Dental Implants
A permanent, fixed solution for missing teeth — from one tooth to a full arch.
A dental implant is a biocompatible titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it has fused with the bone, a zirconia or porcelain crown is fitted, giving the closest possible look and bite to a natural tooth.
Solutions range from a single missing tooth to a completely toothless jaw: single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges and fixed full-arch prostheses. For people who wear removable dentures, fixed implant-supported teeth can make a real difference to everyday life.
If there is not enough bone, bone grafting or, in the upper jaw, a sinus lift can create a solid foundation for the implant. Planning is based on a 3D CT scan, so the position, angle and length of each implant are decided in advance.
Implant surgery can be done under local anaesthetic or, for anxious patients and those needing several implants, under general anaesthesia in a hospital setting — comfortably and in a single session.
