Dental implants are the most advanced and permanent solution for missing teeth. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time, acting just like a natural tooth root. A custom crown is then attached — giving you a tooth that looks, feels, and functions exactly like your own.
At Eastdale Family Dental, we provide implant consultations and implant crown restorations. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants preserve jawbone, don't rely on neighbouring teeth, and can last a lifetime.
Why Implants Are the Gold Standard
- ✓ Looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth
- ✓ Preserves jawbone — prevents the bone loss that follows tooth loss
- ✓ Does not affect adjacent healthy teeth (unlike bridges)
- ✓ Permanent solution — can last a lifetime with proper care
- ✓ No slipping, no adhesives — fully stable
- ✓ Restores full biting force for comfortable eating
The Implant Journey
Consultation & Planning
We assess your bone density, gum health, and overall oral health to determine if implants are right for you.
Implant Placement
The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. This step is often referred to a specialist.
Osseointegration
Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone — creating a stable, permanent foundation.
Abutment Placement
A small connector (abutment) is attached to the implant post to support the crown.
Crown Fabrication
A custom porcelain crown is made to match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and size.
Crown Placement
The crown is secured to the abutment — completing your new, permanent tooth.
