Dental Implants London - Permanent Tooth Replacement Solutions
Restore your smile with dental implants from experienced implant dentists across London. 95%+ success rate, natural-looking results, and lasting up to 25+ years.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots, providing a permanent foundation for replacement teeth.
Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable and permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
The implant consists of three parts: the titanium post (artificial root), the abutment (connector), and the crown (visible tooth). This design ensures maximum stability and a natural appearance.
