Understanding Implants

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small, high-grade titanium screw that acts as an artificial tooth root. It is placed into your jawbone, where it gradually fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration) to provide a stable foundation for a replacement crown.

Long-Lasting

Designed for long-term use with proper care. Longevity varies based on individual factors including oral hygiene and bone health.

Bone-Preserving

Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to maintain bone density and prevent the facial changes associated with long-term tooth loss.

Fixed in Place

Unlike dentures, implants are fixed and do not need to be removed. They function similarly to natural teeth for eating and speaking.

Understanding the Structure

Anatomy of a Dental Implant

A dental implant consists of three key components: the titanium implant post that fuses with your jawbone, the abutment connector, and the custom-made zirconia crown that is designed to match your natural teeth.

The Implant Process

Planned with 3D CT scanning for precision placement.

Step 1

Consultation & Planning

3D CT Scan

A 3D X-ray (CBCT) is taken to assess bone levels and plan the exact implant position digitally before surgery.

Step 2

Implant Placement

Surgery (45–60 mins)

Under local anaesthetic, the titanium implant is placed into the jawbone. A temporary tooth is provided so you are never without a tooth.

Step 3

Healing Period

Osseointegration (3–4 months)

The implant gradually fuses with the jawbone. During this time you wear a temporary restoration.

Step 4

Crown Fitting

Final Restoration

A custom zirconia crown is made and fitted to the implant, colour-matched to your natural teeth.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Implants require the same care as natural teeth — plus a few extra considerations.

Do

  • Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle brush, paying attention to the gum line around the implant
  • Use interdental brushes or floss around the implant daily
  • Attend regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments
  • After surgery: follow all post-operative instructions provided
  • Report any looseness, swelling, or discomfort promptly

Avoid

  • Smoking — significantly increases risk of implant failure
  • Hard or crunchy foods for the first 2 weeks after surgery
  • Skipping dental check-ups (peri-implantitis can develop silently)
  • Chewing on very hard items like ice or pen caps
  • Ignoring signs of gum inflammation around the implant

Risks & Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks to be aware of. These will be discussed fully at your consultation.

Implant Failure

In a small percentage of cases, the implant may not integrate with the bone. Risk factors include smoking, poor oral hygiene, and certain medical conditions.

Infection

Post-surgical infection can occur. Antibiotics and careful aftercare minimise this risk. Peri-implantitis (gum disease around implants) can develop later without proper hygiene.

Nerve Damage

Rare, but the inferior alveolar nerve (lower jaw) can be affected, causing numbness or tingling. 3D planning helps minimise this risk.

Sinus Issues

Upper jaw implants may protrude into the sinus cavity. A sinus lift procedure may be needed. This is assessed during CT scan planning.

Patient Experiences

Single Front Tooth Replacement

Concern: Patient lost a front tooth due to trauma and was unhappy with a removable denture.

Treatment: A single dental implant was placed with careful gum shaping, followed by a zirconia crown matched to the adjacent teeth.

Outcome: The patient reported being pleased with the appearance and the security of a fixed replacement compared to the removable option.

Individual results may vary. A clinical assessment is required to determine suitability.

Multiple Missing Back Teeth

Concern: Patient was missing several molars on one side, making chewing difficult and causing strain on the opposite side.

Treatment: Two implants were placed to support a three-unit bridge, restoring the missing teeth without affecting neighbouring healthy teeth.

Outcome: The patient reported improved chewing function and comfort, with the implant bridge feeling similar to natural teeth.

Individual results may vary. A clinical assessment is required to determine suitability.
