A dental implant is actually a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. They are secured in the jaw bone and are not visible once surgically placed. They are made of titanium, which is lightweight, strong and biocompatible material, meaning that it is not rejected by the body. Dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device. Cortex’s unique and innovative developments have upgraded dental implants industry, manufactured from the highest quality materials and engineered to last for lifetime.

Natural Appearance
Biting forces with implants almost similar to natural teeth, whilst with dentures the biting forces are approximately 90% less.
Cost-effectively, implants replace teeth and last, functioning in the mouth, for 10 – 30 years.
Esthetically restored implants imitate natural teeth appearance.

No Decay Teeth are susceptible to dental decay. Dental implants are metal and do not decay.
