What are my Implant Options?

Dental implants are a durable, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. Whether you're missing one tooth, several teeth, or all of them, there's an implant solution for you:

  • Single Tooth Implants: Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth without affecting adjacent teeth. A titanium post is placed in the jawbone, topped with a natural-looking crown for a seamless result.

  • Implant-Supported Bridges: Perfect if you're missing several teeth in a row. Instead of a traditional bridge that relies on surrounding teeth, dental implants support the restoration for better strength and stability.

  • All-on-4 or Full Arch Implants: For those missing most or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, this option uses just a few strategically placed implants to support a full set of replacement teeth — restoring function and appearance in a permanent way.
What to Expect

What to Expect - The Procedure

1.    Pre-Procedure Preparation
•    A thorough examination, including X-rays or 3D scans, will be conducted to evaluate bone density and oral health
•    Local anaesthesia (and in some cases sedation) will be administered for comfort.

2.    Surgical Placement 
•    An incision is made in the gum to expose the jawbone.
•    The implant is surgically placed into the bone and covered with gum tissue or a temporary healing abutment
•    The site may require stitches to promote healing.

3.    Healing Phase (Osseointegration)
•    Over several months, the implant integrates with the jawbone
•    Follow-up visits are necessary to monitor healing.

4.    Final Restoration
•    Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a crown, bridge, or denture is placed to restore function and aesthetics

Success Rate

Dental implants require a staged approach, typically spread over several months. Healing and osseointegration are essential for long-term success. Dental implants have a high success rate. However, success depends on factors such as bone quality, oral hygiene, and overall health. While implants are designed to be a long-term solution, no guarantees can be made regarding their longevity or outcome.
