What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a titanium screw that mimics the root of a missing tooth. Placed into the jawbone, it fuses with the bone over time (osseointegration) and supports a porcelain or zirconia crown on top — giving you a natural-looking, permanent tooth replacement.

The Implant Process Step by Step
1. Initial Consultation & X-ray
A full oral exam and panoramic X-ray assess bone density and gum health. 3D CBCT scanning may also be used.
2. Implant Placement
Under local anaesthetic, the titanium post is placed in the jawbone in 30–60 minutes. Most patients feel no pain during the procedure.
3. Healing (Osseointegration)
The implant integrates with the bone over 2–6 months. A temporary tooth is fitted during this period.
4. Crown Placement
Once healed, a custom porcelain or zirconia crown is attached. Your new tooth is fully functional.
How Long Do Implants Last?
With proper care and regular check-ups, a quality implant can last a lifetime. The crown may need replacing after 10–15 years.
