Implantology

What is a tooth implant?
A tooth implant is a small titanium device, which can be used to replace a missing natural root.
Implants may be fitted to the lower or upper jaw and, over time, become anchored in the bone, providing a secure foundation for a denture.

Are tooth implants successful?
With over three decades of clinical experience and five million patients treated, crowns and bridges fitted to Nobel Biocare implants have a very high rate of success.  Statistics show a success rate of 95 percent for individual implants, and an even higher success rate for bridges fitted to implants.  Implants fitted 40 years ago are still working today.

How much do implants cost?
The cost of dental implants will depend upon various factors, including the number of teeth to be replaced and the number of implants required for the treatment concerned.  Before implants are fitted, some additional and preliminary treatment may be required in order to ensure the long-term stability of the implants concerned.  Normally, surgical intervention and the fitting of implant supports and the overlying dentures will be billed on a separate basis.  For an accurate cost estimate, examination by a dentist will be required.  Following a thorough diagnostic examination, your dentist will recommend the best treatment.
