Understanding Dental Implants

A tooth replacement designed to feel like part of your smile.

A dental implant is a small fixture, usually made of titanium, placed in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth. After healing and integration with the bone, it can support a crown, bridge or a suitable implant-retained denture.

Treatment suitability depends on your oral health, available bone, gum condition, medical history and individual goals.

Is Implant Treatment Right for You?

Every smile needs an individual assessment.

Many people with missing teeth may be candidates for implants, but suitability must be established through a dental assessment.

What we assess

Available bone volume and anatomy
Gum health and existing dental infections
Medical history and medications
Smoking habits and oral hygiene
Bite, restorative space and treatment goals

What about immediate implants?

In selected cases, an implant may be placed at the time a tooth is extracted. A temporary tooth or immediate loading may also be possible, but these are separate decisions.

Bone quality, implant stability, infection, bite forces and the planned restoration influence whether an immediate approach is appropriate. A staged approach may be safer or more predictable in some situations.

Good to know: Bone grafting or gum treatment may sometimes be needed before or alongside implant treatment. Not every patient requires these procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about dental implants.

Here are some useful starting points before your consultation.

Are dental implants painful?

Implant placement is usually performed under local anaesthesia. Some soreness, swelling or discomfort can occur afterwards and is managed according to your clinician's instructions. Your experience depends on the complexity of treatment.

How long do dental implants last?

Implants can function for many years, but their longevity is not guaranteed. Oral hygiene, gum health, smoking, bite forces, general health and regular professional maintenance all matter. The crown or bridge may need repair or replacement over time.

Who is a suitable candidate for implants?

Suitability depends on your medical and dental history, gum health, bone anatomy and ability to maintain the restoration. Some risk factors can be managed before treatment. An individual assessment is necessary.

What is the cost of dental implants?

Cost depends on the number and type of implants, implant system, final restoration, whether grafting is needed and the overall treatment plan. Ask for an itemised estimate after assessment so you understand what is included.

Can I get an implant immediately after extraction?

Sometimes. Immediate placement is considered only when the clinical and anatomical conditions are suitable. Immediate placement does not automatically mean that a fixed tooth can safely be loaded on the same day.

How long does implant treatment take?

Some selected cases can receive a temporary restoration early. Others require healing over several months before the final restoration is fitted. Bone grafting, healing and individual stability requirements can change the timeline.

Are dental implants better than bridges?

Neither option is best for everyone. Implants may avoid preparing neighbouring teeth, while a conventional bridge may be suitable in other situations. The condition of adjacent teeth, bone, gums, cost and your preferences help guide the decision.

How do I care for dental implants?

Brush twice daily, clean around the implant restoration using the recommended tools, and attend regular reviews. Your dental team can advise on interdental brushes, floss or other cleaning aids suitable for your specific restoration.

Can smokers get dental implants?

Smoking can increase the risk of complications and implant failure. Be open about smoking or tobacco use during your consultation. Your clinician can discuss risk reduction and whether delaying treatment is advisable.

What if I do not have enough bone?

Depending on the anatomy and clinical situation, options may include bone grafting, a different implant position or design, or an alternative tooth replacement. Imaging and examination are needed before recommending an approach.
