Dental implants have revolutionised the world of dentistry in the last ten years. They usually offer the best way of replacing missing teeth because they are stronger than teeth and avoid dental treatment to other neighbouring natural teeth. The titanium screws are placed under normal local aneasthetic via 'key-hole' surgery. Several months later pillars are attached and crowns and bridges are fitted in the usual manner.

Dental implants can be used to replace a missing single tooth, to support bridges when several teeth are missing and to provide the anchors to support whole rows of fixed upper or lower teeth. Though our patients are usually undergoing treatment to return to fixed teeth they can also be used as anchors for loose dentures. |
