Dental implants, long-lasting
Dental implants are a modern treatment solution for missing teeth, providing an effective alternative to dentures and dental bridges.
What are dental implants?
Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, several missing teeth or two arches of teeth. This is because they can be implemented in partnership with other dental treatments, such as crowns, bridges and dentures.
Because the implants replace both the tooth and its root, they are the most natural looking and functional option for missing teeth. They bring stability to the mouth and can last a lifetime if they are properly maintained.
Who is it for?
- A single missing tooth
- Several missing teeth
- Two arches of teeth
- Loose dentures that need more support
What to expect
- 01
Step 1: Placing the implant
A small hole is made in the jawbone and the implant fitted, under local anaesthesia. It is then left to heal for around 3 to 4 months during a process known as osseointegration.

Step 2: The abutment
Once integration with the jawbone has been established, an abutment is attached as a connecting device for a crown, bridge or denture.

Implant-supported dentures
Dentures can be snapped on to dental implants. Usually a minimum of 4 implants is required in the upper jaw and 2 in the lower jaw.
