About Dental Implants
Missing teeth can affect far more than your appearance — they impact how you chew, speak, and feel about yourself every day. At Smylo Dental, we offer advanced dental implant solutions that replace missing teeth from the root up, giving you a restoration that is virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Dental implants are small posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone over time through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, a custom-crafted crown is fixed onto the implant, completing your smile with a tooth that looks, feels, and functions exactly like the real thing.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants do not slip, do not require grinding down adjacent teeth, and actively prevent the bone loss that occurs when a tooth root is missing. Whether you need one tooth replaced or a full arch restored, Smylo Dental's implant specialists are equipped to design the right solution for you.
How It Works
Consultation & 3D Imaging
Your dentist conducts a thorough evaluation including digital X-rays and 3D CBCT imaging to assess bone density, gum health, and determine the precise implant placement position.
Implant Placement
Under local anaesthesia, the implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone. Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
Osseointegration (Healing Phase)
Over the next 3–6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone in a natural process called osseointegration. This creates a rock-solid foundation for your new tooth.
Abutment Placement
Once the implant has fully integrated, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant post. This acts as the anchor for your final crown.
Crown Fitting
A custom-fabricated porcelain crown matched precisely to the shade and shape of your surrounding teeth is permanently fixed onto the abutment, completing your restoration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about dental implants at Smylo Dental.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the surgery. Mild soreness for 2–3 days afterward is normal and easily managed with prescribed pain relief.
From the initial consultation to the final crown placement, the process typically takes 4–8 months. The majority of this time is the natural healing and bone-fusion phase, not active treatment.
Dental implants have a success rate of over 95% when placed by a qualified specialist and maintained with good oral hygiene. Smylo Dental uses clinically proven implant systems for optimal outcomes.
During the healing phase, a soft diet is recommended. Once the implant has fully integrated and the crown is placed, you can eat virtually anything — including hard and crunchy foods.
Most adults in good general health are candidates for implants. Sufficient jawbone density is required. Patients with certain medical conditions or heavy smokers may need additional evaluation. Your Smylo Dental specialist will assess your suitability at the consultation.
