Previously, the alternative replacement for a single missing tooth was to have a bridge or a denture in it’s place, but these options can be uncomfortable and difficult to maintain.

A single dental implant provides the strength, look and feel comparable to a natural tooth. And unlike a denture or a bridge, if properly maintained the implant can last a lifetime.

When adjacent teeth are failing or missing, it is common for this to be the molar teeth at the back of your mouth. This may not bother you as much as they are not obvious, but these multi-rooted teeth perform the main work in chewing your food. If molar teeth are not present then the heavy work is performed by the single-rooted teeth closer to the front of the mouth, and they are simply not designed to cope with this task. It is essential to get these missing teeth replaced before it causes more damage within your mouth, and the best way to do this is using a more economical solution rather than having an implant for each missing tooth; a fixed bridge joins multiple teeth together using fewer implants.

Replacing your lost back teeth will give you new strength and stability that allows you to eat what you want, as well as preserving your jawbone and facial appearance.

The outstanding All-On-4 system (sometimes known as Teeth In A Day, or Same Day Implants) allows us to replace an entire row of teeth on either the upper or lower jaw, using only four implants with minimal surgery. This is an alternative to the conventional removable denture which can become loose and uncomfortable over time and inconvenient to use.
