WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT?
A Simple, Long-Term Solution for Missing Teeth
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It provides a secure foundation for a replacement tooth, helping restore the natural appearance and function of your smile.
Dental implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth or even a complete arch.
THE IMPLANT & THE CROWN
Designed to Work Like a Natural Tooth
A natural tooth has two main parts: the crown, which you see above the gum, and the root, which holds it securely in your jawbone.
A dental implant works in much the same way.
The Implant
A small titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth root.
The Crown
A custom-made replacement tooth attached to the implant, carefully designed to blend naturally with your smile.
HOW DENTAL IMPLANTS WORK
A Secure Foundation for Your New Tooth
Dental implants are made from titanium, a material that is well accepted by the body.
After placement, the surrounding bone gradually bonds with the implant through a natural healing process called osseointegration. This typically takes around 8–12 weeks, although healing times can vary.
Once integrated, the implant provides a strong, stable foundation for your replacement tooth.

From a Single Tooth to a Complete Smile

WHAT ABOUT DURING TREATMENT?
No Need to Hide Your Smile
In many cases, a temporary replacement tooth can be provided while your implant heals, so you can continue smiling with confidence throughout treatment.
Your clinician will discuss the most suitable options for you during your assessment.
