Dental implants are a way of replacing single, or a whole set of completely missing teeth, and are a real alternative to dentures for people who have a lot of missing teeth. A dental implant is a small man-made titanium fixture that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth in your mouth. The implant is placed in the bone of your upper or lower jaw. Your bone then heals tightly around this implant and the implant then serves as an anchor for your replacement tooth. Research and scientific studies have proved the effectiveness and long lasting results of dental implants. With careful looking after, the implants should last a lifetime. The cost of tooth replacement with dental implants will depend on the number of teeth being replaced and the number of implants required. Dental implants may cost between £1,000 to £2,000 per tooth.

Dental implants are a new way of replacing single, or a whole set of completely missing teeth, and are a real alternative to dentures for people who have a lot of missing teeth.

If you lose a tooth, your jawbone automatically shrinks, making your face look older. Dental implants can slow or stop this process.

Dental implants remove the pain and discomfort of removable full or partial dentures. Since dentures sit on top of your jawbone and gums, this continuous shrinkage of your jawbone alters the fit of your denture, resulting in slipping or rocking of the dentures. Dental implants can get rid of the numerous embarrassing inconveniences of badly fitting false teeth, as well as the cleaning and maintenance of removable partial and full dentures.
