Caring for your dental implant
What are implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once the implants are securely anchored, they provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.​
​
Our dedicated team is here to provide you with personalised care and guide you through every step of the implant process.
Consultation: Your journey to a restored smile begins with a comprehensive consultation. Our experienced dentists will evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if dental implants are the right option for you. This may include 3D scanning and digital imaging to assess your bone structure and plan the procedure with precision.
​
Implant Placement: During the implant placement procedure, the dental implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia. In some cases, sedation options are available for your comfort. After placement, a healing period of several months is typically required to allow the implants to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
​
Abutment Placement: Once the implants have successfully integrated with the jawbone, an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment serves as a connector between the implant and the replacement tooth.
​
Restoration: The final step involves the creation and placement of your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. Our dental team will ensure that your restoration matches the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a harmonious and beautiful smile.
