Implants have become an important part of modern dentistry and millions of people around the world have had implants successfully placed. They are used to replace missing teeth, from a single tooth through to all teeth.

The key benefits of implants are:

• Improve appearance – When you lose a tooth the shrinkage of the jawbone may cause your face to look older. Dental implants can stop this process.

• Eat what you want – Implant supported replacement teeth are like natural teeth because they are anchored securely to your jawbone. This allows you to eat your favourite foods with comfort and confidence. You can enjoy what everyone else is eating and not think twice about it.

• Maintain healthy adjacent teeth – With traditional practices teeth adjacent to a missing tooth are ground down to place a bridge. Implants often eliminate the need to modify healthy teeth resulting in the most conservative and aesthetic restoration.

• Replace teeth for life – In most cases you can expect implants will provide lifelong replacement for lost teeth.

• Improve self esteem – Once you experience the benefits of implants you may also experience renewed confidence. With your improved self esteem you will enjoy life once again.
