What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a modern solution for replacing missing teeth.
An implant consists of:

  • A small titanium post placed in the jawbone
  • A connector (abutment)
  • A custom-made crown, bridge or denture on top

The implant is designed to act like a natural tooth root, helping to provide strength, stability and a natural appearance.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are widely considered a highly effective option for replacing missing teeth.
They offer:

  • A fixed, secure replacement designed to feel stable
  • A natural look and feel
  • Improved chewing and speech
  • Protection of surrounding teeth
  • Long-term durability

Implants are designed to function in a similar way to natural teeth.

My Dentist is Tony Aneiros, he has been my Dentist for many years. I have confidence in his skills as Dentist and he has always been very professional when caring for my teeth. He has a friendly manner and is mindful to keep the patient at ease and pain free. We recently moved and now live a long way from the surgery, but I have no intention of changing Dentist.

We’ve had such a great experience with Tony, the orthodontist treating my son. His teeth are coming along beautifully and we’re so pleased with the progress. Tracey on reception and the nurse are both absolutely lovely — always welcoming, kind, and they truly go above and beyond. The whole team makes every visit a positive experience.
