Dental Implants at Wellington Quay Dental Centre

Missing or extracted teeth should be replaced to prevent surrounding teeth from moving towards the gap, to maintain your ability to chew and for your appearance. A bridge can be used for this purpose, as can dentures. However, thanks to recent developments with materials and procedures, implants are an increasingly popular alternative.

An implant is a titanium screw placed into the jawbone where the tooth is missing. A porcelain crown is then attached to it. This is a longer and more expensive treatment than having dentures or a bridge but it is very successful and leaves the other teeth untouched.

An implant is a permanent replacement which will match the colour of your natural teeth. You care for it by regular brushing and flossing in the same way as your natural teeth.
