- Natural Aesthetics & Feel
Dental implants closely mimic natural teeth—not only in appearance but also in how they feel inside your mouth. They’re designed to be virtually indistinguishable from your own teeth. - Durability & Longevity
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, there’s no need for frequent replacement—making implants an excellent long-term investment in both your oral health and your smile - Bone Preservation & Facial Support
Without a tooth root, the jawbone can deteriorate over time, leading to bone loss and a sunken facial appearance. Implants stimulate and preserve bone structure, helping maintain youthful facial contours. - Protecting Neighbouring Teeth
Unlike bridges, which require reshaping adjacent teeth for support, implants stand independently—preserving the health and structure of surrounding teeth. - Comfort & Functionality
Implants feel secure and are integrated into your mouth just like real teeth. You can eat, speak, and live with freedom and without concerns of slipping restorations.
The Implant Journey: What to Expect
- Initial Evaluation
You’ll receive a complete dental examination, including imaging and health history review, to determine if dental implants are right for you. - Surgical Placement
The titanium implant is placed into your jawbone in a minor surgical procedure. A healing period of a few months follows, during which the implant integrates with the bone. In many cases, a temporary tooth is provided so you’re not left without a smile during healing. - Restoration Phase
After osseointegration, the implant is uncovered, a healing collar may be placed, and your dentist will use digital methods—such as CEREC scanning—to design and attach your final crown or restoration. - Recovery & Care
Post-procedure, mild swelling and soreness are typical. Care involves gentle oral hygiene—brushing, flossing, and rinsing—as well as regular checkups to ensure oral health and implant longevity.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Most individuals missing one or more teeth can be candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates typically have:
- Healthy gums without active infections
- Sufficient jawbone density—or are willing to undergo preparatory treatments like bone grafting
- Good oral hygiene habits
- Non-smokers or those willing to quit (smoking impairs healing and integration)
