What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are permanent tooth replacement options that feel, look and function like your natural teeth. They’re small titanium implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a stable base for an artificial tooth, bridge or implant supported dentures. Once healed, these titanium dental implants integrate with your bone, becoming a secure anchor for your new smile. Unlike removable dentures, implants don’t move or click, they stay in place. Dental implants are a popular solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring full function and beauty to your smile.A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is inserted in your jaw to hold a replacement tooth, bridge or denture in place. Implants are made from titanium metal and ceramic materials that are biocompatible with the body. They act as a solid foundation and anchor for replacement teeth and dentures.
With dental implants, you can:
- Improve your speech and appearance
- Eliminate pain and discomfort caused by dentures
- Restore your smile, confidence and esteem
- You can stick to your normal dietary choices
- Improve your oral health by reducing the chances of further tooth loss and ache
- Start enjoying your favorite foods again!
Benefits of Dental Implants
Choosing dental implants comes with many life changing benefits. They go beyond cosmetics and support your oral health, bone structure and daily comfort. With proper care, they can last for decades, making them a truly permanent solution. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, implants provide stability and confidence you can count on. At Smilestone Dental, we believe everyone deserves outstanding dental implants.
5 Key Benefits of Dental Implants:
- Look and Feel Like Natural Teeth
Implants are designed to match your natural tooth in shape and colour, blending in with your smile. Once healed, you won’t even notice the difference between your implant and your other teeth. You can eat, speak and smile confidently, just like before. - Preserve Bone Structure and Prevent Bone Loss
When you lose a tooth, your jawbone starts to shrink. Dental implants restore the stimulation that keeps your bone healthy and strong. This helps maintain your facial structure and avoid the sunken look caused by lost bone. - Long-Term and Cost Effective Solution
Although dental implants cost more upfront than traditional dentures, they can last a lifetime with good hygiene. You won’t need frequent adjustments or replacements. Many patients find them to be the most affordable dental implants option over time. - Protect Adjacent Teeth
Unlike bridges that rely on surrounding teeth, dental implants don’t affect adjacent teeth. This preserves more of your natural tooth structure and keeps your smile healthy. It’s a more conservative and tooth friendly solution for tooth replacement. - Restore Confidence and Improve Quality of Life
No more worrying about your removable denture slipping or clicking during conversations or meals. Implants are secure, natural and worry free. Many patients report feeling younger and more confident after dental implant treatment.

The Dental Implants Process at Smilestone Dental
At Smilestone Dental, our dental implant process is designed with your comfort and success in mind. Our experienced team uses modern dental technology and personalized treatment plans to make your experience smooth and stress free. Whether you need a single tooth implant or multiple tooth implants, we tailor every step to your unique needs. We also provide periodontal treatment, bone grafting and other preparatory treatments when needed. Your journey to a stronger, more confident smile starts here.Initial Consultation and Assessment
We begin by reviewing your medical history, examining your gum tissue and taking digital scans of your mouth. This helps us assess bone density and determine if you’ll require bone grafting or periodontal treatment. Our dental professionals will discuss your goals and explain the dental implant process in detail.
Treatment Plan and Preparation
If you’re a good candidate, we’ll create a custom treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include bone grafts if there is not enough bone to support the titanium implants. We’ll also address any issues like gum disease or tooth decay before proceeding.
Implant Placement
During the implant placement, we use local anesthesia to ensure you’re completely comfortable. The titanium dental implants are then placed in the jawbone where your missing tooth once was. Over time, the implant integrates with the bone, forming a strong base for the new tooth.
Healing and Osseointegration
After implant placement, the healing phase begins. This process, called osseointegration, can take several weeks to a few months as the bone grows around the implant. We monitor your progress closely and ensure everything is healing properly.
Final Crown
Once healing is complete, we place the custom made crown, bridge or implant supported dentures on the implant. This final crown is crafted to look and function just like your natural teeth. Your smile is now complete and ready to shine.
