Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, a fixed, natural-looking solution that looks, feels and works just like a real tooth. Placed by our principal dentist Dr Jamshaid Mansoor, who has a special interest in implantology, your treatment is in expert, caring hands from start to finish.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that takes the place of a missing tooth root. It is gently placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over a few months to form a strong, lasting foundation.
A natural-looking crown is then fixed on top, giving you a complete tooth that looks, feels and works just like your own.
Unlike a bridge, an implant does not rely on the neighbouring teeth for support, so your healthy teeth are left untouched. It stands independently, just like a natural tooth.
Implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or even secure a full arch. Where many teeth are missing, full-arch options like All-on-4 and All-on-6 can restore a complete smile on just a few implants.
With good care, implants are designed to last for decades, and often a lifetime. The titanium post itself is extremely durable, and the crown on top can be renewed in the rare event it ever needs it.
Looking after an implant is simple: brush and floss as normal, and keep up your regular check-ups so we can keep an eye on it.
Implants are widely regarded as the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They are fixed in place, so there is nothing to take out, and they let you eat, speak and smile with complete confidence.
They also protect your jawbone, which can shrink when a tooth is lost, helping maintain the shape of your face over time.
Thinking about implants? Book a consultation with Dr Jam and we will assess your suitability, explain everything clearly, and give you honest advice, with no pressure.
Calm, careful careA dental implant is made of three parts that work together to recreate a whole tooth, from the root up. Here is how each one plays its role.
The visible part: a custom-made, natural-looking tooth, shade-matched to blend in seamlessly with your smile. This is the part everyone sees.

01Because an implant replaces the whole tooth, root and all, it looks, feels and works just like your own. Most people forget which tooth is the implant.
02With good care, implants are designed to last for decades, often a lifetime. They are the most durable, long-term way to replace a missing tooth.
03Unlike a bridge, an implant stands on its own without grinding down the teeth either side, so your healthy teeth stay untouched.
04The implant stimulates the jawbone just as a natural root would, helping prevent the bone loss that follows a missing tooth and supporting your facial shape.
05Fixed firmly in place, implants let you bite and chew exactly as you would with natural teeth, with nothing to slip or take out.
06Implants can replace one tooth, several, or a whole arch. For many missing teeth, All-on-4 and All-on-6 restore a full smile on just a few implants.

Explore All-on-6 ›An implant is wonderfully low-maintenance: you care for it just like a natural tooth. A few simple habits keep it, and the gum and bone around it, healthy for the long term.
Care for your implant exactly as you would a natural tooth: two minutes morning and night with a soft brush, and floss once a day. Keeping the area clean is the key to a healthy, long-lasting implant.
Healthy gums keep your implant secure. Flossing or using interdental brushes around it daily keeps the gum line clean and helps prevent any inflammation that could affect the implant over time.
Smoking can affect how well an implant heals and lasts, as it reduces blood flow to the gums. Cutting back, especially around the time of treatment, gives your implant the best possible start.
If you grind or clench your teeth in your sleep, that can put extra strain on your implant. A simple night guard protects it and your natural teeth, and we can make one tailored to you.
Seeing us regularly lets us monitor your implant and the bone and gum around it, catching anything early. A hygiene visit also keeps the area beautifully clean and the implant healthy for years.
