Dental Implants in Nolan Hill

An implant is placed surgically in the jaw bone to support a replacement tooth or teeth. For a single missing tooth, an implant crown forms the visible replacement. Treatment involves planning, implant placement, healing and restoration; the sequence and timing vary.

Your dentist considers your oral health, bone support, medical history and factors that may affect healing. Some patients need additional treatment before implant care can proceed. Implants are not suitable for everyone, and success cannot be guaranteed.

A bridge or denture may also be an option. Ask how each approach would affect the teeth beside the gap, daily care and future maintenance.

Healing may take months. Ask about the stages expected in your case and what happens between appointments. Implants and their restorations require regular care and professional monitoring; they are not maintenance-free.
