Implants are the way forward Old to new Dental implants have many advantages *Dental implants look, feel and function like your natural teeth *Dental implant allows you to eat, laugh and smile naturally *Healthy teeth do not need to be ground down to support dental implants *Anchoring dental implants in the jawbone stimulate bone tissue arresting the ongoing bone loss, which occurs after a tooth is extracted, ensuring an aesthetic result which help to maintain facial structures *Dental implants do not require any adhesives to hold the new teeth in place, and eliminate discomfort and insecurity of loose, ill fitting dentures * Last but not least; you get a secure and permanent tooth replacement Replacing a single tooth/Several teeth/ all of the teeth *A dental implant is the optimal solution for anyone who is missing one or more teeth *There are two solutions when several teeth are missing: separate crowns on dental implants or a bridge attached to two or more implants *When all of your teeth are missing in either upper, lower or both jaws you can choose a full bridge supported by dental implants or and implant retained denture. The implant retained denture is easily removed but will remain securely anchored during function and you will be spared the embarrassment suffered by conventional denture wearers when their dentures dislodge during eating out, speaking and laughing in company.
