IntroductionDental implants are designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It can be used as a single tooth replacement tooth, or it can be placed in the area of multiple missing teeth. The implant is anchored into the bone and will permanently stay there. Implants are very durable and natural looking; they will not move around like dentures, and do not need any special cleaning like dentures do. Implants are now widely accepted by dental professionals as the one of the best in a wide range of treatments for patients with missing teeth.
Implants are a way to improve dental care and quality of life. They provide stability in place of teeth that have been lost due to injury, tooth decay, or gum disease. For patients in Hampshire and Surrey that are struggling with loose dentures, implants can help regain confidence in your smile and in your bite.
Your dentist will carefully place them into the jawbone with titanium “screws”. The implants will fuse with the jawbone over and become part of your natural bone structure, just like a natural tooth. The implant’s titanium can also be used in dentures and other dental devices, which is another advantage.
Dental implants are artificial roots that are surgically placed in the jaw bone. They are made of titanium, which is biologically inert and strong. The main benefit of having an implant over other restorative dentistry techniques are decreased bone loss, meaning you’ll have a healthy smile for longer. Implant dentistry is the closest we can currently get to having a natural tooth.
As with all treatment, implants come with their own set of risks but are usually worth the investment due to high success rates. The most common risk is infection, and this can be easily avoided by following a proper oral hygiene regime.

There are many conclusions that can be drawn from research alone. The first is that dental implants are a safe method of tooth replacement. They are considered non-invasive and provide the same function as natural teeth. Implanted teeth also last longer than other types of tooth replacements. They do not rely on cement, sealant, or glue to remain in place, meaning an all-round quality dental treatment.
