What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants have been around for a very long time and continue to be a popular treatment solution for many. We have noticed more of our patients enquiring about dental implants and they are raising similar questions. In this series, we aim to provide information for anyone interested in learning more about dental implants and how they work.

A dental implant is a simple, long-lasting solution for replacing a missing tooth or even multiple teeth. The implant has three parts: a small post that acts like the root of your tooth, a connector, and a bespoke crown that looks and feels like a real tooth. Once it’s in place, it looks and works just like a natural tooth.

Why Are Dental Implants Great?

  1. Built to Last: Dental implants are a long-term solution. Unlike dentures they do not impair speech or limit your diet and with good care, they can last a lifetime.
  2. Natural Look: Implants are designed to look like your real teeth, giving you back a full, natural smile. No one will know the difference!
  3. Comfortable and Easy: Implants stay securely in place, so you can eat, talk, and smile with confidence. No slipping, no discomfort, just like having your natural teeth again.
In short, dental implants help you feel great about your smile, offering a natural look and long-lasting comfort.
