What Are Dental Implants?
Missing teeth do more than affect your smile — over time, the surrounding bone and teeth can shift to compensate, changing your bite. Dental implants address that directly. A titanium post is placed in the jaw to act as a new tooth root, then topped with a custom crown once it's fully healed and integrated.
Why Choose an Implant
Unlike a bridge, an implant doesn't rely on neighbouring teeth for support — it stands on its own. Implants are built to function and look like a natural tooth, and with proper care, they're designed to last for decades.
What to Expect
The process takes longer than a single visit, since the post needs time to heal and integrate with the jawbone before the final crown goes on. We'll walk you through each stage, from initial consultation to the finished restoration.
Is an Implant Right for You?
Not every situation calls for an implant — a bridge or partial denture may be a better fit depending on your needs. We'll talk through your options honestly and help you land on the right solution for your smile.
