Dental Implants in Christchurch

Missing teeth can affect far more than your smile; they can change how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself day to day. Dental implants replace both the root and crown of a missing tooth, offering a stable, natural-looking, long-term solution, and our experienced team guides you through every stage of the process.

What Are Dental Implants? An implant uses a surgical grade titanium post, surgically placed into the jawbone, which integrate with the bone over a couple of months of healing. Once healed, the post is fitted with a restorative crown, giving you a replacement tooth that looks and functions naturally.

The Implant Process. Treatment begins with a thorough assessment to determine whether implants are right for you. From there, we walk you through each stage, from placement to healing to final restoration, so you always know what comes next.

Ideal Timing. The best time to consider an implant is typically as soon as possible after a tooth is lost or extracted. The longer the wait, the more likely the surrounding bone is to deteriorate, which can make later placement more difficult. Implants can also help preserve bone density where a tooth has been lost.
