Understanding dental implants

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a fixed, long-lasting way to replace missing teeth. They can restore your bite, confidence and comfort β€” often without affecting neighbouring teeth.

Dental Implants Explained

Implants are titanium posts placed in the jawbone to act like a natural tooth root. Once healed, they support a crown, bridge or full arch.

Implants can be used to replace one tooth, several teeth, or stabilise a denture. For suitable cases, full-arch concepts such as All-on-4 may provide fixed teeth with fewer implants.

Do implants last?

With good hygiene and regular reviews, implants can last many years β€” often 20+ years.

Are they painful?

Treatment is performed under local anaesthetic. Mild tenderness afterwards is normal and usually manageable.

Am I suitable?

Most adults can be suitable. Bone grafting and other techniques can help when bone volume is reduced.
