Tooth loss is more common than you might think. Whether caused by injury, decay, or gum disease, missing teeth can affect more than just your smile, they impact how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. At Battersea Smiles, we understand the importance of restoring both confidence and function. That’s why we offer dental implants, a long-term solution that looks, feels, and functions just like natural teeth.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root. It’s surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses over time to create a strong foundation. A custom-made crown is then attached, restoring both function and aesthetics.
