RESTORATIVE & IMPLANT DENTISTRY
A titanium root placed in the jaw and restored with a custom crown — the one way to replace a missing tooth without cutting down the healthy teeth on either side of it.
A dental implant is a titanium fixture placed in the jaw to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant has integrated with the surrounding bone, it can support a custom crown, bridge or full-arch restoration designed to restore function and appearance.
Implant treatment starts with a detailed assessment of your teeth, gums, bite and available bone. Digital photographs, scans and 3D imaging where needed help us plan implant position, restoration design and the overall treatment sequence before surgery.
Treatment can range from replacing a single missing tooth to restoring several missing teeth or an entire arch. The number and position of implants depend on your anatomy, bone availability, bite and the type of restoration being planned.
Dental implants may be suitable when one or more teeth are missing and the surrounding tissues can support implant treatment. Bone volume, gum health, general health, smoking and other factors can affect the treatment plan. We assess these factors before recommending an implant solution.
Implant treatment can replace a single missing tooth, several missing teeth or an entire arch. Depending on your situation, implants may support an individual crown, a bridge or a fixed full-arch restoration. Your treatment is planned according to your teeth, bone, bite and long-term needs.
YOUR VISIT
We assess your teeth, gums, bite and overall health. Digital photographs, CBCT 3D imaging and other investigations may be used where needed to evaluate bone, anatomy and implant suitability. Relevant blood tests may also be requested based on your medical history and planned procedure.
Your implant position and restoration are planned digitally around your available bone, neighbouring teeth, bite and final smile. This allows the surgical and restorative stages to be coordinated from the beginning.
The titanium implant is placed in the planned position under local anaesthetic. Healing time is then allowed for the implant to integrate with the surrounding bone before the final restoration is fitted.
Once healing is complete and the implant is ready, a custom crown, bridge or full-arch restoration is fitted and checked for function, comfort and appearance. Follow-up care helps maintain your implant and surrounding tissues over time.
Questions
The cost depends on the number of implants, the type of restoration and whether additional treatment is needed before or during implant placement. After your assessment, you receive a clear treatment plan and agreed pricing for your case.
Implant placement is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel the procedure itself. Some soreness, swelling or tenderness can occur afterward and usually improves over the following days.
The surgical appointment itself may be relatively short, but the complete treatment timeline depends on healing, bone conditions and the type of restoration. Some cases can be completed in a shorter sequence, while others require several months.
Dental implants can provide long-term tooth replacement when properly planned and maintained. Their longevity depends on factors including oral hygiene, gum health, bite, smoking and regular professional follow-up.
Bone loss does not automatically rule out implant treatment. The available bone is assessed using clinical examination and 3D imaging where needed. Depending on the case, additional procedures may be considered before or alongside implant placement.
Yes, but smoking measurably reduces Yes. Several missing teeth can be replaced using multiple implants supporting individual crowns or a bridge, depending on the number and position of the missing teeth and your bone, gum health and bite.
Yes. When most or all teeth in an arch are missing or cannot be predictably restored, several implants may support a fixed full-arch restoration. The number and position of implants are determined by your individual anatomy and treatment plan.
Dental implants and dentures are different treatment options with different benefits, limitations and requirements. Implants can provide fixed support for a crown, bridge or full-arch restoration, while dentures are removable. Your suitability and priorities determine which option may be appropriate.
