At a glance
An implant supports a replacement tooth from within the jaw. Suitability and timing need individual assessment.
Your care, step by step
01
Placement
The implant is placed in the jaw.
02
Healing
Bone integration affects the treatment schedule.
03
Restoration
A custom crown completes the replacement.
Is it right for me?
Bone, gum health and medical history inform implant suitability. Smoking and grinding also matter.
Options & considerations
Ask how a bridge or removable replacement would compare for your missing tooth.
Risks & limitations
Discuss healing failure, infection and nearby anatomical structures. Your clinician should explain your individual surgical risks.
Looking after your smile
Implants need continuing cleaning and professional review. Agree on maintenance and follow-up before treatment.
