Do you have spaces in your mouth that bother you? Widely regarded as the most important innovation in dentistry of recent times, dental implants are metal cylinders that are placed in the jaws at the sites of extracted teeth. They act like tooth 'roots' and, after 'integration', crowns or bridges are in turn placed on them to fill the spaces with fixed 'teeth'.
A dental implant can be used in a variety of ways, ranging from replacing a single tooth to completely eliminating false teeth, though it can also be used simply to provide greater anchorage for an existing denture. The advantages offered by the technique are wide-ranging, and an important consideration is the fact that, unlike conventional bridgework, implant-borne bridges usually leave adjacent teeth undisturbed.
Dr Jeff Amos is one of the most experienced practitioners in the field, having been placing dental implants since 1986 and having treated over 600 cases successfully.
