[LONDON, 22/10/2017] - Patients who have lost one or more teeth due to an accident, disease or simply old age, should replace them as soon as possible. Unlike conventional dentures and bridges that simply sit on the gums, dental implants fuse to the jawbone and create a sturdy and permanent foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function just like your real teeth.
