Dental Implant Placement

A dental implant replaces a missing tooth with a titanium post placed into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial root for a crown fitted later. At Royal Dent the surgery is carried out by experienced oral surgeons who also perform bone procedures such as sinus lifts when the upper jaw needs extra support. Placement begins with an implant consultation and CT-based planning. The implant post is priced here; the crown that sits on top is quoted separately so each stage is transparent.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone to take the role of a missing tooth's root. Once it has fused with the surrounding bone over a healing period, it provides a stable foundation for a crown, bridge or denture, restoring the ability to bite and chew and helping to preserve the bone that would otherwise shrink after tooth loss. Royal Dent has offered implant treatment as one of its core specialties since the practice opened, with surgeons who also handle the more demanding cases. Treatment starts with an implant consultation and three-dimensional CT imaging, taken on the clinic's own scanner, so the bone volume and the position of nerves and the sinus can be assessed before surgery is planned. The implant is then placed under local anaesthetic; where the upper back jaw lacks height, a sinus lift may be carried out to build up the bone first. After a healing phase of several months the implant is restored with a crown, which is quoted separately. Modern titanium implants are widely used and well documented, and outcomes are associated with good long-term stability when oral hygiene is maintained and the site is allowed to heal properly. Suitability depends on general health, gum condition and available bone, all of which the surgeon reviews at consultation. The clinic advertises 0% instalment financing, which can help spread the cost of implant-based plans.
