Dental Implant

A dental implant is a prosthesis that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, or facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are used to replace lost teeth and they have become increasingly popular as an alternative to removable dentures. But they need to be looked after: good oral hygiene and regular professional check-ups are essential to prevent the appearance of peri-implant diseases.

But implants, like natural teeth, need to be looked after. Peri-implant diseases – which involve inflammation of the gums and damage to the bones and tissues around implants – can cause serious problems and lead to the loss of implants.
