Nowadays the ideal way of replacing missing teeth is by means of an implant. Implants are made of titanium and are carefully inserted into the jaw to replace the missing tooth, or teeth. Once the implant has healed we use it in much the same way as the original root and we then fix a natural looking crown to it.

Three main purposes for implants

• To replace single missing teeth
• To replace several missing teeth
• To give stability to a denture

Advantages

• Fixed in place and feel like a natural tooth
• Excellent aesthetics
• No drilling of natural teeth
