What to expect
Dental implants replace missing teeth by placing a titanium (or titanium-alloy) fixture in the jawbone, which supports a crown, bridge, or denture.
Ideal for:
• Single missing teeth
• Multiple missing teeth (implant bridges)
• Stabilising dentures for improved comfort and chewing
Typical stages:
• Consultation and suitability assessment (bone, gums, medical history)
• Planning (often including scans and measurements)
• Implant placement (comfort-focused, local anaesthetic)
• Healing/integration period (varies by case)
• Final restoration (crown/bridge/denture) with bite checks
Benefits:
• Preserves bone and prevents shifting of neighbouring teeth
• Looks and feels close to a natural tooth
• No need to rely on adjacent teeth as with traditional bridges
We will provide a clear, staged plan with options, maintenance guidance, and expected timelines.
