A dental implant is an artificial tooth made of titanium. It is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of the natural tooth. Thereafter, a prosthesis/crown is attached to the implant replacing the missing tooth. Implants can also be used to support dentures, providing a better fit and stability to an otherwise removable prosthesis.

At Hamilton Dentists, we are diligent about planning dental implants so as to provide a more predictable outcome. This can often be done prior to the removal of a tooth. Dr Hetal Shah, the principal dentist, has completed implant training under a reputed prosthodontist and takes keen interest in educating her patients about these options. The pre-treatment stages include quality 3D scans and digital impressions and planning software to allow a guided surgery, so as to reduce surgical risks. This also allows patients to make an informed choice prior to commencing any procedures.
