Dental implants replace the root of a missing tooth with a small, biocompatible post. Because the body needs time to integrate that post, treatment unfolds in considered stages.
Stage one — planning and imaging
3D imaging maps the bone and surrounding structures, allowing placement to be planned precisely. Suitability depends on bone volume and gum health, assessed individually.
Stage two — placement
The implant is placed under local anaesthetic. Most people describe the experience as more straightforward than they expected, with manageable aftercare.
Stage three — integration
Over a healing period, the implant integrates with the bone. This phase is what gives implants their long-term stability — and it is why treatment is often split across two trips.
Stage four — the final restoration
Once integration is confirmed, a custom crown, bridge or denture is fitted. This is the visible, functional finish to the process.
- Function restored without altering neighbouring teeth
- Helps preserve jawbone structure
- A long-term solution when well maintained

Dental Implants
Implants replace missing tooth roots with a biocompatible post that supports a crown, bridge or denture — a stable, standalone solution.
Dental Crowns
A crown covers and protects a damaged or heavily treated tooth, restoring its shape, strength and appearance.
Dental Bridges
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement to adjacent teeth or implants.
