Implants

Do you have missing teeth?

Do you have difficulty eating your favourite foods?

Would you like to regain that confident smile?

...then implants could help you.

Implants can increase your chewing ability and they can improve your appearance and speech.

Implants are not new; in fact they have been around for decades. They are popular with patients and dentists because they look, feel and function like natural teeth.

Unlike traditional treatments of crowns, bridges, root canals and dentures; implants offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth.

A dental implant replaces the root of the missing tooth. Initially, the dentist places the implant into the jawbone leaving a post projecting through the gum. After a period of 3-6 months, depending upon certain factors, the dentist then places a permanent porcelain crown, removable denture, or bridge. And don't worry - in those 3-6 months we won't leave you with just a post sticking out - we will fit a temporary crown so that your smile will be restored!

The two implant systems favoured at Haynesdental are Bicon and Ankylos, this provides us with the versatility to treat all clinical situations predictably.
