Treatments — Dental Implants

Dental implants

The gold standard for replacing missing teeth — a titanium implant integrates with your jaw to support a crown, bridge or denture that feels and works like your own tooth.

How implants work

A replacement built from the root up

A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable foundation for a custom crown that matches your surrounding teeth.

Unlike a bridge, an implant doesn't rely on grinding down neighbouring teeth — and by stimulating the bone, it helps prevent the bone loss that follows tooth loss.

Tailored to you

From one tooth to several

Implants are versatile — the right approach depends on how many teeth are missing and the health of your gums and bone.

Single tooth

One implant and crown to fill a gap without affecting the teeth on either side.

Multiple teeth

Several implants supporting an implant bridge to replace a run of missing teeth.

Implant-secured dentures

Implants that anchor a denture so it stays firmly in place and feels secure.

Your treatment journey

The implant process

Consult & scan

An exam and 3D CBCT scan assess your bone and plan the ideal implant position.

Placement

The implant is precisely placed, often with computer-guided surgery for accuracy.

Healing

The implant integrates with bone over a few months while you wear a temporary if needed.

Crown fitted

A custom crown is attached, completing your natural-looking, fully functional tooth.

Common questions

Dental implants, answered

Is implant surgery painful?

Implant placement is performed with local anaesthetic and most patients are comfortable throughout. Any post-operative tenderness is usually mild and managed with simple pain relief. We'll give you clear aftercare guidance.

How long do dental implants last?

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last many years — often decades. The crown on top may need replacing over time, much like any restoration with normal wear.

What if I don't have enough bone?

If bone volume is reduced, bone grafting or a sinus lift may be recommended to build a solid foundation first. This is assessed from your 3D scan and discussed as part of your plan.

Am I too old for implants?

There's no upper age limit — suitability is based on your general health and the condition of your gums and bone, not your age. Many older adults are excellent implant candidates.
