Dental implants are widely regarded as the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. An implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone, where it gradually fuses with the bone to form a secure, long-lasting foundation for a replacement tooth.
Because they're anchored in the bone, implant-supported teeth look, feel and function much like natural teeth, there's no slipping or movement, and they help preserve the bone and protect neighbouring teeth. A single implant can support one crown, while a small number of implants can secure a bridge or stabilise dentures.
Treatment begins with a thorough assessment, including any scans or x-rays we need to plan precisely. The implant is then placed and given time to integrate with the bone before the final tooth is fitted. Our dentist holds a Certificate in Dental Implantology and is experienced in more complex cases, including bone grafting and sinus lifts.
With good oral hygiene and regular maintenance visits, implants can last for many years. We'll show you exactly how to care for them to keep them, and the rest of your smile, healthy.
