Dental Implants
A dental implant (or 'tooth implant', 'teeth implants') is a sophisticated titanium screw, which after being inserted into a jawbone, replaces the natural root of a tooth. Titanium is a completely safe material and the dental implants used by Dentalcare Plus London & South East Implant Centres are amongst the most modern in the world.
Dental implants create a solid foundation for the prosthetic replacement of missing teeth. That might be anything from a single tooth crown to a bridge filling the space created by the loss of a few teeth or even the restoration of a whole arch.
Dental implants are also used to increase the convenience of removable dentures, known as 'overdentures', making them easier to use. Dental implant retained prosthetic appliances provide a very secure solution, which can look and feel like natural teeth.
The accomplishments of modern dental implantology have made the insertion of implants safe and relatively pain free. Dental implants have been used sucessfully for more than 40 years, with sucess rates exceeding 96%.
