Single tooth implants, implant-supported bridges and All-on-4 full mouth implants — planned with 3D imaging and placed by a dedicated implant specialist at The Golden Tooth.
A simple, honest explanation of how a dental implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up.
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Over the following months, the bone naturally fuses with the titanium — a process called osseointegration — creating a stable, permanent foundation.
Once healing is confirmed, we attach an abutment and a custom-shaded crown on top, giving you a replacement tooth that looks, feels and bites just like your own — without touching the healthy teeth next to it.
Unlike a bridge or a removable denture, an implant actively preserves your jawbone, preventing the sunken, aged appearance that often follows long-term tooth loss.
Custom-shaded crowns matched precisely to your existing teeth.
Implants stimulate bone the way a natural root does, preventing bone loss.
Unlike a bridge, healthy adjacent teeth are never filed down.
15 to 25+ years with proper care — the most durable tooth replacement option.
Eat what you like, without the slipping or shifting of a removable denture.
Every implant is planned using 3D scans for exact, minimally invasive placement.
Replaces one missing tooth with an independent implant and crown — no impact on the teeth beside it.
Two or more implants anchor a bridge that replaces several missing teeth in a row.
A full arch of 10-14 teeth fixed on just four to six implants — often completed in a single visit. Read more →
A removable denture that clips securely onto implants — far more stable than a conventional denture.
We assess your oral health, take a 3D scan to check bone density, and plan the exact implant position.
The titanium implant is placed under local anaesthesia — most patients feel pressure rather than pain.
Over 3-6 months, the implant fuses naturally with your jawbone to form a permanent, stable base.
A small connector is attached to the implant once healing is confirmed at your follow-up visit.
A crown, custom-shaded to match your smile, is fitted — completing your new, permanent tooth.
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain during placement. Mild soreness for a few days afterward is normal and managed easily with prescribed medication.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants commonly last 15 to 25 years or longer, making them the most durable tooth replacement option available.
Cost depends on the number of implants, whether a bone graft is needed, and the crown material chosen. A precise quote is only possible after a consultation and 3D scan. See our cost guide for a full breakdown.
Most patients return to normal activity within a few days. Full fusion of the implant with the jawbone (osseointegration) takes about three to six months before the final crown is fitted.
There is no upper age limit for dental implants — what matters is bone density and overall health, both assessed during your consultation.
A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth. All-on-4 anchors a full arch of 10-14 replacement teeth on just four implants, designed for patients missing most or all of their teeth.
