A dental implant is the modern gold standard for replacing a missing tooth. A small, biocompatible titanium post is gently placed in the jawbone where it fuses naturally, acting as an artificial root. A custom crown is then fixed on top, giving you a tooth that looks, feels and functions just like your own.
Unlike bridges, implants do not require grinding down healthy neighbouring teeth, and they preserve the jawbone that is otherwise lost after an extraction. With good care, an implant can last a lifetime – letting you eat, speak and smile with complete confidence.
Adults with one or more missing teeth – whether lost to decay, gum disease or injury – who want a fixed, permanent replacement instead of a removable denture or a bridge that involves cutting healthy teeth.
