Replace missing teeth. Restore your confidence

Dental implants are a strong, natural-looking solution for patients with missing or damaged teeth.

Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are placed directly into the jawbone for a long-lasting, secure fit and a smile that is brighter and longer lasting than before.

What is a dental implant?

A small titanium post is placed, or ‘implanted’ in the jawbone to replace the tooth root.
Once that has healed, the implant supports a crown, bridge or denture.
There is no need to anchor your new tooth to the surrounding teeth. The new titanium implant is a more permanent solution than a denture.
The implant looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth.

Why choose dental implants?

They are a permanent, stable and natural-looking replacement to your original tooth.
An implant doesn’t impact the healthy teeth surrounding the implanted tooth.
Implants have a high success rate and are incredibly durable.
Implants are ideal for replacing a single tooth or securing full sets of dentures.
With proper care, they can last a lifetime.

What you need to know:

Implants are placed over two appointments, several weeks apart.
Your initial consultation includes a full mouth exam and digital scans to ensure your mouth is healthy and there aren’t any additional underlying conditions.
The surgery to place the implants is performed under local anaesthetic or sedation.
The healing time from having the implants placed in typically takes 4–6 weeks before your final crown is put in place.
Our team is there to answer questions at every step and will guide you through your tailored post-op care plan and long-term maintenance of your new implant.
