Dental implants

FAQs

Get answers to common questions about dental implants.

• What are dental implants?

  Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. They consist of a titanium screw that integrates with your jawbone and a porcelain crown that looks and functions just like a natural tooth. Implants can restore your smile, confidence, and ability to eat and speak comfortably.

• What are the benefits of dental implants?

  Dental implants offer many advantages:

  • Porcelain crowns look just like natural teeth
  • Titanium implants form a strong, long-lasting bond with your jaw
  • You can chew and speak with confidence
  • Implants can last a lifetime with proper care
  • Surrounding teeth remain untouched
  • Implants help prevent jawbone loss

• How do dental implants work?

  A titanium screw is placed into your jawbone, acting as a strong foundation for your new tooth. Over time, the screw fuses with the bone, creating a durable bond. A custom-made porcelain crown is then attached, giving you a natural-looking, fully functional tooth.

• Can implants replace multiple missing teeth?

  Yes. Individual implants can replace single teeth, or multiple implants can support an implant-retained bridge. Unlike traditional bridges, implant-retained bridges don’t damage neighbouring teeth and last much longer.

• What are All-on-4 implants?

  All-on-4 implants can replace an entire arch of teeth in just one day. Four strategically placed implants support a custom-made bridge, giving you permanently fixed teeth that let you eat, speak and smile with confidence.

• Is implant treatment painful?

  Most patients find implant placement very manageable. Local anaesthetic ensures the procedure is comfortable, and any post-treatment discomfort can usually be controlled with over-the-counter pain relief.

• How long do dental implants last?

  With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last many years, often a lifetime. Your porcelain crowns may need occasional replacement over time, but the implant itself is a permanent solution.

• How do I care for my implants?

  Implants should be brushed and flossed like natural teeth. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleaning will help maintain both the implant and surrounding gums.
