Dental Implants
Replace missing teeth with a strong, fixed solution that looks, feels and works like a natural tooth.
Overview
What are dental implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone that acts like a natural tooth root. Once it has bonded with the bone, it supports a custom-made crown, bridge or denture.
Implants help you chew and speak with confidence, protect the jawbone from shrinking and avoid the need to cut down neighbouring teeth for a bridge. Our implantologists plan every case with careful examination and imaging.

FAQs
Common questions
Is implant surgery painful?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during treatment. Mild soreness afterwards is common and is usually managed with simple painkillers.
Am I suitable for implants?
Most healthy adults are. Your implantologist will check your gum health, bone levels and medical history before recommending treatment.
How long do implants last?
With good brushing, flossing and regular check-ups, implants are designed to last for many years.
What if I don't have enough bone?
Bone grafting or other techniques may be possible. We will discuss options during your consultation.
Results vary from person to person. Your clinician will confirm whether this treatment is suitable for you during your consultation.
