Dental implants are a popular, long-lasting way to replace a missing tooth.
How it works
A titanium post is placed into the jawbone, then a crown is fitted on top.
What to expect
- Consultation: your dentist checks your bone density and treatment plan.
- Surgery: the post is placed under local anaesthetic.
- Recovery: most people return to normal activities within a few days.
Recovery time varies, but most patients heal well with basic aftercare.
