Advanced Dental Implants for Confident Smiles

A Permanent, Natural Solution for Missing Teeth
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Introduced in modern dentistry in the 1950s, dental implants use a biocompatible titanium screw post that acts as an artificial tooth root and is securely placed into the jawbone. This Screw post supports a crown, bridge, or full restoration—closely mimicking the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.
Unlike dentures or traditional bridges, dental implants are long-lasting, stable, and natural-looking. They are designed to integrate with the jawbone, offering excellent strength, comfort, and durability for everyday activities such as eating and speaking.
Why Dental Implants Are the Preferred Choice
Dental implants can be used to replace
One of the biggest advantages of dental implants is that they are supported by the jawbone, not by neighbouring teeth. This means healthy teeth are not altered or damaged. Implants do not slip or move, providing a secure and confident smile with a completely natural feel.
Types of Dental Implants
Endosteal Implants
These are the most commonly used dental implants. They are placed directly into the jawbone and are typically shaped like small screws made of titanium. Once healing is complete, a crown is attached to restore the missing tooth.
Subperiosteal Implants
This option is considered for patients who do not have sufficient healthy jawbone and are unable to undergo bone augmentation. The implant is placed on or above the jawbone but beneath the gum tissue, using specialised techniques to restore function and support.
Dental Implant Treatment Process
Evaluation & Planning
The process begins with a thorough examination, including digital imaging and assessment of bone quality and quantity. This helps determine whether bone grafting or additional procedures are required.
Tooth Extraction & Bone Preparation
If a damaged tooth is present, it may be extracted. In many cases, bone grafting is performed to create a strong foundation for the implant. In suitable cases, immediate implant placement can be done at the same appointment.
Sinus Lift (If Required)
For implants in the upper back jaw, a sinus augmentation may be performed if bone height is insufficient, allowing safe and stable implant placement.
Implant Placement
Once the bone is ready, the titanium implant is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. A healing cap is positioned, and the gums are sutured. Healing typically takes a few weeks, depending on bone quality.
Healing & Osseointegration
During this phase, the implant gradually fuses with the jawbone—a process called osseointegration. Temporary teeth may be provided, and regular follow-ups ensure proper healing.
Final Crown Placement
After successful integration, an abutment is attached to the implant, followed by a custom-made crown designed to match your natural teeth in shape, size, and colour.
