Dental Implants
Tooth loss can impact not only your appearance but also your ability to eat certain foods, as well as the health of your mouth, self-esteem, and general well-being.
The effects of tooth loss vary from person to person and depend on which teeth are lost. Over time, the bone around a missing tooth may gradually recede, and the surrounding teeth may shift. Chewing may also become more challenging as time goes on.
At Hallett Cove Smiles, dental implants offer a solution by replacing both the root and the crown of a missing tooth, giving you a new, complete tooth that is securely fixed to your jawbone and matches your existing teeth.
Implants provide a permanent solution for one or multiple missing teeth, allowing you to smile confidently and enjoy all the foods you love once again.

What is a dental implant?
A dental implant can be thought of as an artificial tooth root that is submerged into the jawbone. When dental work such as a crown, fixed bridge or a full set of dentures is added, one or more missing teeth can be replaced.
A dental implant is fabricated from a very strong, biocompatible material placed in a simple procedure that, generally, is as convenient as a tooth extraction. After an initial healing period, during which the implant is buried in bone and left undisturbed under gum tissue, it is uncovered and connected to a small metal post that secures and supports the artificial tooth.
The implant material is extremely biocompatible. The bone grows to the implant and bonds to it. This makes the implant very strong. The process is called ‘osseointegration’.
