Step 1: Your Initial Consultation
Every treatment starts with a proper look at your mouth and jaw. We check your gum health, bone density and discuss what you want to achieve.
This is your chance to ask questions and understand the process. We then create a clear plan tailored to your needs and your smile.
Step 2: Placing the Titanium Implant
The implant itself is a small titanium post that acts like an artificial tooth root. Titanium is used because it is strong, durable and works well with the body.
During this stage, the post is placed carefully into your jawbone. This gives your new tooth a stable and secure foundation to build on.
Step 3: Fusing With the Bone
After placement, the implant needs time to bond with your jaw. This natural process is called osseointegration, and it is what makes dental implants so reliable.
Over the following weeks, the bone grows around the titanium post. This locks the implant firmly in place, just like a real tooth root.
Step 4: Fitting the Abutment
Once the implant has fused, a small connector called an abutment is attached. This sits just above the gum line and holds your new tooth securely.
Your gums are given a little time to heal around it. This creates a neat, comfortable base ready for the final step.
Step 5: Placing Your New Tooth
The last stage is fitting your custom-made replacement tooth onto the abutment. It is matched to the shape, shade and size of your surrounding teeth.
The result is a tooth that blends in seamlessly with your natural smile. You can bite, chew and talk with complete confidence again.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
There is a reason so many patients choose implants over other options. They combine a natural appearance with real, lasting strength.
Here is what makes dental implants such a popular choice:
- Discreet: Implants are matched to your other teeth, so they look and feel natural.
- Fixed and long-lasting: They are secured into your jawbone and can last as long as your natural teeth with good care.
- Prevents bone loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to maintain its structure over time.
- Restores function: You can enjoy your favourite foods again, from apples to meat, without worry.
Is It Right for You?
Most people are suitable, but a healthy foundation is important. Enough bone density and healthy gums help the implant settle and heal well.
We will always assess this at your consultation before we begin. If you need a little extra support, we can talk you through your options.
