HYGIENE SERVICES What are Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. These small titanium posts are surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as a strong and durable foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, restoring your smile and confidence.

We make the process simple and stress-free:
- Consultation & 3D Scan – We assess your mouth and create a custom treatment plan.
- Implant Placement – The titanium implant is placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia.
- Healing Period – The bone naturally fuses with the implant (osseointegration).
- Abutment & Crown Placement – A connector (abutment) and custom-made crown are attached.
Total time: 3-6 months depending on the patient
Types Of Dental Implants
Single Implant Restoration
In cases where you are missing a single tooth a dental implant and crown may be an ideal solution. Here, an implant is placed which serves as a foundation for a ceramic crown. Using this method neighbouring teeth are not compromised and bone loss that is associated with the missing tooth area is halted.
Supporting Dental Bridges
In cases where a number of adjacent teeth are missing, dental implants may be used to support a bridge. Here, one or more dental implants are placed and serve as a method of firmly fixing a bridge. Unlike the traditional bridge preparation, which requires supporting teeth to be ground down, this method protects the remaining healthy teeth while also protecting further loss of natural bone associated with tooth loss.
Anchoring Dentures
In cases where many or all teeth are missing, dental implants may be used to anchor a denture. Here, multiple strategically placed dental implants are placed to ensure that the denture is securely attached. A number of treatment options are possible including removable dentures, fixed on an implant bar and screw-retained bridge. Unlike a traditional denture, this method does not require the use of adhesive and ensures more comfort and functionality for the patient.
