The traditional method of replacing missing teeth has been either with a fixed bridge, which consists of crowned teeth supporting a false tooth or with a removable denture. Dental implants are rapidly becoming the preferred treatment for anyone seeking the optimal method of replacing missing teeth. There have been amazing developments in this field in recent years.
The benefits of implants are that they:
- Avoid the embarrassment of loose dentures
- Look, feel and function like natural teeth
- Strong and long lasting
- Restore your chewing ability with confidence
A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root that is carefully placed into the jawbone on to which is firmly fixed either a false tooth or a denture.
We are pleased that we have invested in both the necessary equipment and training to undertake these procedures for you at Wellington House.
