What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial roots made from metal that are implanted into a person’s jaw in order to support a replacement tooth, or replacement teeth. The material used is typically titanium, although it is still possible to use stainless steel or even gold alloys.
Who is an appropriate candidate for dental implants?
Anyone with a missing tooth, or multiple missing teeth, can be aided by the insertion of dental implants and replacement teeth or bridges. Implants were conceived as an alternative to dentures, as the placement of the implant in the jaw allows it to become more firmly rooted, and theoretically gives people the freedom to eat many of the foods they enjoyed with a full set of teeth.

Are dental implants expensive – and are they worth it?
On average, the process of getting dental implants will set you back £2,415, which is a lot of money for anyone to pay out for a cosmetic treatment. The treatment is painful and has a lengthy recovery period. Still, over the course of a lifetime no price is too high to pay for a definitive improvement.
