Why replacing a missing tooth matters?

Nothing fully replaces a natural tooth — but a well-planned dental implant can come remarkably close.

Teeth are designed to work together. When a tooth is lost and not replaced, neighbouring teeth can tilt or drift into the gap, and teeth in the opposite jaw may shift as well. Over time this can affect your bite and place added stress on the teeth and jaw joints.

Bone in the area of a missing tooth can also gradually shrink. Replacing a missing tooth helps maintain your bite, your remaining teeth and your facial structure. People may consider implants for several reasons:

  • You are not comfortable with the appearance of a gap when you smile
  • Missing teeth are affecting how you speak
  • A missing back tooth is making it harder to chew
  • Neighbouring teeth have started to shift
  • Your current dentures feel loose or uncomfortable
  • You would prefer not to reshape healthy teeth for a bridge

The basics

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small posts, usually made of biocompatible titanium, placed in the upper or lower jaw to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once healed, they become stable anchors for one or more replacement teeth.

Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or to support a full set of teeth. The right approach is confirmed after a clinical assessment and 3D imaging.

Why people choose implants

Comfortable chewing

Fixed support can make it easier to eat a wider range of foods.

Facial structure

They can help support facial structure that may look drawn after tooth loss.

Bone preservation

Implants may help reduce ongoing bone loss in the jaw.

A natural-looking result

Replacement teeth are designed to look and function like your own.
— Treatment options —

From a single tooth to a full arch

Implants can be tailored to how many teeth are missing and the result you are after. These are the most common options.
01.
Single
Single tooth implant
Replaces one missing tooth as a stand-alone unit, without reshaping the neighbouring teeth.

02.

Several
Implant-supported bridge
Several missing teeth in a row replaced with a bridge that is held securely by implants.

03.

Denture
Implant-supported denture
Implants add stability to a removable denture, which can make eating and speaking more comfortable.

04.

Full arch
Full-arch All-on-X
A full arch of fixed teeth supported by four or more implants (All-on-4® / All-on-X).
The most suitable option depends on your jawbone, your remaining teeth and your goals — confirmed after a clinical assessment and 3D imaging.

Suitability

Who may be suitable?

Many people missing one, several or all of their teeth may be suitable for implants. Suitability is always confirmed after a clinical assessment, and some people may benefit from preparatory treatment such as a bone graft first.
This is a general guide only and is not a diagnosis. A consultation is needed before any treatment options can be confirmed.

Good general health

Your overall health supports a surgical procedure and healing.

Enough jawbone

Enough bone to support an implant, or suitability for a bone graft.

Healthy daily oral care

A consistent daily routine of brushing and cleaning between teeth.

Not smoking

Not smoking or using tobacco supports healing and long-term success.

Regular dental visits

Ongoing check-ups help maintain the health of the implant.
