Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small post placed in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth, bridge or denture. Implant treatment involves several stages and careful planning, beginning with a detailed consultation.
Overview
About dental implants
Implants are one of several options for replacing missing teeth, alongside bridges and dentures. The most suitable option depends on factors including your general health, gum health, bone volume and personal preferences.
Treatment usually involves an assessment, imaging and planning, placement of the implant, a healing period, and then fitting of the final restoration. The overall timeline varies from person to person.
As with any surgical procedure, implant treatment carries risks, and success cannot be guaranteed. Your dentist will discuss the potential benefits, risks and alternatives so you can make an informed decision.
