A dental implant is a titanium or zirconia post placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. A crown — matched to your natural teeth — is then attached on top. The result is indistinguishable from a natural tooth in both appearance and function. Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that occurs with dentures or bridges. Dentist & Dentist also offer basal implants for patients with lower bone density who are not candidates for traditional implants.
A CBCT scan and clinical exam assess your bone volume, identify the ideal implant position and confirm suitability.
The implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. The procedure typically takes 45–90 minutes.
Over 8–12 weeks, the implant fuses with your jawbone. A temporary restoration may be placed during this period.
Once integrated, a zirconia or porcelain crown is attached — colour matched, shaped and adjusted to your bite.
Patients with one or more missing teeth
Those with failing or fractured teeth that cannot be saved
Denture wearers seeking a permanent, secure alternative
Patients with sufficient bone density (or suitable for bone grafting)
The surgery is done under local anaesthetic — you will feel pressure, not pain. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and managed with standard pain relief.
Basal (or cortical) implants anchor into the cortical bone rather than the spongy bone, making them suitable for patients with bone loss who are not candidates for traditional implants. They can often be loaded immediately.
With proper care, dental implants last a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacing after 15–20 years.
Bone grafting or basal implants are options. Dr. Omar will assess which approach is most appropriate during your consultation.
Replace missing teeth with a solution that integrates with your jaw — functioning and appearing exactly like a natural tooth, for life.
