Dental Implants

When a tooth and its root are missing, the long-term solution for a natural function is a dental implant and made-to-match crown.

A dental implant is a small but strong post made from biocompatible metals or ceramics. Under local anaesthetic, it is inserted into the jaw bone in place of the missing tooth root and acts as a support for the tooth.

Healing Phase

The healing phase is between 6 and 12 weeks depending on the individual medical situation. During this period the implant becomes securely attached to the jaw bone – a process called osseointegration. Once healed, this artificial root acts as a base for fixing individual crowns, multi-tooth bridges, or an entire dental prosthesis.

“After I first saw my smile, I was delighted, really delighted, because it’s made such a difference. I’m not worried about the crown falling out for any particular reason now, the implant is good.”
