What does it involve?
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown. A titanium or zirconia post is placed into the jawbone, given time to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration, then topped with a custom-matched crown. Unlike a bridge or a removable denture, an implant doesn't rely on the teeth next to it for support.
Who is it for?
Anyone with one or more missing teeth, from a single tooth lost to injury or decay, to multiple teeth needing replacement, who wants a permanent, natural-feeling result rather than a removable one. Suitability depends on having enough healthy jawbone to support the implant, which is assessed with a scan before treatment is planned, not assumed.
What should I expect?
Treatment typically spans 2 to 4 months in total, most of it healing time rather than time in the chair. The implant is placed first, then left to integrate with the bone for several weeks before the final crown is fitted. The exact timeline depends on the individual case and is confirmed after the initial scan.
How do I look after it?
An integrated implant is cared for exactly like a natural tooth: regular brushing, flossing and 6-monthly check-ups, with no special maintenance routine once healing is complete.
