Dental implants

An implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth and holds a natural-looking crown. Booking here is for the planning consultation.

How it works

  1. 1

    Plan

    Exam and 3D scan to check bone and plan the position.

  2. 2

    Place

    The implant is placed under local anaesthetic; it then heals for 2–4 months.

  3. 3

    Restore

    A custom crown is fixed on top.

Questions

Am I a candidate?

Most healthy adults are. Smoking and uncontrolled diabetes need extra planning.

How long do implants last?

With good care, many last decades. The crown may need replacing over time.
