these replacements. Dentures reduce your ability to eat as well as normal teeth would and you can also suffer from poor retention. Whilst, bridges involve cutting away healthy teeth in order to provide support for these missing teeth.
