Quick answer

A dental implant is a titanium post placed in the jaw to replace a missing tooth root, topped with a ceramic crown. Healing takes about three to six months, so international patients usually make two trips.

About Dental Implants

Implants are the most natural way to replace missing teeth: they stand alone, protect the jawbone and do not involve neighbouring teeth.

Placement is planned on a 3D scan so the implant sits where the final tooth needs to be, which matters most in the aesthetic zone.

Who it is for

  • One or more missing teeth
  • Loose bridges or dentures
  • Teeth that cannot be saved

Step by step

  1. 3D planning

    CBCT scan and digital implant plan.

  2. Placement

    Implant placed under local anaesthesia.

  3. Healing

    Bone integrates with the implant over 3–6 months.

  4. Final crown

    A custom ceramic crown is fitted.

Frequently asked questions

Is implant surgery painful?

It is done under local anaesthesia; most patients describe it as easier than an extraction.

How many trips will I need?

Usually two: one for placement and one for the final crown after healing.

How long do implants last?

With good hygiene and check-ups, implants can last decades.

Am I a candidate for implants?

Most healthy adults are. Bone volume, gum health, smoking and some medical conditions are assessed on a 3D scan and at consultation.

What if I do not have enough bone?

Bone grafting or alternative implant positions can often make treatment possible; this is planned on the 3D scan.

Are implants visible?

No. The implant sits in the bone; only the ceramic crown is visible, designed to match neighbouring teeth.

How do I care for implants?

Brush and floss as for natural teeth and keep regular check-ups; gum health around implants is essential.
