About this treatment
A dental implant is a small post placed in the jawbone that acts as the root for a replacement tooth (crown), bridge or denture.
Not everyone is suitable for implants straight away. Bone levels, gum health and general health are assessed first, and your dentist will talk you through the options and timeline.
When to see a dentist
- One or more missing teeth
- Loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Difficulty chewing on one side
Every mouth is different. This page is general information and not a diagnosis — your dentist will advise you after an examination.
