Dental Implants

Dental implants are becoming a more common way of replacing a missing tooth or teeth, supporting a denture rigidly, or for full mouth rehabilitation.

They are basically titanium fixtures (same metal as that used for hip replacements) which are placed in the jaw bone

(sounds horrific- but routinely done these days with a local anaesthetic and no more unpleasant than a filling. I have had two placed myself)

Intra venous sedation can be offered where medically acceptable.
