About dental implants
A dental implant is a small titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root. It fuses with the jawbone and supports a natural-looking crown, replacing a missing tooth without relying on the teeth around it.
Implants are the longest-lasting way to replace a missing tooth. Cared for well they can last decades, and they help preserve the jawbone that a gap would otherwise let shrink.
The implant process
- A thorough assessment of your jawbone and gums
- A plan tailored to the tooth being replaced
- Placement of the implant post
- A healing period as it fuses with the bone
- A custom crown fitted to complete the tooth
Are implants right for you?
Implants suit most people with good general and gum health and enough bone to support the post. Where bone has been lost, grafting can sometimes make implants possible.
They’re an investment, but for a single missing tooth they often outlast the alternatives and don’t compromise neighbouring teeth the way a bridge can.
Planning your options? Book an assessment and we’ll examine the site, explain whether an implant, bridge, or denture suits you best, and provide a written estimate.
Common questions
With good care and regular checkups, implants can last many years — often decades. The crown on top may need replacing sooner than the post itself.
Placement is done with the area numbed, and most people find recovery more comfortable than expected. Any soreness is managed with ordinary pain relief.
It varies, because the implant needs time to fuse with the bone before the final crown goes on. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at your assessment.
Complex implant surgery is sometimes shared with a specialist. If that’s best for you, we’ll arrange it and coordinate your care.
