Why people choose implants
How treatment usually goes
Consultation
Exam and X-rays to check the bone and gums, and whether an implant is the right choice for you.
Preparing the site
Sometimes abone graftis needed first, especially if the tooth has been missing for a while.
Placing the implant
The post is placed under local anaesthetic and left to bond with the bone, typically over a few months.
The final crown
A custom crown is matched to your other teeth and fixed on top.
Replacing a missing tooth: the options side by side
| Implant | Bridge | Partial denture | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed or removable | Fixed | Fixed | Removable |
| Affects other teeth | No | Neighbours are crowned | Clasps on neighbours |
| Protects jaw bone | Yes | No | No |
| Treatment time | Several months | A few weeks | A few weeks |
| Upfront cost | Highest | Moderate | Lowest |
Every mouth is different. The exam is where we tell you which of these actually suits yours.
