A simple introduction to
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a modern and permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Made from strong titanium, an implant acts as an artificial root that supports a natural-looking crown, bridge, or even full set of dentures. They restore both the appearance and function of your smile, making it easier to eat, speak, and live with confidence.

We’ve answered some of the most common questions about this treatment to help you feel informed and confident. If you have a question that isn’t covered here, please get in touch with our team.
What is a dental implant and why is it a popular tooth replacement option?
A dental implant is a small, screw-like post, typically made of titanium, that is surgically placed into your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. It serves as a strong, stable foundation for an artificial tooth (a crown, bridge, or denture). Dental implants are popular because, unlike other options, they fuse with the jawbone (a process called osseointegration), which helps prevent bone loss, provides a natural feel, and offers a durable, long-term solution for missing teeth.
What is the process of getting a dental implant?
The process usually involves several steps over a few months. First, the dentist or oral surgeon places the implant post into the jawbone. This is a surgical procedure often done with local anesthesia. The next phase is the most time-consuming: waiting for the implant to fuse with the jawbone, which can take several months. Once the implant has fully integrated, a small connecting piece called an abutment is attached, which extends above the gum line. Finally, a custom-made crown is placed on top of the abutment to complete the restoration.
What is the recovery like after a dental implant procedure?
The initial recovery from the surgery is similar to a routine extraction, with some expected swelling, discomfort, and minor bleeding for a few days. You will be advised to eat soft foods, avoid using a straw, and refrain from smoking to protect the blood clot and aid healing. The longer recovery period is the multi-month process of osseointegration, during which the implant fuses with your jawbone. You'll need to maintain excellent oral hygiene and attend follow-up appointments to ensure the implant is healing properly. Once the implant is fully healed and the final crown is placed, the implant should function and feel just like a natural tooth.
