Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental implants and how do they replace missing teeth?

Dental implants are permanent tooth replacement solutions that use a titanium post placed into the jawbone to support a natural looking crown, restoring both function and appearance while closely mimicking a real tooth. 

Who is a suitable candidate for dental implants?

Most adults with missing teeth, healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are suitable for dental implants, and a detailed assessment is used to confirm suitability and plan safe long term results. 

How long do dental implants last with proper care?

Dental implants can last many years and often decades when supported by good oral hygiene, regular dental check ups and healthy lifestyle habits, making them a reliable long term investment. 

Is dental implant treatment painful?

Dental implant treatment is generally well tolerated, with local anaesthesia used to ensure comfort during the procedure and manageable soreness during the healing phase. 

How long does the dental implant process take from start to finish?

The dental implant process typically takes several months, allowing time for the implant to integrate with the jawbone before the final crown is placed for optimal strength and stability. 

What are the benefits of choosing dental implants over dentures or bridges?

Dental implants provide superior stability, preserve jawbone structure, do not rely on neighbouring teeth and offer a more natural feel compared to removable dentures or traditional bridges.

Caring for dental implants involves brushing and flossing daily, attending regular dental visits and maintaining healthy gums to protect the implant and surrounding bone.
