Dental Implants

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated with the bone (a process called osseointegration), they provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

For straightforward cases, the implant fixture is placed on day one. After 3–6 months of healing (osseointegration), your permanent crown is fitted. For patients with a limited stay, we offer same-day immediate loading implants where clinically appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does getting an implant hurt?

The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain while the implant is being placed. Afterwards, some swelling, bruising and tenderness for a few days is normal and is usually controlled with the medication your dentist prescribes.

Can I still have implants if I have lost jawbone?

In many cases, yes. A 3D scan shows exactly how much bone is available, and if it is insufficient, procedures such as bone grafting or a sinus lift can rebuild the area so the implant has a secure base. Your dentist will explain which option, if any, is needed for you.

How do I look after my implants?

Treat them like natural teeth: brush twice a day, clean between them daily with floss or interdental brushes, and attend regular check-ups and hygiene visits. Keeping the gums around the implant healthy is the key to protecting it in the long term.

Are smokers or people with diabetes able to get implants?

Often they can, but both conditions can slow healing and raise the risk of complications. Smoking should be reduced or stopped around the time of surgery, and diabetes should be well controlled. Your dentist will assess your health history before recommending treatment.

What happens if an implant does not integrate properly?

This is uncommon, but if an implant fails to bond with the bone, it can be removed, the area allowed to heal, and a new implant placed once the site is ready. Regular follow-ups help detect any problem early.

When can I eat normally after the surgery?

For the first few days, stick to soft, lukewarm foods and avoid chewing directly on the surgical area. As healing progresses, your dentist will guide you on returning to your usual diet, and you can eat normally once your permanent teeth are fitted.

How many implants do I need to replace several missing teeth?

You do not need one implant per missing tooth. A bridge can replace several teeth with as few as two implants, and a full arch can often be restored on four to six implants, depending on your bone and bite. A personal treatment plan will confirm the exact number.
