Dental implants

How an implant works

An implant is a substitute for a natural tooth root, usually screw or cylinder shaped. It is placed into a carefully prepared socket at the exact position of the missing tooth, and occasionally on the same day the tooth is removed.

Built to last

The aim is close contact with the surrounding bone from day one. That initial stability strengthens over time as the bone bonds with the implant’s surface.

Supporting your new teeth

Once settled, the implant provides a foundation for long-term support of crowns, bridges or dentures. Our Principal Dentist, Jin Singh, holds a Diploma in Implant Dentistry from the University of Gothenburg.

Implants can support

• Single crowns

  Replace one missing tooth without affecting the teeth either side.

• Bridges

  Replace several teeth in a row on a secure, fixed foundation.

• Dentures

  Implant-retained dentures that stay firmly in place.
