What are Dental Implants
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. They provide a stable foundation for artificial teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures - and are a permanent solution that mimics your natural teeth.
Getting an Implant: What to Expect
The dental implant procedure involves a number of steps:
Consultation and planning: We assess your oral health and create a personalised treatment plan.
Implant placement: A titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone.
Osseointegration: A healing period of several months allows the implant to fuse with your jawbone.
Abutment placement: A connector is attached to the implant.
Restoration: An artificial tooth (implant crown) is placed on the implant.

FAQ: Dental implants

In some cases this procedure is done under general anaesthesia and local anaesthesia is still administered to ensure patient comfort.

The entire process, from initial consultation to final restoration, can take several months, depending on factors such as bone healing and the complexity of the case.
