Implants

Dental implants are titanium screws which are placed into the jaw bone. They form the foundation to support crowns, bridges or dentures.

Implants are well-established, tried-and-tested treatment and with regular care and maintenance can last a lifetime. Treatment time varies with the individual and a personal timetable of treatment is worked out very carefully before treatment starts.

Cleaning around the teeth attached to the implants is no more difficult than cleaning natural teeth but oral hygiene needs to be excellent and we normally recommend that our implant patients see our Dental Hygienist every 3-6 months.
