Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement. They look like a tooth, feel like a tooth, are easy to clean and long lasting. Dr Patrick has completed his post graduate diploma in Implant placement and we also work closely with specialists in implant placement to provide you with the very best outcome. 

What is a dental implant?

An implant is an artificial tooth root usually made of titanium or ceramic. The bio-compatibility of the implant allows it to integrate with the bone, just like an artificial hip. There is a period of integration after the implant is placed which is important for the implant to stabilise. After the stability of the implant is checked we can then place the chewing section of the implant – a single tooth, a bridge or a clip-in denture. 

Can I get an implant? 

Not everybody is a good candidate for a dental implant. We provide a free consult and work closely with specialist dental surgeons to determine your suitability. If certain medical or social factors mean that an implant may not be the right option for your missing tooth, we also offer other alternatives for tooth replacement including dental bridges and dentures.
