    What is a Dental Implant?
    A dental implant is a titanium metal rod which is placed into the jawbone. It is used to support one or more false teeth. In practice, both the false teeth and their supporting rod are known as ‘implants’.
    How does it work?
    Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth.
    In order to support replacement teeth, dental implants normally have some form of internal screw thread or post space that allows a variety of components to be fitted. Once fitted, these components provide the foundation for long-term support of crowns, bridges or dentures.

    Scientists estimate that laughing 100 times is equivalent to a 10-minute workout on a rowing machine.
