Dental Implant Placement

A titanium dental implant placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, providing a stable foundation for a crown later. At Salvus IDC, planning is supported by 3D cone-beam imaging so the implant is positioned accurately and safely. A standard placement and an immediate option for suitable cases are both offered, each with a clear published price; the crown that sits on the implant is a separate, later stage.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that takes the place of a missing tooth's root. Once it is placed in the jawbone it integrates with the surrounding bone over the following weeks — a process called osseointegration — to form a strong, stable anchor onto which a crown, bridge or denture can later be attached. Implants are a well-established way to replace one or more missing teeth without grinding down the neighbouring ones, and by stimulating the bone they help preserve the jaw's shape over time. At Salvus IDC treatment starts with careful planning using 3D cone-beam imaging, which shows the volume and quality of bone and the position of nerves and sinuses so the implant can be placed precisely and safely. The placement itself is carried out under local anaesthetic and is generally well tolerated, with most people comparing recovery to a straightforward extraction. The clinic offers both a standard placement and, for suitable cases such as replacing a tooth at the time of removal, an immediate-placement option, each with a transparent published price. After a healing period the implant is uncovered if needed and an impression is taken for the crown, which is a separate prosthetic stage. Where bone or gum volume is insufficient, grafting or a sinus lift may be advised and is quoted individually after assessment. The dentist will explain the full multi-stage plan, the timeline and the total cost before starting, and ongoing implant checks help keep the result healthy long term.
