Dental implants

Titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone, creating a sturdy foundation for new teeth.

Providing the stability to look, feel, and function exactly like natural teeth, implants are the most effective long-term solution for tooth loss, as they are permanently rooted in the jawbone and prevent bone loss.

Single Tooth Implant

A single, artificial tooth attached to one implant post, designed to look and function exactly like a natural tooth.

Implant-Supported Bridge

A unit of multiple artificial teeth that is securely fixed on top of two or more implants, replacing several missing teeth in a row.

Implant-Supported Dentures

A full set of replacement teeth that are removable but snap onto a small number of implants for vastly improved stability and chewing ability compared to traditional dentures.

What to expect

Here's a brief outline of the steps and visits required for a dental implant procedure:

Initial Consultation: 1 visit

Examination, X-rays, and treatment planning

Implant Placement: 1-2 visits

Surgical placement of the implant

Healing and Osseointegration: 3-6 months

Time for the implant to integrate with the bone

Abutment Connection: 1 visit

Attachment of the abutment to the implant

Crown Placement: 1-2 visits

Impressions and fabrication of the crown

Final placement of the crown

Follow-up Visits: 1-2 visits

Check-ups to ensure proper healing and function

Success of dental implants relies on a strong foundation. Depending on your current bone health or the complexity of your case, additional procedures like a bone graft or a sinus lift may be necessary before or during your implant placement. These procedures are essential to ensure long-term stability and will result in an additional investment beyond the cost of the implant itself. Your specific treatment plan will be fully reviewed with you during your consultation.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between dentures, bridges, and implants?

Dentures are removable appliances that replace several or all missing teeth. Bridges are fixed restorations that fill a gap by attaching to adjacent teeth. Implants are titanium posts placed into the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture—they’re the most permanent and secure option.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care and regular check-ups, dental implants can last 15 years or more—and in many cases, a lifetime. The crown or bridge attached to the implant may need replacing eventually, but the implant itself is designed for long-term use.

Is dental implant surgery painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, and any post-surgery soreness is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. We’ll provide full aftercare instructions to support your healing.

What is a dental bone graft?

A bone graft is a surgical procedure to add volume and density to the jawbone where bone has been lost due to missing teeth or gum disease. This new bone material acts as a scaffolding, stimulating your body to grow its own natural bone, which is necessary to create a strong, stable anchor for a dental implant.

What is a sinus lift?

A sinus lift (or sinus augmentation) is a specific type of bone graft performed only in the upper jaw, near the back teeth. When the bone height beneath the sinus cavity is too shallow for an implant, this procedure gently lifts the sinus membrane and places bone graft material underneath to build the necessary vertical height for a successful implant placement.
