Dental Implants Explained Simply

When a tooth is lost, the gap can affect chewing, speech and the health of nearby teeth. A dental implant replaces the missing root with a small titanium post that holds a natural-looking crown.

How an implant works

• A titanium post is gently placed into the jawbone.
• Over a few weeks the bone fuses with the post, giving a strong base.
• A custom crown is fixed on top to match your other teeth.

Why choose implants

Implants are fixed, so they do not slip like some dentures. They help preserve the jawbone and let you eat and smile with confidence. With good care they can last many years.

Most healthy adults with a missing tooth are suitable candidates. A short examination and X-ray at the clinic will confirm if implants are right for you.
