What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the most advanced solution for replacing missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as a root for the replacement tooth. Once the post is securely in place, a natural-looking crown is attached to restore both function and appearance. Implants are the only solution that preserves the jawbone and prevents facial collapse due to bone loss.
Introducing All-on-4 Implants
For patients missing several teeth or dealing with loose dentures, All-on-4 implants offer a revolutionary, same-day solution. With just four strategically placed implants, you can have a full arch of teeth restored. This technique provides:
Immediate Results: Walk out with a fully restored smile the same day.
Cost-Effective: Fewer implants mean reduced costs without compromising stability.
Natural Look & Feel: The custom-made bridge is designed to look and function just like natural teeth.
Stable and Secure: Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 offers a permanent, non-removable solution, ensuring comfort and confidence.
Why Full Mouth Implants Over Dentures?
Enhanced Chewing Efficiency: Implants allow you to eat all your favorite foods, even tough or crunchy items, without worrying about dentures slipping or causing discomfort.
Natural Appearance: Full Mouth Implants are designed to look and feel just like your natural teeth, seamlessly blending with your facial structure for a more youthful appearance.
Bone Health Preservation: Unlike dentures, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving your facial structure over time.
Low Maintenance: Full Mouth Implants only require routine brushing and flossing, just like natural teeth, with no need for frequent adjustments or special cleaning solutions.
Boosted Self-Confidence: Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a fixed, durable solution that enhances your overall quality of life, giving you the confidence to smile, speak, and laugh freely.
Cost-Effective in the Long Run: While implants may have a higher upfront cost, they are a one-time investment compared to the recurring expenses of denture replacements and maintenance.

Replacing One Tooth?
For patients missing just one tooth, a single implant offers the best solution. This replacement integrates seamlessly, without affecting the health of your surrounding teeth, giving you a stable, long-lasting result.
Missing Multiple Teeth?
If you're missing several teeth, implanted bridges supported by two or more implants can restore your smile. This solution allows multiple crowns to be securely placed, providing a natural look and reliable functionality.
Struggling with Dentures?
Say goodbye to messy adhesives and unreliable dentures. Implant-supported dentures click securely into place on dental implants, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. They’re removable for cleaning but stay firmly in place throughout the day.
Same Day Implants
With our advanced Same Day Implant procedure, you can walk out of Synergy Dental Clinic with a fully restored smile in a single day. This technique, often known as All-on-4, allows us to replace an entire arch of missing or failing teeth with just four strategically placed implants.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Dental Implants, and how do they work?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, ensuring a stable and permanent solution.
Am I a candidate for Dental Implants?
Most patients who are in good health and have adequate jawbone density are suitable candidates for dental implants. We will assess your oral health and bone structure during a consultation to determine if implants are the best option for you.
How long does the Dental Implant procedure take?
The Dental Implant process usually takes several months. The Implant placement procedure is quick, but time is needed for the implant to fuse with your jawbone (a process called osseointegration), which typically takes 3-6 months. Once healed, the final crown or denture is attached.
Are Dental Implants painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. We use local anaesthesia or sedation to ensure a pain-free experience. Any post-surgery discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication and subsides within a few days.
How long do Dental Implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, Dental Implants can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing, will help ensure the longevity of your implants.
What’s the success rate of Dental Implants?
Dental Implants have a success rate of around 95%, making them one of the most reliable and effective treatments for replacing missing teeth. Factors like good oral hygiene and overall health contribute to long-term success.
Will Dental Implants look and feel like natural teeth?
Yes! Dental implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They provide the same functionality and appearance as your original teeth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
How do I care for Dental Implants?
Caring for Dental Implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, and make sure to visit your Dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings. This will help ensure the long-term success of your Implants.
How much do Dental Implants cost?
The cost of Dental Implants varies depending on the number of Implants and the complexity of your case. We offer flexible payment options, including 0% interest financing, to make your treatment more affordable.
What if I don’t have enough bone for Implants?
If you have insufficient jawbone density, there are options such as bone grafting, which can rebuild the bone to support Implants. During your consultation, we will discuss if bone grafting or another solution is necessary before proceeding with the Implants.
A Long Lasting Solution
The success rate is 95% in a healthy person. Should an implant fail to integrate, we will replace it at no extra cost.
