Unlike a bridge, an implant doesn’t rely on your neighbouring teeth for support. That means your healthy teeth stay untouched, and the implant helps keep your jawbone strong where the tooth was lost.
Yes. We design the crown to match the colour, size, and shape of your other teeth, so it blends seamlessly into your smile. Unless you point it out, no one will know it’s not your real tooth.
Not at all. The area is fully numbed before treatment, and most patients say it feels easier than having a tooth removed. A little tenderness afterwards is normal and usually settles quickly.
The process happens in stages. First, the implant is placed in the bone and left to heal for a few months to integrate securely. Once healed, we fit the crown on top. In the meantime, we can provide a temporary solution, so you’re never left with a visible gap.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last decades, often a lifetime. They’re one of the most reliable, long-term solutions in dentistry.
