What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that's placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it integrates with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached on top, giving you a replacement that looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth.
Implants are the closest thing to growing a new tooth. Unlike bridges, they don't rely on neighbouring teeth for support, and unlike dentures, they're fixed in place, so there's no movement, no adhesive and no daily removal.
Each implant is made up of three parts: the titanium implant itself, an abutment that connects to it, and a porcelain crown that sits on top and blends with your natural teeth.
Who are implants for?
Whether you're missing one tooth or need a full set replaced, there's an implant solution designed for you.
Why choose implants?
Implants offer advantages that no other tooth replacement can match. They're the only option that replaces the root as well as the crown, which is what makes them so stable and so good for your long-term oral health.
How implant treatment works
From your first consultation to the final crown fitting, here's what to expect at each stage.
We take a full set of scans, X-rays and photographs to assess your bone levels, gum health and bite. We'll talk through your options, answer your questions, and explain whether implants are the right solution for you.
Using 3D imaging, we plan the exact position, angle and depth of each implant. If bone grafting is needed, we build that into the plan. You'll receive a detailed quote and timeline before you commit to anything.
The titanium implant is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. You'll leave with a temporary restoration if needed, so you're never without a tooth.
Over the next few months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone in a process called osseointegration. We'll check in with you during this time to make sure everything is progressing as expected.
Once the implant has fully integrated, we attach the abutment and fit your permanent porcelain crown. It's colour-matched and shaped to blend perfectly with your natural teeth. You'll leave with a complete, confident smile.
