Implants

Implants are artificial tooth roots. They require several visits to complete. They are usually made from titanium and covered with a material that allows them to be attached to the jaw bone. There are two types of implants:

• Endosseous, which are placed within the jaw.
• Sub-periosteal, which are attached under the gum, but over the jaw.

Bridges and dentures are usually made to cover the implants.

Implants are not for everyone. You must be in good health and have a good jaw bone to be able to support the implant.
