Dental Implant Placement

Secure, long-term replacement for missing teeth using advanced implant surgery.

About the Treatment

Dental implants are titanium posts placed in the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. After a full consultation and X-rays, the implant is placed under local anaesthetic, and the area is allowed to heal for several months while the bone integrates with the implant.

Implants are one of the most durable and natural-feeling tooth replacement options, preserving jawbone and leaving neighbouring teeth untouched. They do come with a higher upfront cost and require a healing period, and certain medical conditions may limit suitability.

Bridges or dentures may be recommended as alternatives. After implant surgery, it’s important to follow soft-diet recommendations, avoid smoking, and keep the area clean to support proper healing.

Key Benefits

Benefits & Why It Works

  • Integrates directly with jawbone

  • Provides stable foundation for restorations

  • Prevents bone loss after tooth removal

  • Restores full chewing strength

  • Improves overall oral stability

Implant surgery works by allowing the titanium post to fuse with the jawbone, creating a secure base for long-term tooth replacement.

I had terrible experiences with dentists growing up, so as an adult I only go to dentists under duress. Tried 4 dentists and I finally struck gold with Dr Asa and his team! Now I have no issues going for my yearly check, I also am going through Angel aligners treatment because it's actually more affordable ($4,000 k cheaper than what I was quoted elsewhere). Dr Asa is super gentle and explains things well, his assistants must be telepaths because they always know what's needed, and Hola at reception is a lean mean efficient machine 💪 Oh and he has Netflix on the ceiling for distraction 😆 highly recommend if you're a wimp like me.

I hate going to the dentist! Dentist Roy was gentle and did a great job on 2 fillings, I couldn't feel my face so it was great that they said come back tomorrow for adjustment if my bite wasn't right. Its great they said that without me having to ask. 10/10.

I’ve been to a couple of dentists but this one is the best! Great staff who took care of my needs. The principal dentist Mr Asa Vete took the time to listen to my worries and explained my options. Much appreciated! Thank you and highly recommend.

I was feeling so nervous and embarrassed about my teeth after pregnancy and Dr Asa was so caring and understanding. I felt super validated and we have made a plan to fix my teeth in a way that works both financially and time wise for me. Thanks team!

Made my first visit back to the dentist after 10 years. Full mouth check up explained clearly, needed a root canal but the team made sure I was comfortable. Puts YOU first before money. Such a great team!
