A new root, not just a new tooth.
A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Over a healing period it fuses with the bone — a process called osseointegration — creating a stable foundation for a crown, bridge or full set of teeth.
Because the implant replaces the root as well as the visible tooth, it helps preserve the surrounding bone and lets you eat, speak and smile with confidence — without relying on or cutting down the neighbouring teeth, as a conventional bridge would.
Who it's for
You may be suitable if
- ✓You have one or more missing teeth, or a tooth that can't be saved
- ✓You'd prefer a fixed solution over a denture
- ✓Your gums are healthy and you're committed to aftercare
- ✓You want to protect the bone and shape of your face
We'll also consider
- !Bone loss — a graft or sinus lift may be planned first
- !Smoking and some health conditions, which affect healing
- !Whether All-on-4 is a better fit for multiple missing teeth
Only an in-person assessment with 3D imaging can confirm suitability — that's what your consultation is for.
