Dental Implants: Restoring Confidence, Not Just Teeth

A dental implant is a safe, modern way to replace a missing tooth. It’s used when a tooth is lost or needs to be removed, giving you a strong new foundation. Once the crown is fitted, your implant looks and feels just like a natural tooth — so you can eat, smile, and speak with confidence again.

Benefits of Implants

  • Natural Look & Feel: Function and appearance similar to real teeth.

  • Long-Lasting: Durable, reliable, and can last a lifetime.

  • Prevents Bone Loss: Keeps jawbone strong and healthy.

  • Protects Adjacent Teeth: No need to file down neighbouring teeth.

  • Boosts Confidence: Restores your smile, comfort, and self-esteem.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?


Most individuals with healthy gums and adequate bone structure are good candidates for dental implants. However, conditions such as diabetes, smoking, and certain medications can affect the success of the implants. A thorough evaluation by your dentist will determine the best course of action for your specific needs.

The Implant Procedure:
Step by Step

Your journey begins with a full assessment, including scans and a review of your oral health.
From this, we create and share a detailed treatment plan with all your options.
On the day of surgery, a small opening is made in the gum and the implant is gently placed. This implant then needs time to heal and bond with the bone, usually between 2 and 4 months.
Once the implant has fully healed and fused with the bone, we take a new scan to create a custom crown that blends naturally with your smile
Finally, the crown is fitted securely onto the implant, giving you a natural-looking, fully functional new tooth.

Why Replace a Missing Tooth Quickly?

When a tooth is lost, the teeth next to the gap often start to tilt into the space, and the tooth opposite can grow longer into it. Over time, this can upset your bite, weaken the area, and make future treatment more complicated. The bone around the missing tooth also begins to shrink, which may later require extra grafting procedures.
That’s why the best time to replace a missing tooth is right at the time of extraction, or soon after, to protect the bone and keep your smile healthy and stable.

Acting early means simpler treatment, fewer problems, and a stronger, lasting result.

What choices do I have for replacing a missing tooth?

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge uses adjacent teeth as anchors to support a prosthetic tooth that fills the gap.

Partial Dentures

A removable appliance that can replace one or more missing teeth, using a gum-coloured base attached to a plastic tooth.

Bonded Bridge

A less invasive option than traditional bridges, this involves attaching a false tooth directly to the adjacent teeth with resin.

No Replacement

Opting not to replace a missing tooth, although this can lead to shifting of adjacent teeth , bone loss, and potential other oral health issues over time.

Pros and Cons of my choice:

Dental Bridges

Pro: Fixed, stable, and natural-looking.
Con: Requires filing down healthy teeth.

Partial Dentures

Pro: Affordable, non-invasive, and easy to repair.
Con: Removable and less stable than fixed options.

Bonded Bridge

Pro: Minimally invasive, little effect on nearby teeth.
Con: Less durable, often temporary, not suitable everywhere.

No Replacement

Pro: No treatment or cost upfront.
Con: Teeth may shift, bite/jaw problems, and bone loss risk.

FAQs

Most Frequently Asked Questions About Implants

Missing teeth affect not only your smile but also your ability to eat and speak comfortably. Gaps can cause nearby teeth to tilt or over-erupt, making future treatment more complex and potentially leading to further tooth loss.

Dental implants are the most natural and long-lasting solution — they prevent bone loss, protect healthy teeth, and restore your full smile and confidence.

Enjoy your meals, conversations, and photos again — because your smile matters!

You can replace missing teeth with implants, bridges, or dentures, depending on your needs.
Dental implants are the most natural and long-lasting option — they replace the tooth root and support a crown that looks and feels like a real tooth.

A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It’s gently placed under local anaesthetic and bonds naturally with your jawbone over a few months. Once healed, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore your smile.

Implants are strong, natural-looking, and long-lasting, but like natural teeth, they need regular cleaning and check-ups to stay healthy.

An immediate dental implant is placed right after a tooth is removed, during the same appointment. This means you don’t need to wait for the area to heal before getting your implant. In some cases, a temporary crown can be fitted straight away, so you leave with a complete smile the same day.

In most cases, yes — nearly any missing tooth can be replaced with a dental implant, provided there is enough healthy bone in the jaw.
Your dentist will assess bone quality and quantity during your consultation. If there isn’t sufficient bone, grafting or regeneration procedures (such as sinus lift or ridge preservation) can help create a strong foundation for the implant.

Placing an implant soon after extraction, when suitable, often helps preserve bone and make treatment simpler.

Ridge Preservation
Once a tooth is lost, the bone and gum will begin to recede. If you later decide to have an Implant fitted it may mean that the Implant would sit too high or the Crown would sit too low without a bone graft. This can be prevented in many cases by Ridge preservation & right techniques at the time of extraction which minimize the bone shrinkage & changes after an Extraction.

Can I replace all my teeth if they are missing?

Solutions available when all teeth are missing or loose and hopeless:

-A fixed bridge can be attached to 4/6 Implants placed in the jaw. (all on 4/all on 6)

-A removable denture made & fixed by 2-4 Implants to your jaw.

-A conventional denture without any fixation element to the jaw.

Often yes — unlike a bridge, an implant doesn’t require trimming adjacent teeth and helps preserve the jawbone. It’s a more long-lasting and natural option.
