The basics

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.

Benefits

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.

Built to last a lifetime
The titanium post integrates with your bone permanently. With good care, it can last for life.
Preserves your jawbone
Implants stimulate the bone just like a natural root, preventing the shrinkage that happens after tooth loss.
Eat whatever you like
No food restrictions. Implants restore near-full bite strength, so you can eat naturally again.
No damage to other teeth
Unlike bridges, implants are self-supporting. Your neighbouring teeth stay completely untouched.
Looks completely natural
Each crown is custom-made to match the colour, shape and translucency of your existing teeth.
Fixed and secure
No adhesive, no slipping, no removal. Implants are anchored in bone and stay firmly in place.
