Dental implants are essentially a small rod of high purity titanium alloy inserted into the bone of the jaw and left to heal. Bone loves titanium and attaches itself intimately to the surface of the implant. The dental implant replaces the root of the missing tooth.
Implants are an excellent way of replacing missing teeth or fixing dentures in place. They may be used for a single tooth or for a full mouth reconstruction utilising the support of several implants. Using implants allows us to avoid involving other teeth when replacing the missing ones.
Our dental implant centre in Exeter is based on more than sixteen years experience of placing implants and we see many patients on referral from our colleagues in other practices.
Dental implants are not "new". They have been evolving for the last thirty years and have greatly increased in popularity over the last ten years, particularly in the last five years.
"The dentistry I received was second to none. in just the first visit I had a better understanding of the treatments that were available and the dentistry I needed."
