What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials (usually titanium or zirconia) that are placed into your jawbone to support replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. They are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering natural appearance, full function, and long-term durability.

The Procedure: What to Expect
From your first consultation to the final prosthetic placement, we ensure a smooth, predictable process:
- Initial consultation & diagnostics: Clinical examination, 3D imaging / CBCT scan to assess bone quality and plan placement.
- Surgical phase: Implant placement under local anesthesia; in some cases, sedation may be offered.
- Healing & osseointegration: This is when the implant fuses with your bone (usually several months).
- Placement of abutment and prosthetic crown / fixed bridge: Custom fabricated to match your other teeth.
- Aftercare: Good oral hygiene, regular check‑ups, occasional polishing; prevent overloading the implant.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Choosing dental implants will give you many advantages including:
- Natural look, feel, and function — you can chew, speak, and smile naturally.
- Protecting adjacent teeth — unlike bridges, implants don’t require grinding down neighbouring healthy teeth.
- Preventing bone loss — implants stimulate the jawbone and preserve facial structure.
- Long‑lasting solution with proper care — implants can last decades.
- Improved comfort and confidence — no slipping dentures, better oral health.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the surgery hurt?
Local anesthesia or sedation is used. Discomfort post‑surgery is manageable with prescribed medications and proper care.
How long is recovery time?
Most patients heal sufficiently to eat soft foods within a few days, but full osseointegration may take 3‑6 months depending on individual factors.
Am I a good candidate?
Good general health, adequate jawbone volume, and proper oral hygiene are essential. If bone loss has occurred, bone grafting or sinus lift may be recommended.
Will my Dental implants look natural?
Yes. We use high‑quality materials (zirconia, porcelain) and custom design crowns to match your natural teeth in color, size, and shape.
