Single / Multiple
Implants

Dental implants offer a long-lasting and natural-looking alternative to dentures or bridges. They are permanent, replacement teeth. Single dental implants are used when only one tooth needs to be replaced. Multiple dental implants are used when several teeth are missing or need to be replaced. Dental implants provide improved stability and functionality compared to traditional removable dentures, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Natural Looking

Artificial teeth that won’t slip or fall out

The procedure of fitting a single implant  involves inserting a titanium root into the jawbone. This serves as a sturdy foundation for a custom-made crown. This crown is designed to match the surrounding teeth in size, shape, and colour. Multiple implants are placed strategically throughout the jawbone to support a dental bridge or dentures.

  • Permanent natural-looking replacements for missing teeth
  • Firmly anchored into the jawbone
  • Several implants can hold a full set of dentures
  • Dental implants prevent bone loss when teeth are missing
  • Improve your self confidence, and improve comfort when eating and speaking

Our Treatment Process

1. Your Consultation

During a consultation for single or multiple dental implants, the dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. This evaluation will involve a thorough examination of the teeth and gums.

Our Treatment Process

2. Your Treatment

A small incision is made in the gum tissue to expose the jawbone. A hole is then drilled into the bone where the implant will be placed. The implant, usually made of titanium, is then screwed into the hole and the gum tissue is stitched back.

Our Treatment Process

3. Aftercare

Proper aftercare advice should be followed for successful healing and long-term maintenance of your implants. Implant patients should avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption as these can interfere with the healing process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

  • Having dental implants fitted is generally not a painful procedure. Most patients report feeling only minimal discomfort during and after the implant placement. Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area, ensuring that the patient does not feel any pain during the placing process.

  • A minimum of 4 dental implants is needed to support a full set of dentures. However, in some cases, more implants may be necessary for added stability and support. Factors such as the your bone density, oral health, and personal preferences will all play a role in determining the number of implants required.

  • On average, dental implants can last anywhere between 15 to 25 years or more. Regular dental check-ups and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity of the implants.

  • Once you’ve been deemed eligible, the actual implant procedure can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours per implant.

  • The healing process of dental implants can vary from person to person, but on average, it takes around 3 to 6 months for the implants to fully heal. During this time, the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
