What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small screw which is very carefully inserted into a patient’s jaw, to allow connection to an artificial tooth/denture.
The vast majority of dental implants are metal (titanium) which is a similar technology to artificial hips and knees. Other materials can be used to manufacture dental implants, but these are rare and less well proven.
In essence, a dental implant is inserted carefully into the patient’s jaw and generally allowed to heal. Once the area has healed properly the clinician can attach a crown (a single tooth), a bridge (multiple teeth) or attachments for a denture which can include either a press stud, a custom constructed bar or even magnets in specific cases.
The dental implant itself remains under the gum and the piece that the patient sees is the artificial tooth/denture that is constructed. Generally, between an implant and a crown there is a specific and often custom constructed device called an abutment which connects the two together.

- Prevents Bone Loss: Unlike removable dentures that may lead to bone loss in the area of the missing tooth, dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing further shrinkage.

- Supports a Stable Bite: Implants provide a strong base for dental restorations, aiding in the maintenance of a stable bite and preventing the shifting of nearby teeth.

Our Exquisite Clinic
Dental implants for tooth replacement available at our clininc inlcude:
- Single dental implant: Replaces a missing tooth using one implant and a crown.
- All-On-4: Uses four implants strategically placed in the jaw bone to support an entire arch of teeth.
- All-On-6: Similar to All-on-Four, but utilizes six implants for additional stability and support.
Each method presents a unique strategy for tooth implant placement and restoration, tailored to meet specific needs and cases of tooth loss. Implants may be referred to by various names, but standard implants are typically utilized in these procedures.
Mini dental implants are a narrower alternative to standard dental implants. They are designed to offer a less invasive and more budget-friendly option for certain tooth replacement scenarios
In our collaborative decision-making process, we will explore the available options together and determine the best choice for your dental implants.
- Dental Implants: Dental implants are permanent solutions designed to replicate natural tooth roots that provide stable support for replacement teeth. With artificial roots implanted surgically into your jawbone, implants create the closest replication of natural tooth appearance and function possible – perfect for permanent solutions!
- Dental Bridges: Dental bridges fill are a fixed option where the artificial teeth ate attached to the neighboring natural teeth. Unfortunately, they involve grinding down of the adjacent healthy teeth.
- Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are removable appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. They consist of a framework with artificial teeth that attach to the natural teeth using metal clasps or precision attachments. A denture MUST always be taken out for cleaning and while sleeping.
Full-arch dental implants, also known as all-on implants or implant-supported dentures, are a comprehensive tooth replacement solution for individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth in one or both jaws. It involves the placement of a complete set of dental implants to support a fixed prosthesis that replaces all the missing teeth in the arch.
Here are some typical inclusions in full-mouth dental implant packages.
- Consultation and Examination: Initial evaluation of your oral health and discussion of treatment options.
- Imaging and Treatment Planning: X-rays, CT scans, or 3D imaging to assess your jawbone and plan the implant placement.
- Dental Implant Surgery: Placement of dental implants in the jawbone, typically under local anaesthesia or sedation.
- Temporary Restorations: Provision of temporary teeth or dentures during the healing phase.
- Final Restorations: Fabrication and placement of permanent dental crowns, bridges, or complete arch dentures.
- Medications: Prescription medications to manage pain, prevent infection, and aid in the healing process.
- Follow-up Appointments: Post-operative visits to monitor healing and ensure the long-term success of the implants.
