Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts that act as artificial roots to support permanent replacement teeth. The process involves placing the implant into the jawbone, followed by a healing period for integration before the final crown is attached. Recovery from the initial placement is usually quick, while the full restoration is completed over a few months.
Dental Implants explained
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth, giving a stable, natural-feeling base for a new crown.
What is a dental implant?
An implant is a small screw-shaped titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once it has bonded with the bone, a custom crown is fixed on top, so the new tooth looks and works like a natural one without affecting neighbouring teeth.
Is it right for me?
Implants suit adults missing one or more teeth who have enough healthy jawbone, or who can have it built up first. Your dentist checks a 3D scan of your jaw and your general health before confirming you're a candidate.
How it's done, step by step
- 1
Consultation and 3D scan: the dentist plans the implant position digitally.
- 2
Placement: the implant is inserted into the jawbone under local anaesthetic; a temporary tooth can be fitted.
- 3
Healing: over a few months the implant bonds with the bone.
- 4
Abutment and impression: a connector is added and a digital impression is taken for your crown.
- 5
Final crown: your custom crown is fitted and adjusted for a natural bite.
What you'll experience
Placement is a calm, single appointment under local anaesthetic. Most people compare it to a routine filling rather than a major operation. Your consultant arranges the visits and stays in touch in your language between them.
Recovery and results timeline
Mild swelling for a few days is normal and eased with simple aftercare. The implant then heals quietly over a few months before the final tooth is fitted; many plans allow temporary teeth in the meantime so you're never without a smile.
