Dental Implants

What is an implant?

A dental implant is an artificial root, anchored into your jawbone, supporting a fixed tooth replacement. Because they are biocompatible, they actually fuse to the bone; this natural process is called osseointegration.

With advances in dental technology adding to one of the most researched and successful treatment modalities in dentistry to date, dental implants are today considered the standard of care for many oral conditions. From replacing a single tooth, to full mouth rehabilitation with fixed replacement teeth implants, or for reliable denture retention, dental implants have become a routine procedure at Adelaide dental by design.
