What
are implants?
Implants are one way of replacing missing teeth.
A post is planted in the jaw bone to support
a replacement tooth. This acts like the root
of a natural tooth. Implants can also be used
to support fixed bridges or dentures.
Implant treatment normally has two stages. First, the implant is placed in the jaw. Then, when the jaw has healed, replacement teeth are attached to the implant. In some situations it is possible for temporary teeth to be attached to an implant at the time of fitting. |
