The discomfort and lack of functionality is usually caused by damaged or missing teeth, but why should you have to deal with leading a less than perfect life with these teeth, when you can have them replaced by dental implants.

The dental implant comprises of 2 main parts. There is the fixture and the restoration part of the procedure. The fixture part is where a small titanium screw is embedded into your jaw where the tooth’s root used to be, that has either fallen out due to poor hygiene and decay or due to a previous accident. Over time the jaw bone will start to fuse to the titanium screw, securing an even stronger and tighter base for the restoration to be placed up on.

After this has all taken place and the dentist feels that you have now got a strong and secure fitting for the restoration to be placed upon, an impression will be made of your surrounding teeth so that your new synthetic teeth will fit perfectly into your teeth, and not look out of place.

Your dentist will place porcelain crowns onto the top of the implants and they will be secured onto the titanium screws and will not only work in aesthetic fashion, but will also work in a completely functional sense. You do not have to worry about them not looking the part because the crowns are made to look and feel like normal teeth, and they completely cover the titanium screws so they cannot be seen.
