Dental Implants in West Sussex.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a modern, long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. They act as artificial tooth roots, typically made from biocompatible titanium, which fuses with your jawbone. This provides a stable foundation for replacement teeth, like crowns, bridges, or dentures.

How They Work:

• Replacing the Root:
• A dental implant is essentially a titanium post that’s surgically placed into your jawbone, where a tooth root used to be.
• Osseointegration:
• The key to their success is a process called osseointegration, where the titanium implant fuses directly with the surrounding bone, creating a strong and secure base.
• Supporting Replacement Teeth:
• Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a connector (abutment) is attached. This abutment serves as a platform for attaching a crown (for a single tooth), a bridge (for multiple teeth), or dentures.
• Longevity:
• With proper care, dental implants can last as long as, or even longer than, your natural teeth.

Benefits:

• They look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
• They provide a stable and secure foundation for replacement teeth.
• They can improve your ability to chew and speak.
• They can enhance your smile and boost your confidence.
• They can prevent bone loss.
