Implant dentistry offers individuals with missing teeth the opportunity to once again have aesthetically appealing and functional teeth. There are many implants available, each designed for a specific function. Most are made of titanium, an inert metal which has been proven to be effective at fusing with living bone, a process known as “osseointegration”.
The mouth is a sensitive area. As a result of poor hygiene, external physical trauma or even genetics, it can give rise to varying degrees of pain and can even be a source of poor self-image. Missing teeth, too much space between teeth (diastema), overcrowding of teeth, temporomandibular joint disorders, jaw injuries, deteriorated gums, mismatch between the upper teeth and the lower teeth are some of the problems that can arise. Reconstructive dental surgery is often required to correct these anomalies.
