can affect your self esteem and well being.
We can transform your smile in just one day with same day dental implants.
Loose, broken or missing teeth can have a massive impact not only on your smile, but your confidence and self-esteem. Dental implants are the gold standard solution to help replace missing teeth. They are metal cylinders placed into the jaw bone to help support a tooth crown.
Dental implants are a popular option for individuals seeking a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. So, what exactly is a dental implant? Essentially, a dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is surgically inserted into the jawbone. It acts as a stable base for replacement teeth such as crowns or bridges.
The dental implant itself is typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material that fuses with the bone over time, ensuring a secure and durable fit. Dental implants offer several benefits compared to other tooth replacement options, including improved oral function and aesthetics.
While they may require a bit more investment upfront, dental implants are often the best solution for those seeking a permanent and natural-looking tooth replacement.

There will be minor adjustments to the teeth, but this is minimal, especially if the teeth have been straightened previously How will I know if I like the look of veneers? The dentist providing the veneers will look at the current shape of the teeth, their colour, your facial and gum contours as well as things like lip position and tooth symmetry to make a decision on the character and profile of the veneers. However, the dental lab can perform a waxed version attached to a study model of your teeth so you can see and even trial the smile before any treatment begins.
