Dental implants are an excellent way to replace missing teeth and are the closest option we have to natural teeth in both function and appearance.
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone where the missing tooth once was. Over time, the bone naturally grows around the implant in a process called osseointegration, which securely anchors the implant in place.
Once the implant is firmly integrated, an artificial tooth—called a crown—is attached to the implant. This crown is custom-made to match the size, shape, and colour of your surrounding teeth, giving you a natural-looking smile.
Dental implants aren’t just for single teeth; they can also be used to support dental bridges or even dentures, providing improved stability and comfort compared to traditional options.
Here at The Liverpool Dentist, Dr. Jennifer Do and Dr. Tanya Huynh both place and restore dental implants. Through a thorough consultation, they will assess your suitability for implants, explain the entire process in detail, and answer any questions you may have to ensure you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
