Teeth can be lost for many reasons including gum disease, tooth decay and general accidents. However, here at Peppermint we believe there is no reason why you should live without your teeth or with a compromised smile. Implants can provide a safe way of replacing any number of teeth without having to damage adjacent healthy teeth. Implants are not new, they have been used for more than 40 years and today’s scientifically engineered implants have success rates of over 96%.
So what is a Dental Implant?
It is a small Titanium screw, which is inserted into the jawbone during a short operation under local anaesthetic. It subsequently knits painlessly with the bone forming a secure foundation for new, natural looking teeth.
