Dental Implants: The gold standard in replacing missing teeth

Dental implants offer the most advanced and effective way to permanently replace missing teeth. Here at Malone Dental in Belfast, our experienced implant dentists help patients regain full function and confidence in their smile. Missing teeth can affect your bite, compromise your smile, and lead to gradual bone loss in the jaw. Over time this bone loss can create a “sunken” facial appearance. A dental implant works by placing a small titanium post in the jaw to mimic the natural tooth root. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached to fully restore the look and strength of the tooth. This strong foundation not only allows you to eat and speak normally but also prevents further bone loss, supporting long-term facial aesthetics. If you are considering dental implant treatment in Belfast, book a consultation with our friendly team to discuss your options and create a personalised treatment plan.
