Dental implants consist of titanium screws placed directly into the jawbone. They are designed to replace not only a single tooth but also multiple teeth if required. During a period of healing, the titanium screws fuse to the jawbone, creating a seamless join and a secure foundation for the attachment of artificial, replacement teeth.<\/p>\n This technology has been used for over 30 years. It is ever evolving and today is the most reliable and effective way to treat tooth loss.<\/p>\n Benefits of dental implants<\/strong><\/p>\n We can offer you a huge array of benefits at Polwarth Dental Clinic in Edinburgh<\/strong>.
