Single Dental Implant
Dental implants can replace one or several teeth in your mouth. It can also help stabilise loose or uncomfortable dentures.
Implants are titanium inserts placed in the jaw bone to replace the missing root of the tooth.
Once the implant has been inserted, the jaw bone will fuse with the implant.
The implant is then protected with a crown to fill in the void.

Implant Supported Fixed partial Denture or "All on Four"
Perfect for those with most of their teeth missing and who are tired of wearing dentures, an implant supported fixed partial denture, or “All on Four” is a permanent procedure that anchors a set of replacement teeth to your jawbone.
The entire set is fixed using as little as four teeth implants, eliminating the need to get a separate implant for each missing tooth.

Implant Supported Removable Partial Denture
A modern solution for patients who need to replace multiple missing teeth, an Implant Supported Removable Partial Denture is made of a durable metal framework and natural-looking replacement teeth, supported by dental implants.
Unlike All on Four Implants, these can be easily removed for daily cleaning and be adjusted or replaced as needed.
Our dental professionals use only the highest quality biocompatible materials to ensure that each denture is custom-fitted and comfortable for the patient.
The process of receiving an implant-supported removable partial denture involves a thorough assessment, implant placement, and finally, the attachment of the partial denture.

Generally, anyone with good oral and overall health who has missing teeth or is in need of tooth replacement may be a candidate for dental implants. However, individual suitability is assessed by a dentist or oral surgeon.
-
The dental implant process typically takes several months to complete, including initial consultation and records, implant placement surgery, healing time (osseointegration), and placement of the final restoration.
-
Local anesthesia is used during the implant placement surgery, so patients typically experience minimal discomfort. Post-surgery, some soreness and swelling are common, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene practices, and avoiding damaging habits like smoking are essential for longevity.

Dental implants are designed to look and function like natural teeth. Once the restoration (such as a crown or bridge) is placed on top of the implant, it closely resembles a natural tooth, and it's unlikely that anyone will notice it is an implant.
-
While rare, complications such as infection, implant failure, or damage to surrounding structures may occur. However, these risks are minimised by a qualified dental professional and following post-operative care instructions.
