It’s easy to lose confidence in your smile if you’re worried about exposing gaps from missing teeth. The good news is dental implants provide a permanent, natural-looking replacement for teeth you have lost.
A dental implant is a screw or cylinder (between 8mm-16mm long) most commonly made from surgical grade titanium, which is most compatible with your biology. It is inserted into your jaw to hold a new replacement tooth in place, functioning much like the roots of your normal teeth.
A special attachment, called the abutment, is fitted to the top of the implant. This is what holds your new replacement tooth (crown) or teeth (bridge or denture) firmly in place.
Where dental implants are used to affix dentures, there is no need for special glues to hold them in place. The implant provides a firm grip that will never slip, rub, or affect your ability to speak or eat properly.
