What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium fixtures surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants integrate directly with the bone through a process called osseointegration, providing a stable and long-lasting foundation for replacement crowns or dentures.
Key Components of Dental Implants:
- Titanium Fixture: Acts as the artificial root, securing the implant in the jawbone.
- Abutment: Connects the fixture to the replacement tooth.
- Crown or Denture: The visible part that resembles a natural tooth.
At Dental on King, we use biocompatible titanium implants to ensure seamless integration with your jawbone, supporting both single and multiple tooth replacements.
Missing teeth can impact more than just your appearance. They can make chewing and brushing more difficult, increasing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Additionally, the absence of a tooth can cause adjacent teeth to shift, leading to a crooked smile. Dental implants offer a superior solution by:
- Supporting Bone Growth: Unlike dentures or bridges, implants help maintain and stimulate new bone growth in your jaw.
- Preventing Tooth Shifting: By filling the gap, implants prevent adjacent teeth from moving out of place.
- Enhancing Oral Health: Improved stability makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
- Providing a Natural Appearance: Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, enhancing your overall smile.
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Our dentists will assess your oral health, bone density, and overall suitability for dental implants.
- Personalised Treatment Plan: We discuss your aesthetic goals and create a customised plan tailored to your needs.
If the damaged tooth is still present, it will be carefully extracted to prepare the site for the implant.
For patients with insufficient bone density, a bone grafting procedure may be necessary to provide a stable foundation for the implant. This extends the recovery period but ensures optimal implant stability.
- Surgical Procedure: The titanium fixture is surgically placed into the upper or lower jawbone.
- Healing Period: It takes up to 3 months for the jawbone to heal and bond permanently with the implant, securing it in place.
Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant, serving as the connector for the replacement crown or denture.
A custom-made crown or denture is fitted over the abutment, completing the restoration and providing a natural-looking and functional tooth replacement.

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root portion of missing teeth. They serve as a stable foundation for attaching crowns, bridges, or dentures, providing a permanent solution for tooth loss.
You may consider a dental implant if you have:
- Missing teeth due to injury, decay, or extraction
- Difficulty eating or speaking because of missing teeth
- Gaps in your smile affecting your appearance
- Worn-down or weakened teeth that need reinforcement
- Desire for a permanent tooth replacement over removable dentures
Yes, dental implants are safe and highly effective when performed by a qualified dental professional. Titanium implants are biocompatible, allowing them to integrate seamlessly with the jawbone through osseointegration.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last 20 years or more. Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, lifestyle habits, and the quality of the implant and restoration.
The dental implant procedure typically involves multiple stages:
- Initial Consultation: Assessment of oral health and planning of the implant placement.
- Surgical Placement: Insertion of the titanium post into the jawbone.
- Osseointegration: A healing period where the implant fuses with the bone.
- Abutment Placement: Attachment of a connector to the implant post.
Crown Placement: Placement of the artificial tooth on the abutment.
While dental implants primarily address missing teeth, they can contribute to overall smile symmetry and alignment. However, for significant orthodontic issues, treatments like braces or Invisalign may be recommended in conjunction with implants.
Caring for your dental implants involves:
- Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene: Regular brushing and flossing to prevent plaque buildup.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Routine visits to monitor implant health.
- Avoiding Hard Foods: Refrain from biting on hard objects to prevent damage.
- Avoiding Tobacco: Smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of implant failure.
Yes, alternatives to dental implants include:
- Dental Bridges: Using adjacent teeth as anchors to support a prosthetic tooth.
- Dentures: Removable appliances replacing multiple missing teeth.
- Partial Dentures: Removable replacements for a few missing teeth.
Your dentist can help you determine the best option based on your specific needs and preferences.
While dental implants do not require special aftercare beyond maintaining good oral hygiene, it’s essential to follow your dentist’s instructions. This includes attending regular check-ups and avoiding habits that can damage the implants.
Properly placed and fitted dental implants should not adversely affect your bite. During the procedure, your dentist ensures that the implants align correctly with your natural bite, maintaining proper function and comfort. If you experience any bite issues, consult your dentist for adjustments.
