Dental Implants
If you need replacement teeth but find the idea of dentures unappealing then why not consider dental implants.
These permanent restorations mimic natural teeth as they have a titanium root that bonds with your jawbone and this is topped off with a ceramic crown.
Our team are highly trained to surgically place and restore dental implants and work closely with two other specialists for more complicated cases. The procedure involves surgical placement of the small titanium posts into the jaw. The bone tissue integrates with these biocompatible posts to create a solid anchor. This method can be used to reconstruct a single tooth, a bridge or hold a denture in place.
Dental implants have a host of benefits including giving you the freedom to eat all kinds of foods, boosting confidence and, with proper care, potentially lasting a lifetime.
We refer all our dental implant cases to our sister practice Hertfordshire Centre for Dentistry, a 5 min walk from Harpenden Smiles Dental Studio.
