Is It Time to Fill That Gap? Here's Why You Might Just Love Dental Implants

Tooth loss is more common than most people think, but that doesn’t make it easier to live with. Whether you lost a tooth years ago playing sport, have a partial denture that never quite feels right, or are avoiding a tooth that’s on its way out, it can affect more than just your smile.

The good news? Dental implants are one of the most secure, natural-feeling options for replacing missing teeth. If you’ve been hesitating, now’s a great time to explore your options.

What Are Some of the Benefits?

Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are placed into the jawbone where they act like artificial roots. After healing, a custom crown or bridge is fitted on top, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

They don’t move or need adhesives, and don’t rely on surrounding teeth for support. You can eat, speak, and smile without worrying about movement. They also help keep your jawbone strong and maintain your facial shape over time.

Typical Questions We Often Get

“Will it hurt?”
Implant placement is done with an anaesthetic. Most people experience only mild soreness afterwards.

“How long will it take?”
The complete process typically takes three to six months, including healing time. Temporary options are often available in the meantime.

“Will it look natural?”
Yes. Each implant crown is shaped and colour-matched to your existing teeth. No one will know unless you tell them.

“Am I suitable?”
If you’re missing teeth and have good gum and bone health, or are open to grafting, you might be a great candidate.
