What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Over time, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration—creating a stable, permanent foundation for a custom restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture.


Unlike removable options, dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. You eat, speak, and smile without thinking about them—and they help preserve the jawbone by providing the same stimulation that natural tooth roots once did.


At Planet Dental, we take a personalized, precision-focused approach to every implant case—from your initial assessment through to the final restoration. 

Implant options we offer

Single tooth implant

A single implant is ideal for replacing one missing tooth. The titanium post replaces the tooth's root, and a custom crown is secured on top—blending seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

  • Preserves bone density in the gap area
  • Prevents neighbouring teeth from shifting
  • Restores natural function and aesthetics
  • Long-term alternative to bridges—no
    adjacent teeth altered

Implant-supported bridge

For patients missing several adjacent teeth, an implant-supported bridge replaces multiple teeth without using your natural teeth as anchors. Implants placed at either end of the gap support the bridge, leaving healthy neighbouring teeth completely untouched

  • Stable, fixed, non-removable restoration
  • Preserves jawbone and facial structure
  • More durable than tooth-supported bridges

All-on-X fixed full arch

For patients missing all or most teeth in an arch, All-on-X uses 4–6 strategically placed implants to support a full set of fixed, non-removable teeth. This is the most complete and permanent solution for full-arch tooth loss.

  • Permanent teeth that look and function like natural ones
  • Full bite force restored
  • Prevents bone loss across the entire jaw
  • Same-day provisional teeth available for eligible patients

Implant-supported snap-on dentures

Snap-on dentures combine the stability of implants with the convenience of a removable restoration. Two to four implants are placed in the jaw, and a custom denture snaps securely onto them—eliminating the slipping and discomfort of traditional dentures.

  • Eliminates denture movement and rubbing:
  • Removable for cleaning:
  • More affordable than full fixed implant bridges

Additional implant-related procedures

Bone grafting

When the jawbone is too thin or lacking in volume to support an implant, bone grafting builds up the necessary foundation. At Planet Dental, we offer autograft (from your own body), allograft (certified donor bone), and xenograft (bovine-derived) options—selected based on what’s most appropriate for your anatomy and treatment goals.

Sinus lift

In the upper jaw, the sinus cavity can limit the bone height available for implant placement. A sinus lift carefully elevates the sinus membrane and adds bone to create the space and depth needed for a successful implant. We offer both direct and indirect sinus lift techniques depending on the extent of bone height required.

What to expect during the implant process

Every implant case at Planet Dental begins with a thorough assessment and ends with a restoration that fits your life. Here’s what the process typically looks like

Post-operative care and long-term maintenance

With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more—many patients keep them for life.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are potential candidates. You may be a good candidate if you:

If you’ve been told in the past that you don’t have enough bone for implants, procedures like bone grafting or a sinus lift can often create the foundation needed for successful placement. The best way to know for certain is a consultation and scan.

Frequently asked questions

Are dental implants painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure itself. We use local anaesthesia and offer sedation options for comfort. Mild soreness in the days following surgery is normal and typically well-managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

From implant placement to the final restoration, the complete process typically takes 3–6 months—depending on how quickly your bone integrates with the implant and whether any preparatory procedures (such as grafting) are required.

With proper oral hygiene and routine dental visits, implants can last 20 years or more. Many patients keep them for life.

Most healthy adults are good candidates. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes, active gum disease, or certain medical conditions may require additional evaluation before proceeding. We’ll assess your full health picture at your consultation.

Care for implants the same way you would natural teeth—brush and floss daily, and attend regular professional cleanings. Your hygienist will use implant-safe instruments to clean around the implant sites without damaging the surface.
