Implants
What are Implants?
Dental implants are a highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a permanent foundation for replacement teeth.
Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, it acts just like a natural tooth, offering a strong, durable, and aesthetic replacement. Dental implants are often preferred because they do not affect adjacent teeth, preserve bone health, and provide a long-lasting solution to missing teeth.
What are the Benefits of Implants?
Permanent solution
Dental implants are designed as a natural-looking permanent solution to missing teeth, making them a cost-effective option over time.
No impact on adjacent teeth
Unlike bridges, which require altering healthy adjacent teeth, implants preserve the integrity of your natural teeth, leaving them unaffected.
Preserve bone health
Implants help prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone, ensuring your facial structure remains intact.
Improved functionality
Dental implants function just like natural teeth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Comfort and stability
Implants are securely anchored in the jaw, preventing discomfort, slippage, or the need for adhesives.

Treatment Process: Implants
Consultation and assessment
Your journey begins with a consultation where we evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals. We will take X-rays and scans to assess your jawbone and determine implant suitability.
Surgical placement of the implant
Under local anaesthesia administered by our experienced implantologists, a titanium implant is carefully placed into your jawbone.
Healing period
Over several months, the implant will integrate with the jawbone. This creates a stable anchor for your replacement tooth. During this time, we monitor your progress through follow-up appointments.
Abutment placement
Once the integration is complete, an abutment is placed on the implant, providing a foundation for the custom crown or tooth restoration.
Crown placement
Your custom-made crown is carefully placed on the abutment, matching the size, shape, and colour of your natural teeth. This final step restores both function and appearance to your smile.
Post-treatment care and follow up
We provide comprehensive after instructions, alongside regular follow up appointments to make sure the implant is healing as it should and to ensure you are happy with the outcome.
