Dental Implants
Single Dental Implant
Losing a tooth—whether due to an accident, disease, or other reasons—can alter how you enjoy daily activities like eating and speaking. A single-tooth implant is a comprehensive solution that replaces your missing tooth without disturbing neighboring teeth.
Why Consider a Single Dental Implant?
A single-tooth implant might be the right choice, if:
- You have one missing tooth that needs replacement.
- You’re looking for a durable alternative to bridges or dentures.
- You want to preserve your jawbone and maintain facial structure.
- You desire a solution that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Procedure
The procedure begins with a comprehensive oral health assessment and along with detail radiographic assessment to determine whether you need new tooth implant. This includes discussing your medical history and any specific needs or concerns you might have.
The process involves several key steps:
- The titanium screw is precisely placed into your jawbone, under local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort. This serves as the new root for your tooth.
- The single dental implant requires a few months to integrate with your jawbone, creating a strong foundation for the new tooth.
- Once the implant has bonded with the bone, an abutment is attached to serve as a base for your new crown. The crown is then fitted, matching the colour and shape of your natural teeth to complete your smile.
- Throughout this process, We focus on making your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible, ensuring you’re well-informed and at ease at every step.

Multiple Dental Implants
Losing more than one tooth can lead to further dental issues and affect facial structure. Multiple dental implants restore these gaps with individual titanium posts anchored securely in the jaw, each crowned with a lifelike prosthesis. This option improves aesthetics and helps fill in those gaps with teeth that look and feel real so you can smile, talk, and eat like you used to.
Why Might You Need Multiple Teeth Implants?
- If you’re missing more than one tooth, they’re not all in the same spot.
- If you don’t like having a denture or a bridge.
- If you want to stop your jawbone from weakening where the teeth are missing.
- If you’re looking for something that feels like your own teeth.
Procedure
First Step: We will check your mouth and teeth to ensure that implants fit you well. We will then discuss your health and any worries you might have.
Putting Them In: We put these tiny metal posts (the implants) into your jawbone where your teeth are missing. Don’t worry; We make sure you’re comfortable and can’t feel anything during this part.
Healing Time: Your jaw and the implants need time to get used to each other. This process can take a few months, but it ensures the implants are strong and ready for the new teeth.
Adding the New Teeth: After everything’s healed, we attach little bits called abutments to the implants. These hold your new teeth. Then, we put on the new teeth that match your other teeth so everything looks natural.
If you’re troubled by gaps from missing teeth and are considering a comprehensive solution like multiple dental implants or full teeth replacement, let’s talk.
Implant Secured Dentures
Traditional dentures can slip, causing discomfort and embarrassment. Implant-secured dentures offer a stable, secure fit by anchoring your denture plate to implants placed within the jawbone. This procedure offers the confidence to eat, laugh, and talk without worry.
Why Might You Need Implant-Secured Dentures?
- If you’ve struggled with loose dentures and want something that stays, put.
- If you’re after a solution that feels more natural and lets you enjoy your favorite foods.
- If you’re keen to boost how you feel about your smile and lift your confidence.
Procedure
- We place small titanium screws, much like roots, into the jaw. They’re the foundation for your new secure dentures.
- Number of Implants: Depending on your specific needs, you might need 2 to 4 implants for each denture. It’s all done with care and under local anaesthetic, so you’re comfortable throughout.
- Healing and Bonding: The implants and your jaw need time to get acquainted. This bonding process takes 3 to 6 months, ensuring a solid base for your dentures.
- Temporary Teeth: While you’re healing, we will fit immediate dentures, so you’ll always have a smile.
- Final Touches: Once healed, we attach abutments to the implants. These little connectors hold your dentures firmly in place. They come in different materials, and I’ll help you choose the best one for your look.
- Your New Dentures: Then, it’s time for your new dentures. We make sure they match your natural teeth, so your smile is seamless.
Benefits for You
- Enjoy eating again with stable dentures that don’t move around.
- Say goodbye to those awkward moments when dentures slip.
- Support your facial structure, giving you a fuller, more youthful appearance.
- Forget about messy adhesives; these dentures stay put on their own.
- Easy to remove for cleaning, keeping your mouth fresh and healthy.
All on 6 Impacts
All-on-6 dental implants take the concept of full-mouth restoration a step further, providing even greater stability and support for your new teeth. Like the All-on-4 method, this technique uses implants to secure a full arch of teeth, but with two additional implants for enhanced strength. This can be particularly beneficial for those needing extra support due to bone density or for a more demanding bite force.
All-on-4 or All-on-6?
While All-on-4 is a fantastic solution for many, All-on-6 offers increased stability, which can be crucial for certain cases. The two extra implants help distribute the force more evenly when you bite, potentially offering a longer-lasting solution and reducing the chance of implant failure.
Why Consider All-on-6?
- If you have a higher bite force or need extra support for your new teeth.
- For improved distribution of bite pressure, reducing stress on individual implants.
- If you’re looking for a solution offering even better longevity and resilience.
- It is ideal for those with sufficient jawbone structure to support the additional implants.
The All-on-6 Process
- Detailed Assessment: We begin with a comprehensive evaluation and detail radiographic assessment to determine if All-on-6 suits you, considering your jawbone’s health and specific needs
- Precise Implant Placement: Six implants are strategically placed in jaw areas with the best bone quality, ensuring a secure foundation for the new teeth.
- Immediate Transformation: Often, we may attach a temporary set of teeth on the same day, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of your new smile immediately.
- Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implants integrate with your jawbone, creating a robust base for your permanent teeth.
- Final Smile Restoration: Once integration is complete, we attach your permanent, custom-made teeth, designed to match your natural teeth and enhance your smile.
