Replacing missing teeth

the closest thing to a natural tooth

A dental implant replaces both the root and the crown of a missing tooth. A titanium post is placed in the jawbone, where it fuses over time to create a stable, long-lasting foundation.

Unlike dentures or bridges, implants also help preserve the bone structure that can be lost when a tooth is missing.

Questions

frequently asked

Am I suitable for dental implants? +

Most people with good general and oral health and adequate jawbone density are suitable. We'll confirm this with a full assessment and scan at your consultation.

Does getting an implant hurt? +

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel pain during placement. Some mild discomfort afterwards is normal and manageable with painkillers.

How long does the whole process take? +

From placement to final restoration typically takes a few months, as the implant needs time to fuse securely with your jawbone before the crown is fitted.

How long do dental implants last? +

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last decades — for many patients, a lifetime.

Can implants replace several missing teeth? +

Yes — implants can support an individual crown, a bridge spanning several teeth, or a full implant-retained denture.
