HOW IT WORKS

What is a single tooth implant?

A dental implant replaces the missing tooth root and supports a custom crown, creating a strong and natural-looking replacement.

Dental implant structure

Implant

A small titanium post placed into the jawbone that replaces the natural tooth root.

Abutment

A connector piece that attaches the implant to the final crown.

Custom Crown

A natural-looking ceramic crown designed to match your surrounding teeth.

WHY CHOOSE AN IMPLANT

A long-term solution for a missing tooth

Unlike traditional bridges, implants replace the tooth root and preserve the surrounding teeth.

Preserves healthy teeth

Adjacent teeth do not need to be filed down, unlike traditional bridges.

Natural appearance

The final crown is designed to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth.

Stable bite

Implants integrate with the jawbone to provide strong and stable chewing function.

Long-term solution

With proper care, dental implants can last for many years.
