What it involves

A dental implant is a small post, usually made of titanium, placed in the jawbone to hold a replacement tooth, bridge or denture. A crown or other restoration is attached after the implant has bonded with the bone. It is a surgical treatment carried out by a dentist or oral surgeon with the right training.

Who it is for

Implants are an option for people who have lost one or several teeth and have enough healthy bone and gum. Other health conditions, smoking and gum disease can affect suitability, so a dentist will assess you and explain alternatives such as bridges and dentures.

How long it usually takes

Implant treatment is not a single visit. Planning, surgery, a healing period and fitting the final tooth happen over several appointments across months. Your dentist can give a likely schedule for your case.

What to expect

The dentist takes X-rays or scans and plans the position of the implant. Surgery is carried out under local anaesthetic, sometimes with sedation. You return for checks, and later for the crown or denture. Cleaning around the implant matters as much as for natural teeth.

Aftercare

Follow the written instructions after surgery, which usually involve soft foods, careful cleaning and avoiding smoking. Attend all reviews. Contact the dentist if the area becomes swollen, painful, loose or bleeds more than expected.

When to seek it

Ask about implants if you are missing teeth and want to know whether a fixed replacement is possible. See your dentist promptly if an existing implant feels loose or sore.

What affects the cost

Cost depends on the number of implants, any bone or gum grafting, scans, the type of restoration, the materials and whether a specialist treats you. HealthNaro shows a price only where a clinic has supplied a figure with a source and date.
