What Are Dental implants?
Dental implants offer one of the most effective and long lasting ways to replace one or more missing teeth, providing a fixed alternative to removable dentures. They work by setting a small metal screw into the jaw, and once established, it is fixed onto the implant, creating stable and natural-looking results.

Dental implants can restore function to your mouth and give you a natural-looking smile. They are durable and can last for many years.
Missing teeth
Missing teeth can lead to bone loss, shifting teeth, and difficulty chewing. They can also make you self-conscious about your smile

Persistent pain or discomfort, especially while chewing, could be a sign that you need dental implants.
Dental implant fitting Process
The entire dental implant process can take 6 to 12 months, and may involve multiple visits to the dentist.
1. Consultation
We’ll perform an oral exam, discuss treatment options, and answer questions.
4. Osseointegration
We then wait for the jawbone to grow into and join with the surface of the implant. This can take several months.
2. Planning
We’ll then take a series of scans and photographs, and a CBCT radiograph will be taken to create a virtual image of your teeth, gums, and jaw.
5. Attachment of the abutment
The abutment is usually attached to the implant body with a screw and extends into the mouth to support the artificial teeth.
3. Surgery
Next, we’ll undertake the surgery and insert the implant.
Aftercare
After the implants are placed, you may experience some swelling, bruising, pain, and minor bleeding. Sometimes, we may recommend over-the-counter pain medication, and you may be advised to eat soft foods.
