Why patients choose implants
A replacement tooth that is built to feel part of your smile.
Replace a missing tooth
Implants are used to replace one or more missing teeth after loss from injury, decay, or age.
Natural look and feel
The final crown is matched to the colour and shape of your own teeth so it blends in more naturally.
Better everyday function
Once treatment is complete, many patients can return to eating their usual foods more comfortably.
Stable tooth replacement
An implant is placed in the jaw bone, giving the replacement tooth a secure foundation.
Confidence without the gap
Replacing a visible gap can help restore confidence when smiling, speaking, and eating.
What treatment involves
Implant treatment happens in stages, with healing built into the plan.
Your dentist will first assess whether an implant is suitable for you. If it is, treatment is typically completed in steps so the implant can heal properly before the final tooth is fitted.

Considering implants?
Book a consultation to find out if implant treatment is right for you.
A suitability consult helps you understand the process, healing time, and whether an implant is the right replacement option.
When to ask about implants
These are common reasons patients explore implant treatment.
Not every missing tooth needs the same solution. An implant consult is useful when you want to understand whether a fixed replacement is suitable.
A missing tooth or teeth
Implants are designed for spaces left by teeth lost through injury, decay, or other causes.
A visible gap affects your smile
If you feel self-conscious about a space in your smile, implants may be one option to restore appearance.
You want a fixed replacement
Patients often ask about implants when they want something that feels more like a natural tooth.
Dentures feel inconvenient
If a denture moves, traps food, or feels uncomfortable, it is worth discussing whether an implant-based option is possible.
Chewing feels limited
Missing teeth can affect how comfortably you eat, especially in everyday meals.
You want a tailored suitability opinion
An assessment can clarify whether your gums, bone, and overall oral health support implant treatment.
Implant restoration
Planned for function as well as appearance.
Implant treatment is planned in stages, with the goal of a stable, natural-looking final result.
How implants work
The implant replaces the root, and the crown replaces the tooth you see.
Implant treatment happens in stages. A titanium implant is placed into the jaw bone first, then the visible replacement tooth is added after healing. That step-by-step approach helps the final result look and function more like a natural tooth.
- Titanium is commonly used in implant treatment and is well suited to this type of restoration.
- Healing time is usually around three to six months before the crown is placed.
- The final crown is matched to your surrounding teeth for colour and shape.
