Dental Implants

Dental implants are used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. They are small metal inserts (usually made of titanium, a titanium alloy or a ceramic like zirconia) that are placed into the jawbone to act like artificial tooth roots.

Over time, they fuse to the jawbone and a restoration (false, yet natural-looking tooth) is fitted on top. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or many teeth.



Most adults with good dental and general health will be suitable for dental implants. However, every case is different, so at Beggarwood Dental Surgery, the dentist will make an assessment and discuss the suitability of dental implants with you.
