Dental implants are a long-term tooth replacement option designed to replace missing teeth while restoring both appearance and chewing function.
A dental implant consists of a small implant fixture that is placed into the jawbone and acts as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has integrated with the surrounding bone and the tissues have healed appropriately, it can support a customised dental crown, bridge, or other restoration.
At Purely Dental, implant treatment begins with a detailed assessment of your oral health, jawbone condition, gums, bite, and overall treatment requirements. In selected cases, additional procedures such as bone augmentation may be considered if there is insufficient supporting bone.
Unlike removable dentures, implants are designed to provide a fixed tooth-replacement solution. Proper planning, good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and appropriate maintenance are important for the long-term success of implant treatment.
