A permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement
An implant replaces the whole tooth — root and all — rather than just the visible part. It's the closest thing to getting a real tooth back.
How a dental implant works
An implant replaces a tooth from the root up, not just the visible crown. A titanium post is placed into the jawbone where the natural root used to be, and over a period of weeks it fuses with the bone itself — a process called osseointegration. Once that foundation is solid, a custom crown or full prosthetic arch is attached on top, built to function and look like natural teeth.
Single tooth implants and All-on-4
If you're missing one tooth, a single tooth implant replaces it with an implant and crown. If you're missing most or all of the teeth in an arch — or wearing a denture you've had enough of — All-on-4 dental implants fix a full set of teeth onto just four implants, often with temporary teeth fitted on the same day. Our All-on-4 patient guide walks through the process step by step.
Implants are made from chemically pure titanium, chosen for its biocompatibility and strength, with a specialised surface treatment to help the bone integrate properly. Looking after the healing implant matters just as much as the surgery itself — avoiding infection, excess biting force, and tobacco use all protect the integration process.
