Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. An implant is a small titanium or compatible implant fixture placed into the jawbone, where it acts as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, it can support a crown, bridge or denture to restore the appearance and function of your smile.
Your dentist will assess your oral health, jawbone and individual needs before creating a personalised treatment plan. Dental implants can provide a stable and natural-looking replacement while helping to maintain the structure of the jaw following tooth loss.

Many adults with good general and oral health may be suitable for dental implants. Your dentist will assess your gums, jawbone and overall oral health before recommending treatment.
Dental implants can provide a long-term solution when properly cared for. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are important for maintaining your implant and surrounding tissues.
The implant procedure is normally carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some swelling or discomfort can occur afterwards and is usually manageable with appropriate aftercare.
Treatment time varies depending on the number of implants, your healing process and whether additional procedures such as bone grafting are required. Your dentist will provide a personalised treatment timeline.
