Why implants?

Increase your options
Dental implants look, feel and work just like your own teeth – a state-of-the-art alternative to dentures and bridges. They allow you to smile, speak and eat with confidence – no more worries about a denture slipping or a gap showing. They are made from inert materials that are strong enough to support teeth.

Your teeth are meant to work together as a complete unit. They affect your facial appearance and the correct functioning of your mouth. Speech and eating patterns are heavily influenced by their state of health.

Gaps in your mouth caused by missing teeth can cause significant problems. The teeth either side of an empty space will tilt and drift, making them difficult to clean. The teeth above the space are also free to move, making your bite uneven.

After you lose a tooth, the section of bone that would have supported it begins to dissolve. This affects your gums and the general stability of the rest of your teeth. A denture or bridge returns your mouth to working order but the subsequent bone shrinkage can lead to discomfort.

Are dental implants the right solution? Please talk to us to discuss your options to help you make an INFORMED decision. Dental implants are a big commitment but can make a massive difference to how your teeth and mouth look and feel.
