Dental Implants St Ives & Surrounds

Dental implants are medical devices surgically inserted into the jaw to fix an individual’s power to chew or their appearance. This help supports artificial teeth, such as bridges, crowns, or dentures. They can significantly improve the overall value and health of a person who needs them.

If you’re in St Ives, our dental implants are the latest innovation to replace a missing tooth or a number of teeth. An implant consists of an artificial titanium rod that is placed directly into the jaw bone and acts as a replacement for the root portion of the natural tooth. The implant is made using pure titanium which allows new bone cells to grow around it: the implant then integrates with the newly formed bone which firmly locks it into place. This process is called ‘Osseointegration’.
