Dental Implants
A dental implant is used to replace the root portion of a missing tooth and is becoming one of the more popular restorative methods. If a tooth is lost through injury or decay, it is wise to replace it to restore optimum function and improve aesthetics. Dental implants are widely regarded as the best long-term solution to missing teeth, as they do not interfere with the teeth, gums or facial structure. They also allow for optimum function and help prevent bone loss.

What is it?
The implant is a titanium rod which looks similar to a screw. It is inserted into a pre-drilled socket in the jawbone and once it has settled into the bone (a process known as osseointegration), a new restoration such as a crown can be attached. Implants can also be used to support dental bridges and dentures.
Effective treatment
Dental implants will look and feel like your natural teeth, and they do not require the alteration of any nearby teeth. Once treatment is complete you will be able to have confidence in the way you speak, eat and generally communicate with the world around you. They are secure and reliable, able to replace one or more teeth depending on your circumstances.
There are different implant types and systems available and the Time Dental team will be happy to discuss the options available with you. Once the implant surgeon has placed the implant, Dr Rashid will attach the restoration and you will be able to show off your new smile.
