What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium screws that act as artificial tooth roots. These are placed into the jawbone where they naturally fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once the implant is securely integrated, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore the appearance and function of the missing tooth or teeth.

Each dental implant has three main components:

• The implant post – the titanium root embedded in your jaw
• The abutment – a connector between the implant and the crown
• The crown or super-structure – the visible, tooth-like part of the implant

Dental implants are designed to look and feel like real teeth—and with proper care, they can last for decades.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Unlike bridges, dental implants do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support. And unlike dentures, they won’t wear the anchoring teeth or need glue for stability. They offer unmatched benefits:

• Natural feel & function – Speak clearly and eat confidently again
• Longevity – With good care, they can last a lifetime
• Bone preservation – Reduce bone loss in the jaw
• Aesthetic appeal – Restore facial structure and balance
• Stability – No slipping, clicking, or need for adhesives

Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults with good oral and general health are eligible for implants. However, there are a few factors we need to consider before proceeding, such as:

• Bone volume in the jaw
• Active gum disease
• Uncontrolled diabetes or certain medications (e.g., bisphosphonates)
• Smoking habits

We’ll conduct a thorough assessment, including referral for imaging, to determine if implants are right for you. If you’re not currently eligible, we may explore options such as bone grafting or mini implants.

Do Dental Implants Require Special Care?

Caring for dental implants is very similar to caring for your natural teeth:

• Brush twice a day with a soft toothbrush
• Depending on the super-structure, you will need to either floss or use a water flosser daily
• Attend 4-6 monthly check-ups and hygiene appointments

With proper care, your implant can last a lifetime.
