Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate care and high-quality dental implants tailored to your unique smile.
What exactly are
dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically implanted into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These durable and biocompatible implants provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional tooth replacement options, implants mimic the natural structure of teeth and help preserve jawbone density, promoting long-term oral health and stability.
Dental implant treatment can be quite a lengthy process, involving several appointments, but the end result makes it all worthwhile. At your initial consultation, we will go through your treatment plan in detail and give you an idea of how long we expect your treatment will take.
The implant process
Initial consultation
Your journey to a restored smile begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced dentists.
During this appointment, we'll evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you.
Step 1
Treatment planning
f you're a candidate for dental implants, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and preferences. This plan may include diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or CT scans, to assess bone structure and plan the precise placement of your implants.
Step 2
The next step is the surgical placement of the dental implants into the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort. Your implant dentist will precisely position the implants in the jawbone, taking care to maximise stability and integration.

Step 3
Healing process
After implant placement, a process called osseointegration occurs, during which the implants fuse with the surrounding bone tissue. This healing phase typically takes several months, allowing the implants to become securely anchored in the jawbone.
Step 4
Abutment placement
Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the top of each implant. The abutments serve as connectors between the implants and the replacement teeth, providing support and stability for your final restorations.
Step 5
Finally, custom-made crowns are securely attached to the abutments, completing your smile transformation. These replacement teeth are meticulously designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile.
