Personal assessment, clear explanations and attention to aftercare.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone. It can provide a foundation for a crown, bridge or implant-retained denture.
Whether an implant is suitable depends on your oral health, gums, jawbone and personal circumstances. The dentist will assess these carefully during an examination.
When might an implant be an option?
An implant may be discussed if you:
- are missing one or more teeth
- are looking for a durable replacement
- want a bridge or denture to function more securely
- experience problems with a loose denture
These situations do not automatically mean that an implant is possible or advisable. An individual assessment is always required.

Comfort and anaesthesia
Treatment usually takes place under local anaesthesia. Some soreness or swelling may occur afterwards. Your clinician will give you instructions before and after treatment based on your procedure and circumstances.
Care and longevity
Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups are important for maintaining an implant and the surrounding gums. The lifespan of an implant differs from person to person and cannot be guaranteed.
