What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that serves as an artificial tooth root. It gets placed into the jawbone where the missing tooth was located. Over time, it naturally bonds with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong base for a custom crown.
How It Works
-
Tooth Removal (if required): If your tooth hasn’t already been removed, it will be gently extracted.
-
Implant placement: A dental practitioner with further training in implant surgery, will place the titanimun implant safely into the jawbone.
-
Healing Period: Over the next three months, your body will naturally integrate with the implant, locking it securely into place.
-
Crown Placement: Once healing is confirmed, you return to Quality Dental Care, where we’ll place a custom crown on top of the implant to restore the look and function of the tooth.

Is an Implant Right for You?
A detailed assessment, including scans or X-rays, is done to check bone density and suitability. In some cases, bone grafting might be recommended. Specialists handle the surgical stage, while the final restoration occurs in the clinic for consistent and precise care.
We work closely with implant specialists for the surgical component, and manage the final restoration in our practice—ensuring precision, continuity of care, and beautiful results.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution. With good oral hygiene
and regular dental visits, they can last 20 years or more, and often a lifetime.
2. Is the implant procedure painful?
Implant placement is done under local anaesthetic, and most patients report
minimal discomfort—less than what’s typically experienced after a tooth
extraction.
3. What’s the difference between an implant and a bridge?
A bridge relies on adjacent teeth for support, which may require them to be
filed down. A dental implant stands independently, preserving the health of
nearby teeth.
4. What does “All-on-X” mean?
All-on-X” refers to the technique of securing an entire arch of teeth (top or
bottom) using as few as four strategically placed implants. The “X” represents
the number of implants used, typically four to six.
5. Can anyone get implants?
Most healthy adults are suitable candidates. We’ll assess your oral health, bone
structure, and medical history to determine whether implants are right for you.
6. Are dental implants more expensive than other options?
Implants may have a higher upfront cost, but they are also longer-lasting and
require fewer replacements than other options—making them a cost-effective
choice over time.
