Dental implants offer a long-term solution for missing teeth by placing a small titanium post into the jawbone. This acts like a natural tooth root, providing a secure base for crowns, bridges, or dentures – restoring both function and appearance.
In simple terms, dental implants are like having a third set of teeth – they look, feel, and function just like your own, blending seamlessly with your natural smile.
Whether you’re missing a single tooth, several teeth, or require full-mouth restoration, dental implants offer a reliable and versatile option. They can also be used to stabilise loose or ill-fitting dentures, improving comfort and confidence.
Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, implants help preserve gum tissue and prevent bone loss in the jaw, which commonly occurs after tooth loss. They also help distribute bite pressure more evenly across your remaining teeth, which can protect and extend their lifespan.
A comfortable alternative to dentures
Dental implants stabilise loose dentures or can replace them altogether, offering exceptional comfort. They fuse with the jawbone, eliminating the need for adhesives.
Smile with confidence
Customised to suit your smile, implants look and feel natural — perfect for restoring front teeth and boosting your self-esteem.
Chew with ease
The strong titanium post acts like a natural root, allowing you to bite and chew your favourite foods without worry.
Look younger for longer
Dental implants support facial structure by stimulating the bone, helping to prevent the sunken look often caused by tooth loss.
Built to last
With the right care, implants can last a lifetime. Unlike bridges or dentures that may need replacing within a decade, implants are a stable and cost-effective solution that protect adjacent teeth and reduce wear on the rest of your smile.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are a long-term solution compared to dentures or bridges, which often need replacement every 5–10 years.
The procedure is usually carried out under local anaesthetic and is generally well tolerated. Most patients report only mild discomfort afterwards, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Most adults in good general health are suitable for dental implants. Your dentist will assess your bone density, gum health, and overall suitability during your consultation.
Treatment times can vary depending on your individual case. It typically takes a few months from implant placement to final restoration, allowing time for the implant to integrate with your jawbone.
Dental implants offer a more secure and natural-feeling solution than removable dentures. They also help preserve jawbone density and facial structure, making them a more permanent and comfortable option.
