Dental Implants

Dental Implants... A dental implant is a substitute for a natural tooth root. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth. Often the implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth is removed.
The main aim during installation of any implant is to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding bone. This creates an initial stability, which over time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone into the microscopic roughness on the implant surface. In order to support replacement teeth, dental implants normally have some form of internal screw thread or post space that allows a variety of components to be fitted.
Once fitted, these components provide the foundation for long-term support of crowns, bridges or dentures.

Association of Dental Implantology (ADI) The ADI aims to provide the public with an improved understanding of the benefits of implantology and its Members with the benefits of ongoing education.
