Implant
Titanium implant placement to replace a missing tooth root.
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth with a titanium fixture that integrates with the jawbone. Once healed, it supports a crown, bridge, or denture for a stable, natural-feeling restoration.
Implants help preserve bone volume at the site of tooth loss and do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support. With proper planning and care, they offer a long-term solution that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
What to expect
Treatment begins with assessment of bone quality and overall oral health. The implant is placed surgically under local anaesthesia, followed by a healing period during which the bone fuses to the implant. The final crown or prosthesis is attached once integration is complete.
Who is it for
Implants suit adults with adequate bone and healthy gums who want a fixed replacement for one or more missing teeth. Certain medical conditions or insufficient bone may require additional preparation, such as grafting, before implant placement.
After your treatment
Keep the surgical site clean and avoid disturbing it during the initial healing phase. Regular hygiene appointments and good home care are essential for the long-term success of your implant.
