What are dental implants?

A new root, a new tooth — fixed in place

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it integrates with the bone, it forms a sturdy foundation for a crown, bridge or denture.

Strong and stable — fixed in place and supported by the jawbone, unlike dentures.
Natural in appearance — closely mimics real teeth in look and feel.
Highly durable — with proper care, implants can last 15 years or more, often a lifetime.
Protects your jaw — supports jaw health and bone density where teeth are missing.

Precision technology

Guided implants: no guesswork, just precision

We plan every detail of your treatment with 3D imaging and digital scanning, then place your implant using a custom 3D-printed surgical guide — for safer, minimally invasive keyhole placement.

Ideal position, depth and angle mapped digitally before surgery begins — for stability and a natural look from day one.
Nerves and sinuses avoided — digital mapping shows sensitive anatomy clearly, reducing risk and improving comfort.
Less time in the chair — precise, minimally invasive placement means less trauma, less swelling and faster healing.
Better long-term success — accurate placement helps the implant integrate strongly with your bone for years to come.

Your implant journey

From first scan to final smile

Consultation & assessment

Detailed examination, digital X-rays and 3D Cone Beam CT imaging to assess your bone and suitability.

Digital planning

Advanced software plans the optimal implant position; a custom 3D-printed guide is made for your surgery.

Implant placement

Under local anaesthesia, the implant is gently guided into place via keyhole surgery — most patients report minimal discomfort.

Healing & integration

The implant integrates with your jawbone over several months; a temporary restoration can sometimes be worn meanwhile.

Final restoration

A custom crown, bridge or denture is attached for a beautiful, functional result — with follow-ups to keep it healthy.

Options for every smile

One tooth, several, or a full arch

Our dentists will assess your oral health and recommend the most suitable option for your needs.

Single-tooth implants

Replaces one missing tooth with a titanium implant and a ceramic crown — no impact on neighbouring teeth.

Implant-supported bridges

When multiple teeth are missing, two or more implants support a fixed bridge.

Implant-retained dentures

Full or partial dentures secured with implants for improved stability and comfort — no slipping.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, implants can last 15 years or more — often a lifetime. Brush and floss like natural teeth, and keep up routine check-ups.

Am I too old for implants?

Not at all. Many people get implants in their 60s or 70s. If your general and oral health is good, age isn't a problem.

Will my health fund cover implants?

Some private health funds offer partial cover. We'll help you check your policy and provide quotes for pre-approval.
