What is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are a titanium root replacement, resembling a screw, that is inserted into the jawbone to serve as a sturdy foundation for a crown. This crown is then attached to fill the space of a missing tooth.
​
Dental implants are one of the most effective treatments available for replacing one or more missing teeth. A key advantage of dental implants is that they are the only cosmetic dental procedure that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Moreover, dental implants are highly durable, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime. A study published in the International Journal of Implant Dentistry found that 99% of patients reported satisfaction with their implants at the five-year mark.
Step-by-Step Dental Implant Procedure
1. Initial Consultation Assessment
Your oral health is evaluated through exams, X-rays, and possibly a CT scan (3D Image), which the dentist may request.
​
Treatment Plan
Discuss your dental goals and create a personalised treatment plan. (This plan may involve, if necessary, removing any damaged teeth that need replacement and adding bone if required.)
​
2. Implant Placement
Insert the dental implant (a small titanium screw) into the jawbone, serving as the root for the new tooth. Allow 3-6 months for the implant to integrate with the bone (osseointegration).
​
3. Abutment Placement
Once the implant has bonded with the jawbone, an abutment (small connector) is placed on top of the implant.
​
4. Crown Placement
Fabricate a custom crown (artificial tooth) to match your implant and attach it securely to the abutment, finalising the implant procedure.
​
5. Aftercare
Schedule regular check-ups to ensure the implant is functioning properly.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer several benefits that set them apart from other replacement options, such as dentures and bridges.
Natural Look and Feel
Implants closely replicate the appearance, feel, and function of natural teeth, providing a seamless smile.
Improved Oral Health
Implants contribute to long-term oral health by preventing bone loss and maintaining jaw structure.
Permanent Solution
With proper care, implants are a lifelong solution, offering durability and reliability.
High Satisfaction Rate
A study shows 99% of patients are satisfied with their implants after five years, highlighting their success.
Stability and Comfort
Implants provide a secure, stable fit without adhesives, eliminating concerns about slippage.
Unlike dentures, they are fixed to your jawbone, so they are comfortable and don’t require adhesives.
In addition to their stability, dental implants don’t damage the adjacent teeth like bridges.
Experience the Look, Feel, and Function of Natural Teeth with Dental Implants
Dental implants are the closest you can get to having your natural teeth back. Crafted from titanium and designed to integrate seamlessly with your jawbone, dental implants provide a secure and stable foundation for a crown that matches the appearance of your natural teeth. This means that once in place, dental implants look, feel, and function just like your original teeth.
​
Whether you’re chewing your favourite foods, speaking clearly, or smiling with confidence, dental implants offer the same reliability and comfort as natural teeth. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, preserving your natural smile and oral health.
