Implant consultation
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth. The implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, providing a permanent, durable solution for missing teeth. Implants are ideal for patients with sufficient bone density and good overall health, offering superior stability compared with other prosthetics and helping to prevent bone loss in the jaw.
The benefits include restoring the natural appearance and function of the teeth, preserving jawbone health, improving your ability to chew and speak, and long-term durability and stability.

Frequently asked questions
What are the advantages of dental implants over dentures?
Dental implants offer superior stability, durability and a natural look and feel. Unlike dentures, they do not slip or require adhesives. Implants also help prevent jawbone loss by stimulating bone growth, maintaining facial structure and oral health.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The process typically takes several months. After the implant is placed, a healing period of three to six months is needed for osseointegration. Once healed, an abutment and crown are added to complete the restoration. The exact timeline varies from patient to patient.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure thanks to local anaesthesia. Afterwards, mild pain and swelling are common but manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Following your dentist's aftercare instructions helps ensure a smooth, relatively pain-free recovery.
