Dental Implant

A titanium dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth, providing a stable foundation for a crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. At Denti Clinic placement is planned digitally, including CBCT 3D imaging, so the implant position is mapped to the available bone before surgery. The fixture is placed under local anaesthetic, left to integrate with the jawbone, and later restored with a porcelain crown. Single implants, multiple implants and implant-supported bridges are all offered.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone to take the place of a missing tooth root. Once it has fused with the surrounding bone — a process called osseointegration that usually takes a few months — it can carry a crown, a bridge or a denture, restoring chewing and appearance without grinding down neighbouring teeth. Because the implant transmits chewing forces into the bone, it also helps reduce the bone shrinkage that tends to follow tooth loss. At Denti Clinic the process starts with an assessment and digital diagnostics, including panoramic and CBCT 3D imaging, which let the dentist measure the height and width of available bone and plan the implant position precisely. The fixture is placed under local anaesthetic in a procedure that is generally well tolerated; a healing abutment may be fitted to shape the gum. After a healing period the implant is restored with a porcelain crown made by the clinic's own technician. Where bone volume is insufficient, bone augmentation can be carried out to build a stable site first. Implants are suited to adults who have lost one or more teeth and want a fixed, long-lasting replacement rather than a removable denture. Treatment is staged over several visits, which can be coordinated for patients travelling in; suitability, the number of implants and any preparatory steps are confirmed at consultation.
