Anatomy

Strong whereyou can’t see it

A dental implant replaces the missing root beneath your tooth.

Once it naturally integrates with your jawbone it provides a secure foundation for a replacement tooth designed to look, feel and function naturally.

  • Labelled cross section of a dental implant showing the crown, abutment, implant and surrounding bone

    How it fits together

    Crown, abutment, implant and bone. Only the crown is ever visible.

  • Close up of an implant crown sitting between natural teeth

    Crown

    The only part you’ll ever see. Individually crafted from tooth-coloured materials, your crown is carefully shaped and shaded to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, so no one will know it isn’t original.

  • Close up of an implant abutment at the gum line

    Abutment

    The precise connection between root and crown. This small, precisely engineered component joins your new tooth securely to the implant below, holding everything in alignment and giving shape to the essential soft tissue seal.

  • A dental implant shown beside a pound coin for scale

    Implant

    The foundation of it all. Made from medical-grade titanium, a material trusted in medicine for decades, the implant replaces your missing root, securely anchoring your new tooth exactly where nature intended.

  • Cross section showing a dental implant integrated into the jawbone

    Bone

    Strength you’ll never see but will always feel. Over a surprisingly short period of time your jawbone naturally bonds with the implant surface, creating a stable, lasting foundation that lets you eat, speak and smile with complete confidence.

Why timing matters

Bone loss affects ridge width more than ridge height. A narrower ridge can make implant placement more complex and may require additional treatment. That is why the sooner we look, the more straightforward your options tend to be.

Your team

You’re neveron this journey alone

Choosing implant treatment is a long-term decision.

From your first conversation you’ll be supported by an experienced team whose shared goal is helping you feel informed, comfortable and confident.

  • Straightforward

    A simple, single-implant journey

    For many people, treatment is refreshingly uncomplicated. Where the foundation is healthy, a single implant may be all that’s required, creating a beautifully simple treatment journey.

    A single implant, abutment and crown, carefully designed to restore your smile.

  • Advanced

    Where a little more is needed

    Some smiles need a little more. Where additional planning or preparatory steps are involved, this capability provides the extra expertise and care required to achieve a strong, lasting result.

    Cases involving bone grafting, a sinus lift, two or three implants supporting a bridge, or soft tissue grafting are examples.

Your options

How an implantcompares

An implant is one of three ways to replace a missing tooth. Your dentist will explain all of them and why one may suit you better than another.

  • Illustration of a dental bridge spanning a gap between two teeth
    BridgeSupported by the teeth either side, which usually need to be reshaped to carry it.
  • Illustration of a removable partial denture in the lower jaw
    DentureRemovable and non-surgical, resting on the gum and clasped to the remaining teeth.
  • Illustration of an implant supported crown replacing a single missing tooth
    ImplantReplaces the root as well as the tooth, standing on its own without altering neighbouring teeth.

Suitability is confirmed at your assessment. If another option would be more appropriate for you, we will explain why.
