Reclaim Your Confidence: Don't let missing teeth hold you back
Dental implants, whether for a single tooth or multiple teeth, we have witnessed significant advancements in design, techniques, and materials over the last two decades, making them an integral aspect of modern dentistry and a popular choice.
For our patients, dental implants offer a convenient alternative to traditional dentures and allow artificial teeth to be secured firmly in the mouth. Those who have made the switch frequently share remarkable improvements in their ability to eat and speak comfortably.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Enhanced Confidence: Smile confidently with a full set of natural-looking teeth.
- Improved Oral Health: Dental implants protect your oral health by preventing bone loss and preserving adjacent teeth.
- Comfort: No more pain when removing dentures & enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions.
- Durability: Implants are a long-term solution that can last a lifetime with proper care.
What to Expect in Your Appointment
Your dental implant consultation and treatment plan is a crucial step in restoring your smile. Here’s how to prepare for your appointment:
Consultation and Treatment Plan
- Begin with a comprehensive consultation, where your dentist reviews your medical history and oral health.
- Your suitability will be reviewed and based on this assessment, you will receive a personalised treatment plan outlining the number of implants, timeline, and any additional procedures if needed.
Discussion and Preparation
- Your dentist will explain the procedure, anesthesia options, and expected outcomes.
- Follow any pre-operative instructions provided, such as fasting if anesthesia is involved.
The Procedure
- On the appointment day, you’ll receive anesthesia for comfort.
- The dental team will surgically place the implant(s) in your jawbone.
Recovery and Healing
- After the procedure, you’ll receive post-operative care instructions.
- Some swelling, discomfort, or minor bleeding may occur initially but is usually manageable. Contact us if you have any concerns.
- Allow time for healing, as dental implants need to fuse with your jawbone, a process called osseointegration.
Follow-Up and Restoration
- Schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and healing.
- Discuss the next steps, where we can begin the placement of a dental prosthesis.
- After full integration, continue with routine oral care, including regular check-ups and good oral hygiene practices.
Your dentist will guide you through each step, ensuring your comfort and addressing any concerns during your unique dental implant journey.

Dental Implant FAQs
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable and long-term solution for missing teeth.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
Most patients report only mild discomfort during and after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?
It’s important to know that each person is unique and while those with good oral health and sufficient bone density could be candidates for dental implants, a thorough evaluation by a dentist will determine suitability.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants can vary depending on factors like the number of implants, location, and any additional procedures needed. A consultation with your dentist can provide a personalised estimate.
Are dental implants noticeable or do they look natural?
Dental implants are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. They are virtually indistinguishable from surrounding natural teeth.
How long does the dental implant process take from start to finish?
The entire dental implant process can take up to several months, including the healing period. However, this can vary depending on individual cases and the need for additional treatments.
Will I have a gap in my teeth while the implant heals?
Whether you will have a visible gap in your teeth during the healing process of a dental implant depends on several factors, including the location of the implant, your specific treatment plan, and the type of restoration used. Here are some scenarios to consider:
- Immediate Loading: In some cases, especially with advancements in implant dentistry, you may receive a temporary crown or bridge immediately after the implant placement. This temporary restoration can help maintain your smile’s appearance while the implant heals.
- Healing Cap or Cover Screw: If an immediate restoration is not feasible, your dentist may place a healing cap or cover screw over the implant. While this may leave a small gap, it is typically not highly visible and can be covered with your lips when you smile.
- Back Teeth: In the case of dental implants in the back of the mouth, where esthetics are less critical, the absence of a tooth may not be noticeable even without a temporary restoration.
- Front Teeth: When a dental implant is in a highly visible area, your dentist will take extra care to provide a temporary restoration, prosthesis or a solution that minimises any noticeable gap.
- Temporary Removable Prosthesis: If the gap is a concern, your dentist may provide you with a temporary removable prosthesis, often referred to as a flipper or a partial denture. This removable appliance can fill the gap in your smile while your implant heals.
It’s essential to discuss your concerns and preferences with your dentist during the treatment planning stage. They can explain the options available for maintaining your smile’s appearance during the healing period and provide a solution that aligns with your aesthetic and functional goals. Keep in mind that the length of the healing period can vary depending on individual factors, but your dentist will guide you through the process to ensure a successful outcome.
Do I need to whiten my teeth before I get my dental implant?
Whitening your teeth before getting a dental implant is not a requirement, but it is a personal choice. The colour of your natural teeth is something you can discuss with your dentist during the implant consultation. Some patients choose to whiten their teeth before the implant procedure to ensure that the artificial tooth or crown matches their desired tooth shade.
However, it’s important to note that dental implants are typically made of materials like porcelain or ceramic, which can be colour-matched to your existing teeth or the shade you prefer. Your dentist will work with you to achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing result, whether you decide to whiten your natural teeth or not.
Ultimately, the decision to whiten your teeth before getting a dental implant is a cosmetic one, and it should be based on your personal preferences and the recommendations of your dentist to achieve the desired outcome.
Do dental implants require special care?
Dental implants require regular oral hygiene practices, such as brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups, just like natural teeth. Proper care is essential to maintain their longevity.
Can I eat normally with dental implants?
Yes, you can eat a wide range of foods without restrictions with dental implants. They provide a stable chewing surface, allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods.
Are there any risks or complications associated with dental implants?
While dental implant surgery is generally safe, there are potential risks and complications, including infection, implant failure, and nerve damage. Your dentist will discuss these risks and take steps to minimise them during the planning and execution of the procedure.
