Restorative dentistry
A replacement that stays put.
An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth with a titanium post, which then supports a crown, bridge or denture.
About this service
Implants are the closest thing to a natural tooth: they do not rely on neighbouring teeth, they help preserve the bone, and they let you eat normally. Treatment happens in stages, with healing time between placing the implant and fitting the final restoration.
We place single implants and full arch solutions, and plan every case on our in-office 3D scanner.
Because the office has its own CBCT scanner, we can assess your bone quality and plan the position of each implant precisely before anything is placed. That is what makes the difference between an implant that is simply placed and one that is placed well.
Who it may be appropriate for
- Anyone missing a single tooth who wants a fixed replacement
- Patients missing several teeth or a whole arch
- People who find their denture loose and want it stabilised
