Dental implants can support replacement teeth when natural teeth are missing. An implant is placed in the jawbone and can support a crown, bridge or denture. The right option depends on your oral health and treatment goals.
Assessment and treatment stages
Your dentist examines your mouth, reviews your medical history and medicines, and uses appropriate imaging to plan treatment. Bone quantity and gum health matter. Bone grafting may be required, and healing time varies between patients.
Risks and suitability
Implant treatment is surgery. Infection, bleeding, discomfort and failure to integrate with the bone are possible. Smoking and gum disease can affect the outcome. Implants are not suitable for everyone; medical conditions and medicines should be discussed individually with your dentist. Do not stop prescribed medication without advice from your treating clinician.
Care after treatment
Follow the care instructions provided for your procedure and attend the recommended reviews. Long-term cleaning and maintenance are essential. An implant is not a guaranteed lifetime replacement.
