Implantology is the latest solution for missing teeth. Tooth implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth. More and more dentists are recommending them for their patients.

How implantology works
Artificial teeth can be fixed into your gum, almost in the same way as your natural teeth by constructing and implanting an artificial tooth root in your gum that fuses to your jawbone. The root is in the form of a tiny metal post, made of surgical grade titanium.


An artificial tooth is then attached to this metal post. The treatment can be carried out for one tooth or a number of them and care is taken to ensure that the new artificial tooth is the same colour and shape as your existing teeth. The whole procedure is carried out under adequate sedation, minimising any pain and discomfort.

Why we recommend them
Because they are anchored into your jaw, implanted teeth are completely secure and stable. Unlike bridges they are not anchored to adjacent teeth and so do not carry a risk of affecting the structure of your existing teeth. Also they require no special maintenance apart from your usual dental routine of brushing and flossing.


Implants are suitable for most adults, regardless of how the teeth have been lost. We will fully discuss the pros and cons with you. There are only a few cases in which we would not recommend them. Before we do, our implantology specialists will do a full examination and an X-ray to ensure implants are the right solution for you.
