At 44 Dental, we know how important it is to feel confident with your teeth, not just in appearance but also with the ability to eat and speak normally. We see many patients who are struggling with ill-fitting dentures and that has an impact on their daily life. We also see patients who have recently lost teeth and are now self-conscious about the gap that is left behind. If this is how you feel, it may be time to consider dental implants with Dr Khamis here at 44 Dental.<\/p>\n

Understanding dental implants <\/strong><\/p>\n

A dental implant is a titanium post that acts as a replacement for your natural tooth root and is surgically positioned in your jawbone, under the gum. Once in place, the implant can be fitted with crowns, bridges, or dentures and will function just like natural teeth.<\/p>\n

At 44 Dental, all implant treatment is performed by Dr JJ Khamis, our specialist prosthodontist. Dr Khamis has spent an extra 3 years studying the speciality of restoring missing teeth and jaw structures with natural looking replacements. His further training was carried out at the Bristol Dental Hospital, gaining much experience in oral surgery and restorative dentistry. Dr Khamis has also completed a Masters of Clinical Dentistry in fixed and removable prosthodontics at the Eastman Dental Institute in London. This advanced training makes Dr Khamis a specialist in dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers and dentures. Rest assured you will be in safe and secure hands, and you can feel safe in the knowledge that your implant treatment will be carried out to a highest possible standard.<\/p>\n
