Dental Implants
Dental implants can support a crown, bridge or denture when one or more teeth are missing. Planning begins with an examination and appropriate imaging because the most suitable option depends on oral health, available support and individual priorities.
Before treatment
Suitability is determined after an examination and any appropriate diagnostic records.
When might this treatment be considered?
These examples are general and cannot diagnose the cause of a concern.
- One tooth is missing and an implant-supported crown may be suitable.
- Several teeth are missing and a fixed or removable implant-supported option is being explored.
- A complete denture needs additional support, subject to assessment.
- A patient wants to compare implant treatment with bridges or removable dentures.
Treatment options
The most appropriate option depends on clinical findings, priorities and informed discussion.
Multiple-tooth replacement
A planned number of implants may support replacement teeth when several teeth are missing.
Conventional two-stage treatment
Implant placement and the final replacement tooth are completed in planned stages, allowing time for healing and review.
Immediate-loading approach
A temporary tooth may sometimes be connected earlier, but this is not suitable for every site or patient.
Implant-supported dentures
Implants may help retain a removable denture when the mouth and supporting structures are suitable.

Potential benefits and important considerations
Potential benefits
- May provide a fixed or better-supported replacement for missing teeth.
- Can help restore chewing function and the appearance of a gap.
- Allows single- and multiple-tooth options to be considered.

- Additional procedures may sometimes be required; these must be assessed and discussed individually.
- No implant treatment can be presented as permanent or guaranteed.
Recovery or adaptation

- Follow the personalised cleaning instructions for the implant, restoration and surrounding gums.
