Dental implants
A dental implant is an artificial root placed in the jaw to support a replacement tooth. Planning starts with your oral health, bone support and the alternatives for the gap.

Ask about this treatment ↗Is an implant right for you?
Missing teeth can affect chewing and how a smile feels. An implant may support a crown, bridge or denture, but suitability depends on a dental examination and your overall health.
What the assessment covers
- The condition of your gums and jawbone.
- Your medical history, medicines and healing factors.
- Alternatives such as a bridge or removable denture.
What treatment may involve
- Examination and appropriate imaging to plan the position and replacement tooth.
- Implant placement if suitable, followed by a healing period.
- Fitting the planned restoration and arranging ongoing cleaning and reviews.
The number of visits, healing time and need for additional procedures vary. The dentist will explain the proposed plan, possible risks and costs before treatment.
Are implants suitable for children?+
Implant planning generally waits until jaw growth is complete. For a growing child with a missing tooth, ask about options that suit their stage of development.
