A dental implant is a titanium post that functions as an artificial root for your tooth, it is surgically placed into your jawbone with which it fuses (integrates) over time to provide a solid support for a single crown, a bridge or a denture. Dental implants provide a solution to missing teeth, which does not require preparation and damage to neighbouring healthy tooth tissue (unlike traditional pontic bridges). Implants are also the only solution for missing teeth that prevent bone loss and sunken facial muscles and skin that is usually associated with tooth loss.

Although dental implants are a more expensive option than tooth replacement with dentures or brides they tend to last longer and offer a better quality of life as they provide a solution that is the closest you could possibly get to a natural tooth.

Dr Satya Patel is a highly experienced implant surgeon and takes referrals from other dentists around Yorkshire for dental implants and more complex surgical dentistry.
