Dental implants
An implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone where the tooth root used to be. Once it has fused with the bone, a natural-looking crown is fitted on top. It can replace a single tooth, support a bridge or hold a full arch without touching the neighbouring teeth.

- 3–5 months in total, 4–6 clinic visits
Free first examination and panoramic X-ray.
Who it's for

How it works
- 1
Examination and X-ray
A panoramic X-ray, and a CT scan if needed, measure the bone and set the plan.
- 2
Implant placement
Done under local anaesthesia, usually in a single session.

Final crown
Impressions are taken and a zirconia or porcelain crown is fitted.
Frequently asked
Does it hurt?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. Mild tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal and managed with painkillers.
What if I don't have enough bone?
In most cases a bone graft or sinus lift creates enough volume. Your examination will tell.
