Treatment guide
Dental Implants
Dental implants are placed in the jaw and can support replacement teeth.
Who might consider an implant
An implant may be considered after tooth loss. A dentist assesses the jaw, gums, and medical history before discussing options.
Treatment steps
Assessment comes first. If suitable, the implant is placed, allowed to heal, and later fitted with a replacement tooth.
Risks and precautions
Possible complications include infection, injury to nearby structures, and implant failure. Ask a qualified dentist how your health history affects these risks.
Common questions
Can everyone have an implant?
Suitability depends on the examination and your overall health.
