Are titanium posts that are surgically placed beneath the gums and act as artificial roots of teeth. They act to replace missing teeth and prevent the collapse of the bone and gums when teeth are removed. By fusing to the underlying bone, implants offer stable support for artificial teeth. Implants can also be used to support dentures or bridges and dramatically increase the retention of these during eating and speaking.

Advantages:

• Fuse to bone
• Replace teeth without reducing adjacent teeth
• Provides support for gums, bone and the tooth it replaces
