What Are Dental Implants?
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants use the latest in biocompatible titanium technology to provide a robust, long term solution to replace missing teeth. They can help replace single teeth, or be used to replace multiple teeth at once.
Dental implants usually have three distinct parts:
- Implant: An artificial device that serves as a type of root for artificial teeth.
- Abutment: A permanent metal post that holds a tooth or set of teeth in place.
- Crown: The part of the tooth that's visible whenever you open your mouth or smile.

Why Is a Dental Implant a Good Choice?
Why Is a Dental Implant a Good Choice?
If you permanently lose a tooth, it can cause further deterioration of your oral health. For example, tooth loss leads to loss of bone in the jaw, which may cause the face to look sunken. Additionally, getting a dental implant replacement will help you to continue eating as normal, and it will fill any gaps in your smile.
This is why it’s a good idea to have a dental implant.
What to Expect During Treatment?
Comfortable Implant Placement
We use effective pain management and sedation options to ensure your procedure is as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
Healing and Integration
After placement, the implant begins to fuse with the surrounding bone and soft tissues.
Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, the second stage involves uncovering the implant and securely attaching your final restoration — such as a crown, bridge, or denture.
How Long Is the Recovery Time?
Each procedure that you undergo for your dental implants will take between 30 minutes and a few hours. After surgery, it's common to experience some swelling, bruising, or minor pain. Your dentist will prescribe antibiotics before surgery to ward off infection.
Depending on the complexity of your case, you may have to take some time off work to recover. You may also need pain medication to help ease your discomfort. Depending on the type of implant you receive, your jawbone and gums will heal fully within a couple of months.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of a dental implant can vary quite dramatically depending on a number of factors, such as if you require more than one implant, the type of dental implant required (for example, All-on-4 dental implants) or even the type of materials used.
During the procedure, you shouldn’t feel any pain as your dentist or oral surgeon will apply anaesthetic. In the days following each procedure you may feel some tenderness or pain, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Yes, dental implants are usually a good option for your oral health. Speak to your dentist about whether they would be suitable for you.
As with natural teeth, it's important to properly care for your dental implants to avoid issues. That means thoroughly brushing your teeth and rinsing out your mouth to remove debris and plaque. You'll also want to continue getting regular dental check-ups. If you neglect your dental hygiene after you've received dental implants, plaque and gum infections can occur because they're bonded with the jawbone and gum tissues.
Dental implants are made to last, so technically speaking, they should last a lifetime. Regular check ups and proper care will ensure their longevity. If anything, you may need a new crown after 10-15 years if your existing one begins to wear down or crack.
Your dentist will advise you on whether or not you are a good candidate for dental implants.
Generally speaking, children and teens are too young for implants as their bones are still developing, smokers are advised to quit if they want an implant because the habit can cause bad outcomes with the healing process, and those who don’t take good care of their teeth may also not be good candidates as you will need to look after your oral health for the implant to work.
Additionally, those in advanced age may not be advised to have implants, as they may not heal as well as required.
Each procedure takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2-3 hours, depending on what’s needed.
Dental implants require minor surgeries, which means there are some risks involved. These include; infection, sinus problems, injury, or nerve damage. Although these are not the norm, it is best to speak to your dentist about the risks involved with your specific case.
