Replace a damaged or missing tooth with a dental implant - contact us today to discuss your options, costs and pay monthly finance.

Providing multiple oral health and aesthetic benefits to the patient, a false tooth replaces worn, missing and broken teeth with a perfect substitute. Just a single fake tooth can make a huge impact on your day-to-day life and confidence.

Dental implant

A dental implant is a permanent replacement for your tooth. Offering up to 20 years of wear, the procedure includes a titanium implant being surgically inserted into your jawbone. An abutment and porcelain crown then follows, leaving you with a perfectly restored smile. We have selected grade 5 titanium as the material for our implants. The gold standard in dentistry, it delivers unparalleled durability and longevity, while also feeling just like your natural teeth. So, if you are looking for a long-term dental restoration, a fake tooth implant is a great choice.

Denture

This special type of orthodontic device, which is commonly referred to as false teeth, fits over your gums or clips onto the remaining teeth you have to replace a single tooth or multiple. If you are looking to replace just one tooth, this is known as a partial denture. Partial dentures may be placed in any area of the mouth. Lasting between 7 and 20 years depending on the type of denture you get, patients are able to choose between a removable or fixed device. If you opt for a fixed denture, the device will be secured in place using a dental implant.

Dental crown

For many, a false tooth can also mean a crown. This versatile treatment addresses multiple dental issues, including severe tooth decay, cracked teeth, large cavities, discolouration and painful misshapenness. It may also be used to strengthen a weak tooth. So, how do crowns work? A crown replaces damage on the visible portion of a tooth, leaving the root intact. Patients can get a single crown or a full mouth (infamously known as Turkey Teeth) for a perfectly healthy and restored smile that lasts up to 15 years with proper care.
