Titanium implants integrate directly with the jawbone, offering a permanent tooth replacement option that can last a lifetime with proper care.
Stimulates the jawbone to prevent the bone loss and facial sagging that naturally occur after tooth loss.
Functions and feels identical to natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favourite foods with complete confidence and security.
Does not require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth, unlike traditional dental bridges.
A dental implant is a small titanium post inserted into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once integrated with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a custom-made porcelain crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore full function and appearance.
No. The surgical placement is performed under local anaesthetic, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. Sedation options are also available for nervous patients, and any mild post-procedure discomfort can easily be managed with standard pain relief.
Treatment usually takes between 3 to 6 months from initial placement to the final fitting. This timeframe allows the implant sufficient time to heal and fuse securely with your jawbone before the permanent crown or bridge is fitted.
Most adults with missing teeth and good general health are suitable candidates. Good oral hygiene and adequate jawbone density are important factor; however, bone grafting or sinus lifts can be performed if additional bone volume is required.
